Check out my new paper with Kelsey Biles & Jim Bednarz! We document the 1st record of female-female mounting & copulation in wild #raptors, between 2 female American #Kestrels observed for 5 weeks in north Texas! @research_raptor @UNTScience

[Raptor Research Foundation @research_raptor]

New from JRR: Bullock et al. report on an American Kestrel female-female pair that exhibited copulation and other typical breeding behaviors including nest-site inspection, territorial defense, and an apparent aerial courtship display

Fascinating article demonstrating humans’ influence on Anna’s #hummingbird #adaptation & #evolution!

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

Evolution doesn’t always take thousands or millions of years. Sometimes it happens right before our eyes.

Such is the case with the Anna’s hummingbird, a species that has undergone a dramatic transformation in just a few generations, all thanks to the advent of hummingbird feeders.

Devastating news for #crane conservation. #endangeredspecies

[Dallas Zoo @DallasZoo]

It is with a heavy heart that we announce our whooping crane chick, released to the wild in November 2023, was found deceased with a fatal gunshot wound on January 9 near Mamou, Louisiana.

In addition to protecting migrating birds at night, during the day we can help birds by making our windows visible and providing shelter, food, and water! Creating bird friendly spaces in our communities will help birds on their journey. #LightsOutTexas

[Bryce W. Robinson @BW_Robinson]

Last week in Oklahoma, our team (including some keen @Cornell undergrads) captured this white Red-tailed Hawk!

@sjportugal1979 @WildEarth Fascinating!

[McClure 🦅🦉🦤 @CJWMcClure]

We ranked all bird species by conservation priority. Here’s how we did it and what we found. Illustrations are by @BW_Robinson. 🧵

[Audubon Texas @AudubonTX]

Happy first day of Fall Migration! Join us in going #LightsOutTexas this fall by turning all non-essential lights out from 11 p.m. – 6 a.m. until November 30 to protect the millions of birds traveling south to warmer weather!

@research_raptor Thanks for sharing!

[Heather Bullock @HeatherEBullock]

For #conservation efforts to succeed, it’s vital that we consider the human dimension.

[The Wildlife Society @wildlifesociety]

To boost struggling wildlife populations, mgrs often move wildlife from more abundant populations to areas where they are in trouble. Some efforts are more successful than others & the reason may have more to do with humans than wildlife @Mitch_Serota https://t.co/8sTDgHteNB
