Naturalist and birder currently working on the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas. I like forest songbirds and landscape ecology.

@TBrown_birds Aw that's so cool! I peeked around 1am in Leamington but I didn't see anything. Lots of light pollution though.

[Karl Heide @KarlHeide]

@elora_grahame No

@elora_grahame I can't think of a better group than owls but flycatchers (both old-world and new world) have a lot of variation in nest-type. New-world use all kinds of different niches and cups. Muscicapidae (old-world flycatchers) is a super diverse family with 59 genera so bound to have lots

(1/2) We’re excited to announce our next Sappy Hour series on Using Atlas Data! We’ll hear about the different ways that Atlas data is being used from people who are putting this knowledge into practice. Sappy Hours will run every Thursday from Feb. 1 - 22 at 7pm (Eastern Time).

@TBrown_birds Terrible news. I'm so sorry for your loss, Taylor. I can assure you you're not a horrible scientist in fact you're one of the best I've ever met. Also the time it takes to complete a thesis has no correlation to the quality of the work.

1/2 As we're gearing up for ✨YEAR 3✨ of the #ONBirdAtlas3, we have created an immersive way to explore the purpose of the Atlas. To showcase the importance of the data collected by the province’s birders, the Atlas team has created...(🥁Ruffed Grouse drumming in suspense🥁)...

2/2 A #StoryMap! Remind yourself why your contributions are so important to #birdconservation across the province. Share with your #birder friends who can still contribute to the Atlas: https://t.co/DwcMRmLxHr

@BirdIzLife Pine Grosbeak? Hoary Redpoll?

@TBrown_birds @CornellBirds @MerlinBirdID Check out the December challenge quiz for the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas (under "get involved > monthly challenge" on the website) https://t.co/ocplSaXTST. It has a bunch of fun range maps to guess!

[Karl Heide @KarlHeide]

@TBrown_birds Same thing here on Cape Cod yesterday. #thundersnow. Haha.

@TheMacAran Many PhD programs are literally 5 years long. That aside, most people go over by at least a semester. Academics can become really corrupted by the need to publish such that the wellbeing of the student is not important. Students are becoming suicidal because of this.

@ChadWitko @4letterbird In high-school I would stare out the patio door while eating breakfast, and during migration that produced a bunch of good stuff including my lifer orange-crowned warbler. Not bad for a 10x20m urban garden isolated by miles of lawn and pavement. The trick: native plants.

@elora_grahame Wow that's a really good video!

If you want to know which threatened or endangered species will be impacted by the development of the #Hwy413, here's a summary:

@BigBirdMegan Eventually. First it blisters, then after about a month it heals. The skin on the back of my hands still seemed unusually sensitive to sunlight about a year later, but that may have been just my imagination.

[Karl Heide @KarlHeide]

@BigBirdMegan Mind you I'm thinking about the time I got it on my hands.

[Karl Heide @KarlHeide]

@BigBirdMegan No, but wearing gloves protects the rash from the sun, and helps reduce itching. Calamine lotion helps the itch too but does not help get rid of the rash.

Y’all the lady @FairfieldHotels just called the police on me because I’ve been here for a week and they haven’t cleaned my room. I’ve asked everyday and they never came. I went to ask again and she said I was aggressive. Please pray I don’t die. Can anyone @MarriottBonvoy help 🥺

[Karl Heide @KarlHeide]

@TBrown_birds This dog

[Karl Heide @KarlHeide]

@TBrown_birds Yeah and just imagine where the US would be right now if they still had Trump
