Some SCIENCE today: detecting mottled duck nesting attempts using geolocators mounted on leg bands! Those dark vertical areas indicate a hen sitting on a nest for a month = successful hatch!

It’s that time of year again!

I’m hiring three 🦆 technicians to assist in data collection for my Master’s project on Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks. Please share!

@ByPiperHutch @JSODonoghue This for the win today

[Kevin Ringelman @KevinRingelman]

@KateLaskowski Thanks for sharing. I was lucky to be *just* on the outside of this in grad school. Now that I'm back at Davis we should grab a coffee sometime. I have ideas about behavioral variation and plasticity in whistling-ducks I'd like to bounce off of you

Undergrad thesis from @KatieMiranda_ published today! Traditional monitoring methods dramatically underestimate duckling recruitment in cavity-nesting waterfowl @LSU_Honors @JonathanEarle2

The juxtaposition of having my writing critiqued and then reading literally any Clifford book to my kids is really just too much right now.

@CSU_FWCB Zoom option? @Kyle__Horton

[Kevin Ringelman @KevinRingelman]

@GrahamFAppleton Clearly not a random occurrence. Super cool

[Kevin Ringelman @KevinRingelman]

The most astounding part of this is the *decision* to forage at 10,000 ft where it feels like prey encounter and the energetic return on investment is unlikely. Or, maybe not.

Amazing evidence of dusk Peregrine attack on a Grey Plover, while the bird was flying at an altitude of 3000 metres (nearly 10,000 feet).

@evornithology Day 1 of receiving review: skim quickly get mad go outside and look at birds
Later that evening or that week: figure out what's real and what you've just explained poorly and have a bourbon about it
Later later: get to work, 90% of comments are legit

@CyrusBaird The doves seem especially complacent this year

[Kevin Ringelman @KevinRingelman]

Prairie ducks down, boreal ducks up. Especially noteworthy: half of all the pintail counted were in the far north.
