Over halfway through the MAPS season at Stone Prairie and it’s been a good one! Some highlights include this Yellow-billed Cuckoo & Worm-eating Warbler. @hendrixcollege skills are advancing & we’re enjoying working with our amazing partners @ARGameandFish & ANHC

Congrats to the @uwi_network and a huge shout out to @masonfidino for leading the charge and putting our findings so nicely into this thread 😊 Also grateful for the support of @ARGameandFish and @hendrixcollege in making this research happen for the Little Rock node of UWIN.

Beyond thrilled to share the new @uwi_network paper out today in @PNASNews where we show that gentrification drives patterns of wildlife diversity in cities. #urbanecology #cameratrapping #mammals 🧵1/14

These temps won’t keep this @uwi_network team from setting up game cameras in Little Rock! Showed the new @hendrixcollege field team for 23-24 how to set cameras today after meeting with our partners at @ARGameandFish. They’re a solid bunch!

It has been a record breaking year so far at MAPS at Stone Prairie. We’ve encountered 120 birds & some adorbs warblers, including this Black-and-white, a sp we haven’t caught since ‘21. On day 1, we caught these 3 late migrants which were 1sts for the station. Can you name them?

@HightowerJn Two of my Hendrix students will be presenting posters there. Please find them and go have lunch or coffee or something! I’m sending them all alone. 😬 They’re wonderful people!

So looking forward to seeing you @TigNotaro at @walton_arts in June, but would certainly understand if you felt compelled to change your plans given recent developments there.

[Dr. Maureen McClung @NatureWithMojo]

Field work started this week! We established our net lanes and caught a couple of beauties in the process of training. Eastern river cooters, Magnolia Warbler, and Gray-cheeked Thrush.

@HightowerJn I help run an urban wildlife project with 30 cameras across Little Rock. ~10% of photos are birds and we ID ~90% of bird photos to species. We identified 41 bird spp. bw Jul 20 and Jul 21.

Had a nice time birding with these rad @HendrixBiology grads over break! Dipped on the Short-billed Gull but not on a good time! @Krajcir4birds @Leah_C_C

Had a great time looking for #fossils with the Hendrix Naturalists Club, my kids, and @ShamindriT in Leslie, Ark. lots of crinoids and bryozoans in the #rocks. @HendrixBiology

[Hendrix College Biology & Health Sciences @HendrixBiology]

The Environmental Biology class sampled macroinvertebrates at Cadron Creek for the #freshwaterbiodiversity lab and examined the critters before releasing them back to the water. It was a beautiful day and @ShamindriT and the class enjoyed being out in the field! #funinthefield

Had a blast reminiscing with Dr. Hardin about her work at Hendrix. What a legacy she leaves!

[Hendrix College @hendrixcollege]

Natural spaces at HDX, roles in teaching + administration, beginning the Environmental Studies Program, Hendrix-in-London, dancing like algae... just some of Dr. Joyce Hardin's topics with @NatureWithMojo ’01 for If These Bricks Could Talk! Listen: https://t.co/Q3CdA6wCah
