A little obsessed with Leach's storm-petrels (but a softie for all birds!). Atlantic Outreach Biologist with @BirdsCanada_Atl. She/her.

New paper! 🔥📝

We use @BirdsCanada Atlantic Nocturnal Owl 🦉 Survey data and banding / radio-tracking 📡 data to link irruptive fall 🍂 migrations with elevated breeding abundance in Northern Saw-whet owls (everyone's favourite #owl 😉)! #Ornithology

@TBrown_birds I got: Leach's storm-petrels is a bit of a mess but I think it's a good idea to get a bit more information

...It's not wrong 🤔😂

BREAKING: AOS will change all English bird names currently named after people within its geographic jurisdiction—one step in an effort to address past wrongs and engage more people in the enjoyment, protection and study of birds. https://t.co/EgGbux7TPR #BirdNames

[Rielle Hoeg @RielleHoeg]

@IngridPollet @DocHPJones How about "Cackling" or "Wandering"? Sometimes they remind me of rubber duckies or squeaky toys too but those wouldn't make for very dignified names for our little friends!

The cupcake methodology for weighing Storm-petrel chicks is becoming somewhat challenging as some birds reach critical mass...
#FaroesFieldwork

[Rielle Hoeg @RielleHoeg]

I've been weighing them all wrong🥹

[Ben Porter @bardseyben]

Great to start the Storm-petrel study season out in the Faroes. A handful of fluff balls in the nestboxes already, but most have hatched out in the last couple of days - really hoping we'll be able to deploy some @pathtrackltd GPS tags on the adults in the coming days!

Starting a new investigation, recording Leach's Storm-Petrels at their nesting burrows @BSSkentisland. A group project with @IngridPollet and a team of petrel researchers in eastern Canada. 🎤🐦‍⬛🇨🇦
Thanks to @SDobney2 for launching our first recorder this year!

[Maritimes SwiftWatch @Mar_Swifts]

A reminder that today, June 1st, is a National Chimney Swift Roost Monitoring date. Monday, June 5th is our last one! Thank you to everyone who has gotten out to count swifts so far!
