new paper - we analyze blood parasites in 2268 birds sampled over 3000 m of elevation

but I want to talk about this by telling a personal story - about how one morning I woke up on the concrete floor of my hotel room, with no memory of how I got there

Have you ever noticed the buds on the trees in winter? Next time you go for a walk take a closer look. They are *stunning* 🤗

Well, I wasn't expecting to see a free-ranging cat playing with a live mouse for over 2 hours on my #SnapShotUSA cameras... but here it is (time-lapse of photos)...

Please keep your cats inside, for the safety of your cat and wildlife.

Plethodontidae is the most species-rich family of salamanders in the world, containing over 450 species found in 28 genera. These salamanders are collectively known as the lungless salamanders and rely on cutaneous respiration for gas exchange (they breathe through their skin).

This stunning Rosy Starling in Weymouth was easily the highlight of my day.

I cannot wait for this!

Due in August. This long-awaited book will be invaluable to East Asian and European birders/ringers alike. Can't wait! Express interest here: https://t.co/Y8gY5VX7Mi

Needed this little bit of happiness today. Great podcast episode that transported me back to forests and marshes of the east coast. @erlynerdgetbird have you listened to this? Thanks @SidedoorPod @PeterPMarra

[Peter Marra @PeterPMarra]

Had a great time doing this podcast with Lizzie of @smithsonian just before we were all shut down. They did a great job. Birds, birds...turtles and even muskrats but also why it's important to #bringbirdsback and protect #environment @Georgetown

[Kayla Baker @calebacre]

@PeterPMarra @smithsonian @Georgetown @PeterPMarra Lovely episode! Listening to you describe your affinity for SOSP and their ability to trigger such strong nostalgia gives me great joy.

Really obvious ‘pollen horns’ on this Male Blackcap, caused by feeding on pollen rich plants on migration and pollen deposited around its beak.

[Kayla Baker @calebacre]

Reflecting on one of the most memorable work days I've had. Missing these interactions and the bonds formed with Neighborhood Nestwatch participants. Thank you @SMBC

There's something I've been meaning to tell you...I'm leaving soon. Sorry. Thanks for all the sunflower seeds. Try to keep the feeder regularly filled next year.

[Kayla Baker @calebacre]

Sad to have missed it 😭

[Kit Straley 🐦🤓💚 - inactive @erlynerdgetbird]

what a week! 1st a great visit w/ @clarkrushing at UMass, then talks by @PeterPMarra, @chiroxiphia81, & @ProfRubega at the @MassAudubon meeting. migration truly is epic, & the new tech & modeling approaches give me hope as we further our understanding of the challenges for birds.
