Totally not annoying at all

In addition to the Horned Larks and Chestnut-collared Longspurs, the Long-billed Curlews have begun hatching! These little guys are telling us so much about how the American Prairie works : )
(Observed and handled with proper permits and experience)

Having an incredible time here in the American Prairie with the SMBC studying Long-billed Curlews, Horned Larks, and Chestnut-collared Longspurs and their relationships with Black-tailed Prairie Dogs : )

For the 5th day of Fishmas, here is this Grass Carp which was observed in the Arkansas River on behalf of research for ATU Wildlife Graduate Student Nathan Mansor’s project studying the relationship between Interior Least Terns and surrounding fish communities.

If anyone's looking for #biologymeme #tshirts either for yourself or as a #holidayidea for friends, I've got you covered! Available on my #redbubble of the same name (And yes, I have a ton of #fish related ones too)(my #designs are also on #Totebags #coffeemugs, #hats and more)

[Coley Turner @coleyoptera]

I like to do this thing where I go #birding and #herping at the same time
I call it birping

[Coley Turner @coleyoptera]

Still one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken....a Least Tern chick at sunrise 💕

[Coley Turner @coleyoptera]

@MobassherH24348 Correct! And the other is a blacktail shiner

[Coley Turner @coleyoptera]

The epic highs and lows of fish work

Noone ever warns you that being a Wildlife/Fisheries Technician means having dozens of close-up photos of fish mouths. Look at this. I can't ever scroll through my camera roll with people looking. It all looks like this.

[Coley Turner @coleyoptera]

On the rare occasions I'm not in the field, I make niche biology meme related t-shirts. Here are a few of my favorites. Also available in other colors and as stickers and other products at my redbubble https://t.co/h4kFs1X4ea
