Some bird names carry connotations that are deeply disturbing. The American Ornithological Society recently hosted a panel discussion of that issue, and this article from the Cornell Lab is a good summary.

@carolynmcoyle If it makes you feel any better, I flopped one portion of the GRE myself. Our dept has now made the GRE optional for graduate program applicants. While some advisors/depts may still pay attention to it, many a moving away from using GRE scores as criteria. I wouldn't sweat it!

The eBird life... 800 kind of snuck up on me.

Our research on rare birds and birder behavior was discussed by a panel on the ABA Podcast this month! Even though they were off on some of the details of our methods, it was an interesting discussion from the perspective of some in the birding community.

[Amer. Birding Assoc. @ABA]

On the American Birding Podcast, This Month in Birding! The panel of @canicas @JERutter & @brdcsstlbtt discuss owl politics, the MBTA, & why the Patagonia Picnic Table Effect still holds a place in our hearts, even if it might not actually exist.

Well-written article about the Patagonia picnic table effect, mentioned on @ABA podcast this week. (I’m going this Sunday)

Very worthwhile read!

We need maps by Indigenous Peoples, for Indigenous Peoples. Moreover, existing GIS ecosystems need to be designed in ways that support Indigenous data sovereignty and visibility—for the benefit of all.

How many effect sizes estimates are “enough” for an ecological meta-analysis? Way more than many ecologists think! https://t.co/blUTDiq9z9

A cool new look at the impacts of the pandemic on birder behavior and eBird data.

[eBird @Team_eBird]

Has the pandemic changed how you bird? A new study found region-specific changes: ⬆️ in stationary checklists & more urban #birding. Behavioral changes can impact quality & quantity of #eBird data & must be taken into account. https://t.co/spoe627rQE
