@wayfaringwilly Also, folks watched flocks of shorebirds and seabirds leaving the Arctic to see which direction they flew. I started digging into the old jaeger records from cruises and coastal stations and lots of them report "scores flying west (or east) over sea"

@wayfaringwilly Oceanography cruises in the 1800s! This 1950s paper is nice summary https://t.co/8DBa4v3ahC Author Susan Scholander was married to pioneering marine mammal physiologist Per Scholander and the daughter of another famous physiologist Laurence Irving. Big names in my comps :)

So happy to share the news: our #openaccess paper is out in #BiologicalConservation discussing 25+ years of #marineconnectivity and #migratory species research! Huge thanks to the @ExploreMiCO team and supporters along the way https://t.co/mVnBwmis4x 🌐🌊 #horizonscan #highseas

@BarbieriSue @GordonConf Thank you Sue! I've been wanting to meet you for a long while :) Hopefully we get to during the conference!

In honor of #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, check out the story of two satellite-tagged long-tailed jaegers, named by the MCP team as Idita and Rod, on their migration back to their breeding site along the #Iditarod Trail in Nome, Alaska

Fascinating multi-generational take on the ⬆️ & ⬇️of learning to #track #animals. Hear from 60s grad student Harry Reynolds who tracked the 1st elk by 🛰️, interpretation by Lacey Hughey, who studies mammals today, and insight on new methods like Icarus! https://t.co/BlqZrPVvba

@birdsandbri Just sent you a note :)

A truly wonderful experience joining @Kazoomagazine's Motion Issue to for a feature on #animal #migration...to me the most moving of all natural phenomena! I can't wait to share with the little ones in my life, but also, am I too old to subscribe?

@twittmatti @MigConnectivity Sure thing. Here are the latest positions of the two tracked #skuas from #Alaska in #Australian waters :) With a special zoom on Port Phillip Bay. Hey #Melbourne #birders!

[Autumn-Lynn Harrison @needmarine]

Hey #Australia, cool bird alert! This dark morph Parasitic Jaeger (aka #Arctic Skua) carrying a satellite tag from #Alaska arrived in Oz four days ago. It is super close to the coast. Part of @MigConnectivity.

[Autumn-Lynn Harrison @needmarine]

@ChadWitko @MigConnectivity @SMBC Anywhere near here?? :) That coastal position is class 3 Argos! #NewZealand #Arctic #Skua

Parasitic Jaeger from #Alaska says #Tasmania is out, #Victoria is in. #Australia #Seabirds #Ornithology #CrossingBassStraitLikeItIsEasy

Still seeking 1 grad student for Upland Sandpiper project! Great opportunity to study #migratoryconnectivity and population structure, working with an established set of collaborators across the species’ range. @usask @SCO_SOC #shorebirds #ornithology #birdmigration

Want to work on shorebirds & waterbirds? Surveys, kayaks, & camping sound fun?
Can't wait to slog through mud & bugs?
Come work for meeee!

NEW PAPER: "6 principles for working effectively with landowners to advance bird conservation", now #OA in Ornithological Applications.

Our social-ecological evidenced-based principles should be valuable to all biodiversity conservation on private lands.

Today I was asked by a #scientist attending #COP15 how they could engage most effectively. I understand the uncertainty about how to do this well. It is a big meeting with different layers and so many events.
Here are a few suggestions🧵:
