It's that time again! Fun in the sun in North Carolina.

@davidchille Congrats to you Dr. Hille! I hope soon to feel the same. 😀

@abigailthiemkey Curvy buxom women make GREAT field biologists. Try REI. I get mine there and they last through several seasons in the Amazon.

@cactusquoll My reviewers for a paper enjoyed the fact that I named my study birds after iconic rock-n-roll singers.

@AndyJBoyce Why not? Sounds good to me!

[Kate Goodenough @skimmerchick]

Safe travels!

@paula_cimprich Please turn off your lights for the birds!

[Kate Goodenough @skimmerchick]

Not another one! Whew this is a busy hurricane season!

How should you start a lit review? Use #litsearchr an #rstats package for automatically searching literature using text-mining and keyword co-occurrence networks. The code allows for reproducible science too! Work by @ElizaGrames https://t.co/BGD1lwSvXv

@csilerlab @IamJoeyBrown Congrats @IamJoeyBrown !

Nice write-up of Long-billed Curlew movement research.

[Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center @SMBC]

With the use of GPS tags, @SMBC researchers & collaborators are gaining insight into the incredible migration of long-billed curlews across N. America. Find out how this technology is helping to unravel the mysteries of curlew migration and conservation.

@patricia_szczys At least it's only a cat 1!

Morning paddle before it gets too hot to be outside. Even in Oklahoma I can find my kind of birds. Forster's terns.

[Kate Goodenough @skimmerchick]

@birdfiddler @Kyle__Horton @CarolynSBurt Good job Kyle! Congratulations to you both!

My fascination with sunflowers continues to grow.

Our work on American Oystercatchers in North Carolina is getting some much-appreciated attention. https://t.co/veeotB6rlC

[Kate Goodenough @skimmerchick]

Yay! More tern science!

This is great news for
#ternscience!

@thehappywren Oh gosh! Hugs!

[Kate Goodenough @skimmerchick]

@AndyJBoyce @BLM_MTDKs @USFWSRefuges Yikes!

A nice article from Ben Graham on our American Oystercatcher research in North Carolina.

[Ben Graham @dbengraham]

Here's a deep dive into new research by @AudubonNC & @skimmerchick using GPS to track how oystercatchers move around their neighborhood: https://t.co/4ZNVsZR9pH

We want to know what makes certain habitat better for raising chicks, which will help inform our conservation work.
