@ChadWitko @AlvaroAdventure Timing of AOS is a bit early for typical LIGU dates in SW ON in August (towards end of month). Best to keep track of sightings & if one happens to turn up early, go for it. I'm on ON RBA Discord server and attending AOS, so if one turns up, I'll come and find you and tell you.

@FisherSpeaks I still maintain the "Vortek Voyage" episode is still the best ever, but I may be biased.

[Kevin Hannah @zonotrick]

@AnaCardellina @DevindeZwaan I'll be there. Would be good to connect to chat about projects/potential collaborations.

Today we saw a QUARTER MILLION warblers fly past Tadoussac, Quebec. >85,000 Bay-breasted Warblers, and >50,000 each of Cape May and Yellow-rumped Warblers. Full details, photos, and video here: https://t.co/7E1IEM1ouh

Come work with me! @ECCCSciTech @ECCCWildlifeSci is hiring new Research Scientist positions at multiple locations across the country. https://t.co/i5qNPZNMam

@teesdalebirder Heard about this behavior, but never seen it....until now. Very cool!

[Kevin Hannah @zonotrick]

Anyone from the Sackville office of CWS able to offer some suggestions?

If I needed fewer reasons to be on this platform anymore, why @xcanada do the same tweets just keep going by over and over again as I'm scrolling? It's like watching an episode of the #Flintstones.

@Nati_SanchezU @DMennill @AndyWGettysburg @iBioUWindsor @ScienceUWindsor @UWindsor @WildlifeAcoust @BirdsCanada @SDobney2 @Zapata_D_ How do you interpret the recordings? Is it manual, automated, or some hybrid of the two?

@elora_grahame Now that's a Big Dipper!

[Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas @ONBirdAtlas]

For atlassers in the Boreal Shield, it's a great time to take a stroll after dark to listen for the hoots of the #GreatHornedOwl as they are re-establishing territories and attracting mates now. Report any breeding evidence; we are in the safe dates!

Been a good start to the year for local owl sightings. Barred Owl last weekend and Eastern Screech Owl this weekend. Happy #SuberbOwl Sunday everyone! #birding #birdphotography #wildlife #Local #Ottawa

@ChadWitko @Team_eBird Instead of using the "explore" function on the mobile app (30 km tadius), this would be for trip planning on a macro scale

[Kevin Hannah @zonotrick]

@ChadWitko I'd love it if @Team_eBird would create a map that's the inverse of my sightings map. Instead of mapping what I've already seen by state/province/country, seeing where there's potential for new year/life birds would be awesome. It could be in colour, like Hotspots, to plan with

[Kevin Hannah @zonotrick]

@emilyrondel @LFDLCanada We built one and put it on our front lawn. It gets used A LOT! The better the book selection you provide the more people use it and replace the books they borrow with other good books. If not a source of reading material, it's certainly a curiosity for many folks walking by.

[Kevin Hannah @zonotrick]

@GowElizabeth @ECCCSciTech Cool! I'd be curious to hear how successful this approach is. We've done several projects using colour bands on birds in winter in Ontario, but have extremely low reporting rates of resights, especially foreign ones (not at original banding location).

D'Arnaud's Barbets are large, colourful, yet cryptic, birds that often associate with termite mounds.
