I’m pleased to share my first publication! 🎉🐦 This work, developed during my Master’s degree, explores what drives shorebird migration, linking climate seasonality, wing morphology, and habitat use. Very grateful to my collaborators who made this possible! 🪶 #Ecology #Shorebirds

Deconstructing the morphological basis of ecogeographic variation in the hand-wing index, a widely used proxy for avian mobility, in the Yellow Warbler (Setophaga petechia) @asn-amnat.bsky.social doi.org/10.1086/739176 #birds #collectionsareessential #museums #ornithology #evosky

"I’ve spent countless hours in the field & at my desk studying Wilson’s Snipe, but the work is far from finished... As North American shorebird populations continue to suffer, it’s critical to highlight species that can inform strategies & connect communities to these broader trends." #ornithology

Buff-tailed Coronet is a great Andean hummingbird with little white boots. #Colombia #birds #nature 🌿

I was feeling down for taking a day off from my PhD...then I was reminded that sometimes we need the time off to just be. So here we are, Dobby and I, having a chill Monday. #PhDLife

We're having a great long weekend, then back to data analysis! #PhDlife

Happy international #wildlife day!

If you're in Australia, visit my website and grab a copy of Little Brown Birds of the Sydney Region whilst my new release sale lasts! Take a deep dive into the fascinating lives of these birds and get a complete guide to birding and identifying these birds. aussiewild.com.au/little-brown...

That’s a wrap on fieldwork! 🎉🦜🌿 Next up: data, analysis, and writing (lots of writing). But first—celebrating with a well-earned breakfast because tomorrow is also my birthday! 🎂🥂 #PhDLife #FieldworkDone #BirdResearch #SaltmarshScience #BirthdayVibes #OnToTheNextStage

My bestie @rahiljamin.bsky.social wrote an amazing paper! 🦜Using pattern-oriented simulations to model how superb lyrebirds spread in Tasmania—so freaking cool! Go check it out! 🔥

The stars of Avalon. Taken last night here in Glastonbury.

Last fieldwork trip this Saturday! 🦜🌿 After months of bird surveys, saltmarsh mud, and early mornings, my final fieldwork day is here! Next up: data analysis & writing. Excited (and slightly terrified) for this next stage! I love these places! Check the 📸 #PhDLife #Fieldwork #BirdResearch #SciComm

Hi, I’m Alejandra (or Ale)! 🐦 PhD candidate at UTas studying avian communities in Tasmanian saltmarshes using camera traps & traditional monitoring. Sharing research, fieldwork, & PhD life — and my dog Dobby 🐶🐾—excited to connect with fellow science folks! #PhDLife #Ecology #BirdResearch #SciComm
