Migratory birds perform extraordinary journeys—but we still don’t fully understand how they do it. #TiiaKärkkäinen, @pablosalmon.bsky.social & @barbarahelm.bsky.social reveal why the field of migration physiology is still wide open for new discoveries ➡️ vist.ly/56fr7 #ornithology

Let's prioritize installing solar panels on structures like car parks and building rooftops instead of agricultural land, as this approach embodies sustainable development.

Me trying to remember how to do my job after the long weekend:

tl;dr — I finally downloaded Merlin A bird was screaming this morning and I wanted to know what it was because it looked like a blue jay but it wasn’t blue. TURNS OUT THERE WERE NINE DIFFERENT KINDS OF BIRDS AROUND ME WTF WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT BIRDS

"Das Gesundheitswesen ist existenziell auf Zuwanderung angewiesen. Entsprechend gross ist die Sorge über die 10-Millionen-Initiative. Jetzt warnen sogar die SVP-Vertreter vor einer zu strikten Umsetzung."

Wow, this is peak bird intelligence. These birds saw someone feeding a wounded bird, so they started pretending they were also injured.

Cool new preprint led by Martins Briedis: Eurasian wrynecks from Germany use very different migration strategies (from S Europe to sub-Saharan Africa). Multi-sensor logger data show long migration trips are costly, but warming winters may soon favor staying in S Europe doi.org/10.64898/202...

Some kids are always on the move – others prefer a good book. We show that early-life behaviour in golden eagles 🦅 cascades across life stages: more active nestlings fledge earlier, explore more, and disperse sooner. tinyurl.com/3sb8jnsz @vogelwarte.bsky.social @safilab.bsky.social #ornithology

Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉

I like using the Merlin app to identify birdsong when walking in Gledhow Valley woods, which are ancient woodland, as this reading clearly shows.

[Day 5] GOD: What do you think? ANGEL: You’re tired. Why don’t we try making the birds tomorrow.

For decades biologists assumed ravens follow wolves to their kills. Our paper @science.org shows something different: ravens rarely follow wolves far. Instead they remember areas where wolf kills are common and return to them—sometimes from >150 km away. doi.org/10.1126/science.adz9467 📷Dan Stahler

NEW JOB in #ornithology helping with data management and analysis to understand the dispersal patterns of juvenile little owls: buff.ly/bzwui1c

In a new paper, we found that provisioning rate and biomass in Little Owls increased with the area of high-quality habitats, and that such habitats also acted as a buffer against adverse weather. doi.org/10.1002/ece3... @ecol-evol.bsky.social @matthiastschumi.bsky.social
