Fly! (Northern Saw-whet Owl)

Just a quick reminder that asities exist. Endemic to forests of Madagascar, they construct pendulous nests and would like you to know that, yes, they know they have a little something on their face.

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review. This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month. Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

I saw an American Goshawk in my yard and it was awesome. #binoblast

*HEAVY BREATHING* (Northern Saw-whet Owl)

Slowly falling in love with this owl 🥰

Ah yes- the five owl personalities: sleepy, grumpy, goofy, nonplussed, and menacing

I found a red owl. Is this good or bad? (Eastern Screech-Owl)

Send this shit straight to the moon. H-index, impact factors, etc are useless horseshit. This just makes them nuanced useless horseshit. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I was privileged to spend a few intimate moments with this forest sprite ✨ (Northern Saw-whet Owl)

Check this shit out- that Eastern Screech-Owl we caught at my banding station the other night is a rare-ass brown morph! The gray morph dominates here in the northeast, followed by the red morph, with brown making up only 3% of the population. (1/2) www.jeaniron.ca/Owls/2014/mo...

Out now on the cover of @journal-evo.bsky.social! Led by Sarah Khalil, we took a genomic approach to investigate the hybrid zone between different-colored Red-backed Fairywren subspecies. We found some interesting candidate genes under selection. Check it out! academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...

Gotta catch em all!

K this is dope. Common Eliot W.

James is kinda on another level. Don’t miss anything he publishes.

Banding owls really is a spiritual experience. The woods are dark and quiet save for the rhythmic “toot, toot, toot” of the audio lure. They seem vacant. Suddenly, a tiny nocturnal spirit drops in to bless you with its brief presence. Then it’s off, likely never to be seen again.

"A few" and "a lot" are opposites, but "quite a few" and "quite a lot" mean the same thing. Let that shit sink in.

I submitted my @instbirdpop.bsky.social MAPS data

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

I’ll fight anyone who uses this
