Hello #BlueSky👋🏻! Joining the flock to share some cool stuff about #birds, #birdbanding, #research, #climbing and #photography! Building a new community is quite the steep slope so any recs are appreciated 💕
Attending #CSEE2025 this week? Catch me on July 7th talking about what we’ve learned from stalking cardinal’s movements in the city! And if you can’t make it but want to chat about #birds and #urbanecology please come say hi if we cross paths during the meeting! ☺️

Fields of plastic: gulls obtained plastic from farmland as often as the ocean, challenging our original assumptions that plastics are a marine problem.

A new paper out by an excellent team, led by @mcgilluniversity.bsky.social undergrad Sofia Higgs.
Here is our latest paper on plastic debris in herring gulls in the St. Lawrence led by Sofia Higgs. We found that plastic occurrence is linked to breeding stage.
Thanks to Christina Petalas, @movementecology.bsky.social and Jennifer Provencher

Quel plaisir de se joindre au laboratoire de @carlyziter.bsky.social le temps d’un avant-midi pour participer au colloque “Cirque Scientifique” lors du congrès de @acfas.ca 💡
Plusieurs beaux projets de recherche sur #EcologieUrbaine y ont été présenté!

Kicked off the climbing season in Weir last weekend! Beautiful rock face oriented south, one of the first climbing area to be dry in the Laurentides.

Déplorable qu’encore une fois, un boisé riche en biodiversité composé de #milieuxhumides et de tourbières (fournissants des services écosystémiques non-négligeables) se retrouve en danger de destruction. D’autant plus que la ville de #Blainville avait initialement refusé un tel projet… 🤔

Universities rely enough on grants that they might eliminate positions — perhaps tenured faculty — if the financial situation becomes dire enough. But in the meantime, grad students, postdocs, and “soft money” researchers typically are paid ENTIRELY on federal grant funding. No grant = no salary.
