PhD candidate studying pre-breeding behavior in Leach's storm-petrels. Mediocre birder. I also like cool pens.
Another #superseabirdsunday and now it's almost the end of the field season... This is a juvenile captured in a burrow who will probably fledge in the next couple of days.

It's #superseabirdsunday and our Newfoundland field season has just begun! A razorbill and some other alcids on Great Island, Witless Bay (NL).

Happy national puffin day to the best alcid, the razorbill (it's been a great week already for terrorizing everyone with my binocular photography)

I'm so here for #tubenosestuesday!! Another of our Leach's storm-petrels from Witless Bay, Newfoundland, plus perhaps my favorite LHSP picture yet:

For #SuperSeabirdSunday: two handsome great black-backed gull fledglings with some alcid neighbors on Great Island, Newfoundland

At the Field Museum on this #SuperSeaBirdSunday! Razorbills really are the best alcid

It's #SuperSeabirdSunday!

We mist-netted this already-banded Leach's storm-petrel in early August on Gull Island, NL. The band report revealed it was banded as an adult in 2003, making this bird almost certainly older than I am!

Great Island dawn chorus with kittiwakes and gulls in the background, and catch the eagle at the end!

Inviting you to pause for a sec to listen to what this Leach's storm-petrel has to say
