🚨New paper out
Our study reveals how barn owl parents coordinate nightly chick feeding. Females step up when males underperform & pairs that meet more often at the nest share work more equally boosting chick survival🦉

Just came back from the Military Macaw Sanctuary in Oaxaca, Mx. I saw about 80 individuals. Light was very poor and birds were moving a lot. However, I was able to get a couple of pictures.

A tiny little reddish scops owl (Otus rufescens) I encountered in Coastal scrub in Borneo once. At about 20cm in height they are a cute little owl.

UTAS researcher @james-pay.bsky.social and team from School of Natural Sceinces have analysed 6 years of eagle-worn GPS tracking data to develop a tool to map the risk of eagle and power line collisions. Data driven science that promotes both vital infrastructure and biodiversity conservation.

Why do birds help predict bee richness beyond land covers? Birds complement satellites by indicating small habitat features like flowering shrubs and land management practices. Together with land covers, they add insight to wild bee conservation science. 🐤+🛰️=🐝

We are also monitoring the responses of the 3 species to these treatments. This owl chose to nest in an area that was thinned 3-4 years earlier. Owl photo by @connoragland, habitat photo by Ramiro Aragon.

We're working with the Forest Service to locate nests of Great Gray, Spotted Owls, and American Goshawks, so that forest managers can avoid nest areas when planning forest thinning and prescribed burn treatments used to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires.

By forcing huge numbers of American workers in government, academia, aid, and nonprofits into sudden unemployment, the Musk/Trump junta will almost certainly set off another stupid-ass recession.
And that’s just the immediate govt workers. All those employees no longer need software licenses, office supplies, lunch restaurants, etc and those businesses will start laying off their employees and so on
