New paper out now at @consbiog.bsky.social !
eBird data reveals that nonbreeding conditions can affect prothonotary warbler spring arrival timing at broad scales, and spatial patterns suggest that eastern populations are more vulnerable to climate change

I had a really great birding trip today, where I got my FOY eiders and oystercatchers, as well as one of the coolest new birds I've seen here so far: a eurasian eagle owl!

I've had less opportunity to watch birds in the snow since coming to Finland than I expected but I did manage to see this very round bullfinch the other day

A new year & a new start for me as a PhD student studying avian responses to climate change at the University of Helsinki and the Finnish Museum of Natural History!
