Wyatt the Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle reached a new personal best altitude of 1950 m the other day. Using the thermal updraft he gained up to 4.5 m/sec in height. #wedgetailedeagle 🦅

Overhead power lines kill millions of birds a year. Scientists found a way to help cut the devastating toll

As electricity networks expand, the risk of birds becoming injured or electrocuted by power lines increases. How can we protect them? @JamesMPay @UTAS_ theconversation.com/overhead-power…

Stoked to have a cover photo for @EcographyJourna! In our paper doi.org/10.1111/ecog.0… we included temporal dynamics into SSFs, resulting in daily patterns of movement and habitat selection.
Simulating then gave us dynamic spatial predictions

Fantastic PhD opportunity to get to grips with the maths of population monitoring – via Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagles:

@StMaryMacKiller Ah interesting! We're not GPS tracking those birds sadly. How small of area do you think they are ranging over? We've seen a lot of variation in how much adult pairs range, but it's usually over 15 km2.

@JamesMPay Two wedgetails moved in north of the Devil’s Elbow cove on the Tamar last year. Are either of them yours & gps tracked? I’m really curious as to why they’ve stayed within a really small range over the last week.

MRes 2023/24 applications now open @uochester @BioSciChester! Two projects with me - on social behaviour/conservation in birds🐦& camels🐫. Plus other projects covering wide interests. Please share far & wide! #findamasters #postgraduatestudy www1.chester.ac.uk/biological-sci…

@WildImmunity Ah cool! Yeah we have a PhD student studying them at the moment. They've mostly finished their fieldwork but I'll get them to get in touch. Thanks for letting me know!

@JamesMPay we have a pair of grey grey goshawks hanging around Lenah Valley for about a month. Have not found a nest yet. Anybody studying goshawks in Tassie?

And thats a wrap for PhD fieldwork! Four seasons of surveys, nest monitoring, and tagging birds has come to an end with our last juvenile tagged this morning for our survival study. On to analysing data and writing up findings! Hopefully they can help support this species

We learnt a lot from this one bird...
Australian Wildlife Conservancy@awconservancy
For years, we've been tracking the movements of the Red Goshawk, Australia’s rarest bird of prey. And recently, one flew +1350km to the arid zone, Marion Downs! This is a bird that lives in the tropical forests of Northern Australia... or so we thought! 📷B Leue, S Cherriman/AWC

new paper: "Great Gray Owls hunting voles under snow hover to defeat an acoustic mirage" was just published! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
In it, we ask: how does great gray owl hunt thru snow? Part of the answer is this enormous facial disc they have (largest of any owl species)

Researchers used GPS tracking to analyze the behavior of Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagles. Info on where behaviors occur on the landscape can guide planning for new roads, power lines, and wind turbines to minimize risk. Read more: ow.ly/LuYI50Lcsgo

New paper- authors.elsevier.com/a/1fqaG1R%7EeO…
We present an approach for predicting where animals perform different behaviours.
Using data from Tasmanian #wedgetailedeagles we map where perching, short and long flights are likely to occur, which can help manage this endangered population.
