@evornithology Surely they're teaching precision of terminology - they're not *related* to Dinosauria because they are nested *within* Dinosauria??

I will literally fight you

Birds and dinosaurs are not related.

@CAndrewFrank @evornithology No see you’re asking questions that’s not fair

If the bottom of your banding kit doesn’t look like this at the end of the season, did you even band?

I'm really at a loss for words here. Never has it been more embarrassing to be an American on the world stage.

@KotDailey @ibwo_discourse the bill is also definitive for IBWO

@ibwo_discourse This is hilarious. What a bill of goods.

@timgill924 Writing is important but I’d like to see more reminders that you should be reading the entire catalog of a given journal for each written page you produce.

When I was in 3rd year of PhD, I read every paper published in AER, QJE, JPE from 2000-2020, bc I wanted to get a sense of what everyone was working on. It took I think 3 full time months, spread out over half a year or so? Was great and gave me a bunch of useful perspective

Florida!
Northern Mockingbird....no. Florida has huge avian biodiversity, it can do better than a Northern Mockingbird. When you think of birding in Florida one thing that always comes to the head is the Limpkin, a relative of rails and cranes. So that's my pick

I saw this post and decided to compile what I think should be the state bird of all 50 states! Let me know if you think my choices are better or worse than the current state birds!
States are sorted alphabetically and photo credits will be tagged or in the alt text

Devastated to learn that most states do not have their own unique state bird. What’s even the point.

@timgill924 Tim, will you sign your figure if I legally purchase it first? Or should I steal it to pump up my felony figures?

Not my job. Just pointing it out. You may not like it, but deal with it.

@c_lattin @DoctorZen Changes first when people in positions to do so
1) make the shift to primarily pre-prints themselves and
2) don't penalize EC/disadvantaged folks who do the same
Doesn't have to *replace* the current publishing model, it just has to make the bottom fall out on the exploitation.

Note: Don't pick up wild birds! I have permits and training.

Unfortunate circumstances, but cool to finally get hands on a cedar waxwing!

Two weeks under my belt teaching ornithology at @UCLAEEB! I’m learning that pacing is key (and mine isn’t great) and that there’s a lot of bird stuff to cram into each lecture. Hopefully they learn something and love birds by the end!
