Exciting news from the Philippines 🇵🇭 The first #seabirds have been tagged with #MCP program manager Autumn-Lynn Harrison on site to lead tag attachment training 🐦📍A milestone for #science and seabirds - read more about the adventure here 👉 facebook.com/OfficialTubbat…

📢 #WorldMigratoryBirdDay will be celebrated around the world on 10 May 2025! Read the statement received from Dr. Musonda Mumba, Secretary General of the Convention on Wetlands, to mark #WMBD2025 ➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=AJeXFq…

NEW PAPER in #ornithology models the future population trajectory of #seabirds in #Europe under #climate change and avian flu: buff.ly/4a9FiGt

DeSimone and Cohen of UMCES Appalachian Lab published paper in PNAS today showing consistent social relationships among songbird species during migration. Study could usher in a new field of research -- the community ecology of migration -- check it out! umces.edu/news/migratory…

Check out the impact of opting to #DrinkBirdFriendly in real time! This Summer Tanager was tagged by the Bird Friendly team on a coffee farm in Colombia in February and was just spotted earlier this month by a birder at Taylorsville Lake State Park in Kentucky! (1/2)

MCP along with partners from Smithsonian’s Virginia Working Landscapes and University of New England are filling gaps in understanding Bobolink migratory connectivity instagram.com/p/C9h77JqRE16/…

Does conservation work? Our paper by @rewild shows that it does: a global analysis of 665 trials (incl. several by @RSPBScience) found that conservation improved the state of biodiversity or slowed declines in two-thirds of cases @BirdLife_Sci science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Tracked migratory birds are documenting their own deaths along the African-Eurasian flyway. Energy infrastructure, illegal killing & poisoning to blame, outstripping natural mortality causes in tracked raptors, storks & cranes. #Ornithology doi.org/10.1016/j.bioc…

Reposition of #sample #metadata has the potential to boost scientific impact across #biology disciplines. Right now @Nature: nature.com/articles/d4158… Our initiative was first introduced in @IBIS_jounal along with the @AviSampleNet metadata repository. #ornithology

🦈 We have two exciting job opportunities available @TheSimsLab to work on #shark biologging movements, behaviour & distributions under #ClimateChange as part of the OCEAN DEOXYFISH project: 🌊 Project Technical Officer 🔬 Postdoctoral Research Scientist buff.ly/44FsDse

The biggest hummingbird in the world is a new species. Now out in @PNASNews and 8 years in the making, here's how we figured it out with mini tracking devices, genomics, and a century and a half of museum specimens.👇 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 🧵1/

Spring migration is heating up across the country! 3-Day BirdCast Predictions: 🌒Tonight (4/29) - 361 million birds 🌒Tomorrow (4/30) - 337 million birds 🌒Wednesday (5/1) - 401 million birds #MigrationMonday #LightsOutforBirds #MigratoryBirds 🗺️@CornellLab @ColoradoStateU

JOB ALERT @SMBC

New paper in @PNASNews by Ellen Robertson! Using #eBird data we show that most migrating #Birds track average (not current) #Plant green-up conditions, leading to decoupling of spring #Migration from earlier spring green-up caused by #ClimateChange pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Good news animals: all that teenage dare-devilry pays off...at least in migration. Adolescent exploration helps storks to learn straighter + shorter migration routes✈️ Paper @PNASNews by Ellen Aikens @UWyonews @anflack and the team @CBehav @UniKonstanz 1/2 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Welcome back, #BirdCast! 🤩 We are so excited for another season of spring #BirdMigration! Already 23 MILLION #MigratoryBirds are predicted to travel across the continental U.S. this evening. Don't forget to #DimtheLights for birds at night 🗺️ @CornellBirds & @ColoradoStateU
