@hood_naturalist Barking and growling raccoons and American Robins is my best guess.

Need some help from science Twitter for species ID. What is making this sound?? Memphis, TN

@amcuervo I’m going to need to travel to Colombia to explain this. #gringosplainer

Is there a word or term for global north birders and ornithologists that come over to explain to us our birds and the ones we do research on? Birdsplaining? Gringosplaining? What term would you come up with?

@rgibbo3 @zineera Ahh, the elusive dancing bear/bird sticker! One day @zineera will surprise you with this! 😂

This shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion. Just like we don’t let dogs free roam, we need to normalize not letting cats free roam, either. Better for the cats. Better for our environments.

I'm excited to share our new review paper in @ESAFrontiers showcasing how #CitizenScience programs around the world are advancing science, education & policy on the global issue of bird-window collisions!

Our Neotropical birds will soon be on their way north. Spring is coming.

@LAevolving The Ouachita (WASH-uh-tah) Mountains are incredible. This is where our family would camp, fish, boat, and hike growing up. Flipping stream rocks for salamanders and crawdads was good fun.

You gotta love a Southwestern Naturalist paper with 163 citations

@CinTyLeeEarth @elonmusk SpaceX bought a very small piece of land on a public hwy surrounded by conservation lands. I doubt that viewing access was among the most important decision factors driving their site selection.

With gale force winds, it was not the right time to go down to south Texas to look for birds. But looks like ⁦@elonmusk⁩ rocket operations continue even in bad weather. Always amazed how open to viewing the boca chica site is.

**NEW** eBird Trend maps for N. America - Thanks to >1 million citizen scientists we now have fine-scale maps of population trends for >500 bird species. Many are deeply sobering, but they also contain hope that we can act @Team_eBird @CornellBirds science.ebird.org/en/status-and-…

In addition to being “shy as a mouse,” what else does our mysterious bird of the week have in common with tiny rodents? Find out at abcbirds.org/bird/black-rai…

So toxic! And yet we see products containing neonics in every garden center. Check this list: beyondpesticides.org/assets/media/d…

Birds are on the move and moving south. Did you know that their movements can be predicted and forecasted similarly to weather? Learn more about the tools available and get more info on how migration is looking in your neck of the woods. abcbirds.org/blog20/trackin…

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow. nytimes.com/2022/09/14/cli…

@WaterbirdSociet Abstracts deadline extended to 15 September!

Join the UAV/AI symposium at the Waterbirds meeting in Corpus Christi to learn how this tech is helping scientists study and monitor waterbirds! Abstracts due August 30. More info: waterbirds.org/annual-meeting/

@brown_birds Agree! There is a lot to love.

My message about the importance of bird mascot accuracy is finally getting through to the youth 🙌

An excellent trifecta, @gibson90r @NuriaSalmern1 & @ElizabethAtchoi are each taking home the @ABCbirds prize of a year's membership! #WSTC8

@jwiggi21 @brown_birds The Naturalist by EO Wilson

There’s a book I read in undergrad. It was written by an entomologist, was a journal of shorts. I can’t remember much else about it beyond that it stoked my curiosity and wonder. Help?! Any ideas of what it could be? I want to find it again.
