Woodcock are a peculiar shorebird and nest during their spring migrations (up to 6x). Here are some of the migratory movements taken between nesting attempts for individually GPS-tagged females during 4 breeding seasons in eastern North America #itinerantbreeding #EWMRC

Purpose-built open-source algorithm for classifying ducks from UAV imagery. Come see Zack Loken's talk at Ducks9 this week! (model currently instructed to ignore hens...not enough imagery right now for the model to parse them)

My brother and I defended our dissertations! I’ve accepted a postdoc at @universityofri and @BaknerNicholas at @tennesseetech. We couldn’t have done this without the support of our family, friends, and PhD committees. Proud of you Nick!

New short communication in Food Webs by myself and @KevinRingelman. We used modified trail cameras to observe wood duck nests and found red-bellied woodpeckers depredate and consume eggs when nests are unguarded. authors.elsevier.com/a/1gtp4…

Congratulations to @KatieMiranda_ for defending her honors thesis! You’re an incredible person and taught me so much. She will be heading to Minnedosa, MB to work for @DeltaWaterfowl. Good luck Katie! I know you’ll succeed in whatever you decide to pursue!

Our team captured the first black-bellied whistling-duck of the year today. Like wood ducks, they are nesting ~1 month earlier than usual. Prior this year, the earliest capture we made was on April 22 during my first field season in 2020.

Mosquitos probing through the membrane of a hatching wood duck egg. Has anyone ever seen or read about this before?

It’s almost been 2 months now. Thanksgiving morning Effy passed away. Her intestines twisted for some unknown reason; she died from sepsis following surgery. She really lit up the room and things are sure different without her. Love you pop-pop.
