Our #CitizenScience study reveals bird collision risks across China—65,633 survey building*days, 3,078 buildings, & 1,000 volunteers. Key finding: Light & vegetation impact vary by season/scale. Huge thanks to partners & volunteers! @LossLabOSU sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

With thanks to @LossLabOSU for the heavy lifting to organize and set up, we got to do that cool thing this week that the #students will never, ever forget. [mist-netting and #banding of wild #birds conducted through multiple layers of authorization] #OKState
Two white guys standing in front of a card table that is crowded with bird banding supplies. One guy is holding a bird and the other is pointing to a datasheet on which measurements from the bird will be entered. Judging from their hats, the guy with the bird has been to Ireland at some point, and the tall guy is a Milwaukee Brewers fan. Photo by Clay Billman.

Photo by Clay Billman. Against a backdrop of smartweed, a Gray Catbird hangs in the pocket of a fine, mesh net used for catching wild birds. The catbird is dark, slaty gray with black cap, bill, eyes, and legs. It is upside-down and the rusty undertail coverts are visible.

Welcome to OSU @n_a_gilbert!! And here's a good story. We had our first meet-up to talk shop planned for today. Instead, we found and chased a Bronzed Cowbird (the first record for eastern Oklahoma - pics below) & still managed to talk some shop in the meantime!

Stillwater, Oklahoma tornado today. Luckily it didn't touch down until the storm had moved to the north over rural areas. @sara_loss got this pic of the tornado after we emerged from shelter and as it moved safely away from town

A new study suggests the time plants turn green is coming earlier in the spring than past averages - but migratory birds are not following suit. @LossLabOSU's Scott Loss & Ellen Robertson discuss causes and potential consequences with @NakedScientists ⬇️ okla.st/3IKpjlD

Birds finding it hard to adjust to shifting springtime

Climate change is having a negative impact on some migratory birds...

Hundreds or more migratory birds like orioles, hummingbirds, Painted Buntings, tanagers, warblers & our state bird Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, will die each year colliding with this building. There are ways to avoid this @MattesonCapital @cityofokc @_Bricktown @oklahoma @ABCbirds

We had a "Little Sit" get together for our lab group this morning (like a mini version of a "Big Sit, which is an all day bird count at one location). It was cold but fun and fueled by donuts and @SMBC bird-friendly coffee!

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/pnas.23…

We have an open postdoc position in our lab in collaboration with @CDuchardt lab - focusing on questions around wind energy, CRP, and big data on birds. In person or remote work are both a possibility for this one. Please distribute! ornithologyexchange.org/jobs…

If this looks familiar, we had a similar opening around a year ago, but the incumbent postdoc landed a great federal gig. In fact, our labs have recently been a great springboard/pipeline for postdocs into permanent federal science & policy positions!
