Four fires in the region totalling almost 1/2 million acres. We haven't managed to get access to the fire polygons yet, but squinting at the maps available (and my time in the field last week) suggest much of it was prime sagebrush habitat.
Cattle and sheep ranchers in the area are struggling after flames destroyed fencing, water infrastructure and feed. It will take time to assess the true scope of the disaster, and recovery is expected to take years. wyofile.com/house-draw-fire-…

The destructive fires could have grave consequences for wildlife, including the burning of "best of the best" habitat for the already imperiled sage grouse.
But biologists see possible benefits for other wildlife. wyofile.com/wildfires-blacke…

I'm giving a public talk at local bottle shop next week. I'll talk about some of our research on sandhill cranes in Ontario and share some stories from over two decades of field work chasing animals around the continent. Great beverages and cool animals all in the same place.

Valentine's tip from the Greater Sage-Grouse: If your dance moves involve chest puffing, tail feather fanning, and strange balloon-burp noises, you might just impress your Valentine enough to gather a crowd and win their heart 🕺 #ValentinesDay 💕

I love doing field work. It is one of my favourite parts of the job. I love training students in the field.... But the admin burden is exhausting. I reflect in a @ers_uw blog. Field work. Is it worth it?

Who doesn't love spatial model predictions? Beautiful and informative. Here is our latest from our research on ducks in the boreal forest. tinyurl.com/3ejpz462. Excellent work by the Twitterless Ryan Johnstone with @DysonWildlife @ducanada. @ers_uw @envwaterloo

I don't understand. We have software such as ChatGPT can basically write a cohesive essay on anything - reliably impersonating human logic, reason, and problem solving - but if I try move a figure in Microsoft Word, all the formatting in the document goes to s*! .
