I don’t know why I always forget about BlueSky, but this recording from April is one of my favorite podcast episodes I have ever recorded - if you want to be wowed by guano and tickled by misidentification stories, look no further.
New podcast episode!
In this episode, Jody Allair, Gabriel Foley, and Jennie Duberstein join host Nate Swick for a conversation on recent research on the diverse and often surprising ways that birds influence humans, both individually and as societies.

Turns out prairie dogs are even MORE important than we previously realized for supporting healthy grassland communities. All it took was an RC taxidermied badger to find out. (Read the thread to see a picture of said wonder).
So excited to share this paper, lead-authored by newly-minted Dr. Andrew Dreelin from my lab and @andyjboyce.bsky.social's with you all! 🧪
There's this paradox about prairie dog towns - many birds seem to love them, but they attract a lot of predators.

I’m reading the Joe Taylor biography and am enjoying figuring out old bird names, such as Man O’ War bird (Magnificent Frigatebird) and Darby Flycatcher (Great Kiskadee). Figuring out “New Mexican Duck” sent me to the 1946 archives of The Auk. Bird names change. People adapt. #BirdNamesForBirds

My Duolingo Yiddish has progressed enough that this morning I was able to ask the feral cat in my back yard, “Do you come here often, my cat?” (She meowed at me in response.)
