1/🧵 Today I’m at #BOUasm26, engaging with colleagues on predicting the future of #avian #biodiversity. Recently in my own work I asked, how do we predict the movements of #birds in the world’s ever-growing cities? #ornithology

#BOUasm26 MJE1/6 To me, an amateur in #ornithology, recent #citizenscience data seems to scream out #climatechange — e.g. migrant first-arrival advancement I studied when compiling county bird reports. Advancement, yes, but it’s not keeping pace with spring #phenology at the breeding grounds.
