Insights from #longtermstudies, #wildliferesearch. Farewell GBB. Our oldest #purplecrowned #fairwren female is now 14, the oldest male is 15.5!

Earlier this season we said goodbye to GBB. Born in 2014, she was one of the oldest and most productive females in our population:
35 nests, 80 eggs, 47 chicks fledged, 35 reached independence, 24 grandkids. This female below has now taken over her territory. Big 🐾 to fill!
