A day that started out in rough seas ended with a #ladywatch on the flying bridge with all sorts of sightings! Counting myself lucky to sail with such inspiring women. πŸ’•

2 weeks ago @musick007.bsky.social reported to the NOAA ship Pisces for a 2 year sea tour as the ship's Operations Officer. I'm so proud of him as he moves onto this next big step in his career. And lucky for him, I'm sailing on the Pisces for the next 2 months, so he'll be starting it off right. 😏

The weather forecast is looking a little more colorful than we'd like πŸ˜…, but morale is high getting to sail with old friends again. Fair winds and following seas! πŸŒŠπŸ¬πŸ¦†πŸ‹πŸ’

We'll be sailing for the majority of Jan & Feb aboard the NOAA ship Pisces collecting distribution and abundance data on marine mammals, birds, sea turtles, and any other sea critters we come across.

Every day I'm thankful for the life and love we've built together over the last five years. Marrying you was the best decision I've ever made. Happy Anniversary, @musickman.bsky.social. ❀️

Hot off the presses!

The Connecticut Audubon Society's annual "State of The Birds" publication has recently been released. I'm very thankful to Tom Andersen, CAS' Director of Communications (and the editor of SOTB) for the opportunity to contribute a species account in this year's print.

I abandoned the sinking ship that was the other app, and have officially joined @bsky.app! Photo from my most recent seabird survey to prove it's really me. 😏
