Emily Williams

So proud and in admiration of my friend @manuelsalgado.bsky.social for being a huge part in making something so important and transformative! Please share and contribute, as @weact4ej.bsky.social & @greenlatinos.org want this to be a living document, where others share their stories.

Pls share: I'm seeking ornithologists willing to comment about how the Bird Banding Lab &/or Breeding Bird Survey are crucial to their research & conservation efforts, for a piece for @therevelator.org defending these programs. Reply, DM, or email me at rebecca dot heisman at gmail. #ornithology

I expect you probably have enough folks to chat with, but happy to share how crucial the BBL/BBS has been to my own work if you need another!

Hope you'll come listen to these smart folks who graciously allow me to hang around them! #agu24

What Trump’s second administration could mean for environmental justice President Joe Biden promised to devote 40 percent of money dedicated to cutting pollution to poor, often non-White areas. The program could be cut under Trump.

Wish my first quote in the Post was in better circumstances, but it is important for people to understand what is coming so that environmental justice and community organizations are supported when they need it: financially, legally, and otherwise. wapo.st/3Dgyyu0

Tried to find Emily under her handle from the old site, forgot she’s got a new one here: @emilystudiesbirds.bsky.social

Here’s an episode where she talks about her work: bsky.app/profile/abab...

Thanks for the shoutout! :)

I’m never online anymore but sharing that I got to see @edyong209.bsky.social tonight is definitely worth posting about - what a joy to hear him talk about animal sensory worlds & how learning more about them has influenced his own! 🦉🪶🧪

many thanks to my friend Brynn Heckrote who designed all the images & collab'd with me on the lyrics (sung by me)

I hope you go forth today with all the #Robinergy in the world 🤩
🦉🧪

lyrics, sung to the tune of "I'm just Ken" in Barbie:
I'm just Robin, anywhere else I'd not be so common
is it my destiny to live & die a life of anonymity?
I'm just Robin, where they see warblers, & I'm just sobbin' what it will take for them to see the bird behind the turd
& fight for me? 🦉🧪

The above is a link to my twitter post about it because bluesky still doesn't allow videos. please make sure to turn your sound on while you watch the video! 🦉🧪

This episode made the rounds again & I had a number of folks reach out asking Qs - @n8swick.bsky.social can verify, but I think this episode was recorded sometime in late 2021 - before I really had any data. 3 years later I have a lot more to share. 🦉🧪 con'd

🪶🦉Since Bluesky still doesn’t allow videos, I’m sharing a URL to my Twitter post featuring a video that I made to go along with my PSA. Hope you enjoy: twitter.com/wayfaringwil...

With spring migration right around the corner, the thought of the return of those colorful warblers dazzling you, please remember to appreciate your backyard birds.

I couldn’t agree more!

Hey POTUS, the birds I study couldn’t be more American - these GPS-tagged American Robins have chosen to visit President’s Park bc they would very much like to discuss how we can be more #birdfriendly . Can we please consider #climatechange policies? #science #birds 🪶🧪

Off to get bbq and Mississippi mud pie, no doubt

Me, basically every day looking at my tracking data:

#sillyrobins #ornithology 🪶🐦

Funny you should post this, because I just made a meme about this:

Does anyone know whether free (or covered by insurance) PCR testing for covid is still available? Doesn’t look like CVS offers it anymore, & Walgreens doesn’t take my insurance. Any ideas welcome! #covid #covid19

A gray bird with an orange breast sits in a shallow stream, its feathers poofed out so that the bird looks extremely wide. It faces the camera with an extremely grumpy expression

I don't know which makes me laugh harder, the amount of water an American Robin can soak up during a bath or the gloriously grumpy looking expression on this one.

was able to find someone to take a photo of my Fire Island robin today:

and another robin that clearly had a hankering for a hot dog: #motus #ornithoogy #birds 🧪🦉

this female was originally banded at a property in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada. Now this American Robin is being a beach babe on Long Island! #ornithology 🧪🦉

Those who have been following along w/ my robin research have heard me say that robins have capitalized on basically every non-aquatic habitat within North America. Let me present to you today, the Coastal Robin, hanging out in a tiny spit of land on Fire Island, NY. #ornithology 🦉🧪

I love all of your art and your room looks fantastic 😍

ended up doing another interview abt #birdnames, this time w/ Spectrum News. You don't need spectrum login details-you can click "ask later" & watch the video. check the link 👇

laden w/ wires & a microphone &interviews us right there on the spot, as we're multitasking w/ nets & poles in our hands. I can't promise I was totally coherent but I don't think the recording sounds half bad! link is here: tinyurl.com/canadarobins
give it a listen! 🧪🦉
