A short paper with a simple takeaway, but one I'm really proud of!

Our new paper is out in @jzoology.bsky.social! Turning trade-offs: hummingbird power reserves are used to decrease turning radius or increase turning velocity. 🪶🌍

We banded these fluffballs a few days ago. Here is hoping for a few more weeks in the nest and then three successful fledglings. #UWGB #falcons 🪶

Oop, and the first pelicans of the year have arrived as well.

Office window birding is going-off today. Notable sightings include a bald eagle, the resident peregrines, cooper's hawk, a kettle of migrating turkey vultures, a handful of turkeys, and some very spooked pigeons.

Dinosaurs are still alive. Today, we call them birds Birds don’t look like the scaly giants of Jurassic World. But fossils are revealing how these modern-day dinosaurs descended from ancient reptiles.

🚨 It's finally here! 🚨 I’m excited to share my latest for @snexplores.bsky.social.

1.5 years in the making, this feature dives into the discoveries that helped show why birds are our last remaining dinosaurs. Twiggy the Barred Owl & I are sure you'll learn a thing or two about birds! 🦉

Late winter Lake Michigan hike. Not really #backcountry, (more like sidecountry) but I do want this to get picked up by my customized Outdoor Adventure feed.

Climate Change - NASA Science NASA is a global leader in studying Earth’s changing climate.

The NASA climate change site is a fantastic resource for the general public, from a trusted source. I use it in a lot of my classes. I'd imagine it will be taken down soon. Are there any archives of this site? Any comparable sites from other trusted sources? 🧪🌍

To clear loops, Sonic the Hedgehog must hit the right speed Most animals don’t run through loops. Sonic would need the physics behind roller coasters and race cars to clear one.

As a lifelong Sonic fan, I had loads of fun writing this for @snexplores.bsky.social's 'Technically Fiction' series! Many thanks to @paolosegre.bsky.social and Dr. Hassanalian for their insights.
