We have a new paper out this week that further advances our method of using web-sourced photos to examine #raptor #diet. Led by @ConnorEcology this time we use this approach to assess the diet of Crested Caracaras at a continental scale: #ornithology

I was worried about leaving here - as I had built up 6000 followers over the last decade. But, I've been on BlueSky for only 11 days now and already have >450 followers & I've established a #RaptorResearch feed - 'feeds' are a game changer. So please don't delay - come on over!

It does seem to be growing by the day. Bluesky adds 700,000 new members as users flee X after the US election

I had built up a good following on Twitter (ca. 6000). so I am sorry to be moving away, but I'm pleased to say that my followers on bluesky are rising rapidly - I'm already at 105 on only my 2nd day. And lots of the folk (+journals) that I like on Twitter are there. come join us!

Science Twitter was great - but over the last few years it went downhill rapidly, and now using Twitter just feels a bit wrong with the events of the week. I went over to BlueSky yesterday and I have to say it has everything that twitter has without that 'unclean' feeling! join!

The events this week in the US have made me feel pretty low. So, I've decided to make one very small change myself and move away from Twitter and onto - so please find me there @arjundevamar.bsky.social. It was very easy by the way!
