It was past time to jump ship from this hellsite, so trying life where the sky is bluer. My handle is richardlovesbirds - find me there for occasional lab updates, cool ecology papers and general bird joy.

A record 10 new world warbler species in my pond in middle Georgia today, including the first county Nov records for Yellow-throated and Blackpoll Warblers. Pioneers exploiting novel favorable conditions or discombobulated by a heating planet? Either way a joy to behold up close.

The more studies that come out on neonicotinoids, the more I think that they're our generation's DDT. How much evidence or public outcry will it take to banish them to the history books?

@cenemes It looked exploratory, and it was chased off by a House Finch before it could settle in to feeding. However, after posting this, I heard about a Bay-breasted in Florida doing the same thing. As one of our later migrants it could be a good way to fatten up on cool mornings....

If you're interested in pursuing an MS or PhD using math models to study bird migration, bird-pathogen interactions, bird-feeding, or really anything to do with bird ecology & behaviour, please get in touch!

@BenGFreeman1 I’m all ears! October is peak warblerage in my pond so you’re welcome to come visit!

Inspired by some fun conversations about co-migrations & resident-migrant interactions at #AOS24. thought I'd dust off the old Twitter & share some migrant magic at my pond. First up is Warbling Vireo hating on a House Finch - a new yard bird & my 7th vireo species for the yard!

What a pleasure it was to work with superstar grad student @MeganTomamichel, now a RAISE postdoc fellow at VIMS.
A nasty disease is attacking Georgia shrimp and raising concerns for the fishing industry that relies on them. A recent @UGAEcology Ph.D graduate investigates what contributes to the spread of black gill disease and how to protect coastal fisheries.

We'd love to see more theory students join our grad program! We have a strong contingent of population & disease ecologists here. If you're interested in MS/PhD research developing math models on global chg, animal movement (especially birds!), wildlife disease pls get in touch!
Love numbers? Love ecology? Why choose one? You can do both while earning a graduate degree at the Odum School of Ecology, a leader in quantitative approaches to solving ecological problems. Apply now for grad degrees, including a new non-thesis master’s.

Finishing up a wonderful visit to Lund University to learn about the wonders of bird migration from the experts. While here I got to experience the mind-blowing raptor migration at Falsterbo. Here's one of the hundreds of Sparrowhawks terrorizing the songbirds at the lighthouse.
