Short-lived #songbirds use active movement and #foragingBehaviors to increase #foodIntake which facilitates fast life history strategies. Long-lived species have slow, risk-averse #movement lifestyles which fit with the reduced food needs of slow #lifeHistoryStrategies.

Hyper-focused on drawing birds in my free time lately. Here’s my latest two - a female Northern Cardinal and Western Meadowlark. #birds #illustration #procreate #songbirds #ArtOfMastodon

Hard to overestimate the value of an ocean getaway for recharging the spirit and adjusting your mood. So many meadow #songbirds, hawks, vultures, harbor seals, even a few whales. Thank you, #MotherEarth, for your gifts.
Super cool capture from the #birdbuddy camera today. I ordered an extra solar panel from Amazon after reading about others’ experience in the Bird Buddy Facebook Group and the camera is doing much better with holding a charge now.

#introduction
I’m a #queer, #trans #ecologist and #artist and current PhD student at U. Toledo studying how #dryland #songbirds are responding to climate change (particularly the post-fledging stage during #drought). 🐦🌵🏜
I also use my science as a springboard for my #art practice — learn more at https://www.sefischer.com

Trying out Mastodon for the first time. I am a #biologist at #ulethbridge interested in #birds and their #brains. Our lab works mainly with #grouse, #hawks and #pigeons, but also work with other labs on #parrots, #woodpeckers and #songbirds. I also have interests in #paleontology of #birds, #evolution of brains and #animalbehavior, and #domestication. I often post about my #labrador and #munsterlander, #birding and #hiking.
