I've seen so many #birds with mottled coloring on their heads this summer. Magpies, jackdaws, crows and pigeons. Is this normal? Recently I've also seen a few that look like their heads are #moulting. Any #ornithologist/s out there with thoughts?

I signed up for this site last year so it’s about time I actually started using it! A bit of an #introduction. I am an #ornithologist who works on #phylogenetics #taxonomy and #macroevolution. These days mostly with #suboscine birds. I love working with and contributing to citizen/community science databases like #iNaturalist and #eBird. Follow along for wildlife photography and science content!

#Bird Mastodon, I need your help. What bird makes this sound? They (at least two, maybe three) start shouting after sundown, and I really want to know what they are.

For reference, this was recorded today, in Germany

The #greatest #birdartist you’ve never heard of - #RexBrasher #painted more #birds than #Audubon, and he never owned #slaves - this article is a welcome revelation - enjoy https://wapo.st/3oRek38 #birding #birds #conservation #ornithology #ornithologist

Harrison Bruce "Bud" Tordoff (2nd from right) with his ground crew & his P-51, Upupa epops.

Bud was an #ornithologist, later PhD & museum curator, and Upupa epops is the silly-sounding scientific name of the Eurasian hoopoe.

Bud was an aviator ace: 5 confirmed air victories.

Hello Mastodoners,

Evidently we need to keep introducing ourselves here to start building up those networks again.

I am Tim –– #ecologist, #ornithologist, and Associate Professor at #OklahomaStateUniversity and current #President of the #wilsonornithologicalsociety.

I dig #birds, #landscapes, #science #HigherEd #CriticalThinking #SecularHumanism, #mentoring, #DEIJ, etc. Still active as @Seiurus on another site.

My frequent furry sidekick is Nellie.

I will follow you!

Happy #Caturday everyone!! This week's Science Pusheen illustrations features: Electrophysiologist, Ornithologist, Pusheen doing an EVA/Spacewalk and finally - battling the peer-review system! 🔥

Working on a few science cat illustrations for next week, can't wait to share them! 😸

@fazleskhan I've always wanted to play Tigris & Euphrates, Viticulture, & Ars Magica (heard great things about them), but haven't managed it yet. Wingspan is one of my faves though- I get each new expansion as they come out. Being an #ornithologist makes it kind of mandatory though 😆 I have downloaded Ars Magica & need to read through it at some point. I have heard that their rules for magic are exceptional. Never enough time to do everything you want to do!

Plötsligt har det börjat dyka upp en massa rödhakar!

(Could anyone, and yes, looking at you @ACErnehall , tell Gunnar to activate his mastodon account? There is an #ornithologist world here that really appreciates these, I can see that. I’m starting to feel stupid RT ing all his #birdphotos each day … )

Hi Emma,

I'm no #ornithologist, but these little fellows often get caught in car headlights eating carrion on roads.

#OTD Emilie Snethlage, German-Brazilian #Naturalist & #Ornithologist died.

She specialized in #Amazon #Bird #Fauna.

When she was 30, she attended the #University of #Berlin to study #Natural #History under these conditions:

1. Arrive five minutes early to class.
2. Sit quietly behind a screen.
3. Ask no questions
4. After the class has ended, wait 15 minutes and then leave.

My #ornithologist grandpa and uncle would have loved this!

By way of #Introduction, I am an #Academic #Ornithologist, who uses #Genetic and #Genomic tools coupled with #FieldStudies to understand wild organisms. I work with both #Undergraduate and #Masters students to investigate varied questions about #Loons, #Chickadees, #WhireThroatedSparrows, #Giraffes, #Whales, and #Wildebeest. Hopeful to participate in a non-toxic virtual community of challenging but considerate folks. Cheers!

#introduction

I'm a behavioural ecologist and (mostly) #ornithologist and fascinated by animal societies: how does being social change the way individuals experience their environment, and how do groups of individuals solve the challenges that come from being social?

My major project is the fascinating #vulturineguineafowl, but I also collaborate on other fascinating systems, including primates and dolphins.

I'm presently splitting my time between Uni Zurich and the Australian National Uni.

Would love to populate my mstdn with more #ornithologist #birder #birdphotography #ornithology so here is a picture of a blue jay

Do I know anyone who is into bird watching? My wife found this in Oregon. Is this a feather from a red-shafted flicker? We've never seen one around here before. #ornithologist #birdwatching #ornithology
