HWC seminar’s first presentation by Dr. Jinelle Sperry, a professor at UIUC, will be on Wednesday, March 24th at 4:00 PM CT. She will be giving a talk-Predators, parasites, and invasive species: how research focused on antagonists can aid in conservation of endangered species.
Great job this morning, @skwinnicki ! Such a cool project! #AnimBehav2021
Maternal investment in developing birds is often measured at egg-laying and paired with analyses of different-sized hatchlings, but this ignores an important in-between step: how do the developing embryos respond to and mediate early maternal effects? #AnimBehav2021 @GrowBirdGrow
ALT Bright blue robin eggs of different sizes on the nest paired with a picture of two nestlings in a researcher’s hand—they are ugly, small, and pink with fluffy downy feathers. One is about two-thirds the size of the other. There’s a caption to the photos: considerable variation in egg and nestling size is common! Is this variation related?
Congratulations on the publication, @cowbirdlab and @skwinnicki!

Hi everyone! Today at 2:20 CST I'll be posting about a cool new finding from the @cowbirdlab on mental time travel in Yellow Warblers! Specifically how Yellow Warblers modify their future antiparasitic behavior (nest sitting) after exposure to a cowbird warning! #AnimBehav2021
What a cool study on chickens! Really enjoying the very first Animal Behavior Twitter Conference! #AnimBehav2021
1/ Why do we care if farm animals are intelligent? Is it important if we are breeding or housing them in ways that impairs their intelligence? I’m often asked, “Aren’t farm animals *not* intelligent, so they don’t miss challenges.” #AnimBehav2021

Thanks to all my lab members this year, too, for all the science we got done: @JaniceEnos2, @alec_luro, @Bird_Sock, @Hannah_Scharf_, @NickAntonson, @skwinnicki, @_saveelephants
et al.; a happy and healthy 2021 to everyone!
Our review made it into Ecology and Evolution! Great work team, especially lead author @v_l_bux!
This week's banding report: Veeries and Swainson's Thrushes dominated the records (#thrushhour a thing yet?) Caught a couple Canada Warblers amongst several Magnolias! #migration #illinoisbirds #inhs
It's #migration season! Socially distanced and small group this season at our Midwestern Migratory Network banding station in central IL. Several Grey Catbirds and a few warblers, including an Ovenbird! We are all permitted, trained and IACUC approved.

T-3 min! #NAOC2020
T-1 hr until our LGBTQIA+ & Ally #NAOC2020 social (4pm EST)! Come ready to have fun, meet wonderful new people, and to discuss #queer issues in #ornithology. We will end with playing trivia - and the winner will get one of our t-shirts!
Very cool predation risk talk to look forward to!

Great talk today, Todd! Representing @IllinoisNRES at #NAOC2020 !

It's #NAOC2020! Come see @Bird_Sock present on whether bachelor males value information about nest threats!
If you have time, please come check out my talk on yellow warblers, and how pairing status influences how males respond to different playbacks, particularly those that signal a threat to their nest success. I'll be in the Brood Parasite session on Aug 13th 2:15pm EST! #NAOC2020
Platforms made and traps assembled to catch some postbreeding season blackbirds for research! (USGS-permitted and IACUC-approved, of course!)
Great to see the NAOC 2020 All-out Ostrch Scramble is going virtual this year! Virtual Fun Run 2020 naocbirds.org/2020/07/23/nao… via @NAOCbirds
