John McCormack: insights from the Mexican Bird Resurvey Project #BOUasm #ornithology
Cassie Stoddard'a talk was really insightful and colorful:
"sure, we're living exciting times to study the genome, but also to study the phenome, the birds' phenotypes using collections"

“From specimens to solutions: the evolving role and current challenges of natural history collections” Great keynote talk from Alex Bond @thelabandfield.bsky.social - I was impressed hearing about the mummy birds 😮

Every semester, five professors and museum curators take 35 students to a 12-day long field trip to survey all kinds of animals.
My group today enjoyed a stunning cave with the one and only Steatornis caripensis, the oilbird!

My student Vanessa Perez is analyzing hundreds of photos of the Barred Fruiteater. If you have some, you can help her fill some geographic gaps. A cool story is unwrapping ⛰️🪶 Please share! #birds #ornithology #speciation #andes

Thanks to the extension, my master’s student Camilo Váquiro was able to polish one of his chapters to submit a ms on phenotypic shifts in Andean birds over 60 years of climate and landscape change—using historical and modern specimens from our National Bird Collection 🇨🇴 @irorotanshi.bsky.social

about today: Atalotriccus
A really special pigmy-tyrant of the seasonally-flooded forests and scrub of the Eastern llanos of Colombia, Orinoco basin.
Its 4 outer flight feathers are extremely reduced for mechanical sounds, maybe not so good for aerodynamic efficiency #ornithology #evolution #birds
