Hello Everyone! I'm a nature nerd, photographer, artist and graduate student from the midwest who is obsessed with pretty much anything animal or nature related. Enjoy the random animal memes, Jujube the vulture content, and scientific studies I'll probably share 🤣
Struggling with grad school...my advisor wants a road map for proposal to thesis in 2yrs. I barely know what im eating for breakfast tomorrow... 😩 I just dont want to disappoint her. I always feel too stupid to be a graduate student and it seems like as days go it just proves true #masters #lost

Thanks to @dmennill.bsky.social & dozens of other fantastic colleagues, the International Master of Bioacoustics MOBI at the Univ of St-Etienne is a very unique training program (and so cheap compared to overseas - 1400 € for the whole year!). Info here: www.masterofbioacoustics.com

In her review, Laura Stidsholt @bioacousticsau.bsky.social discusses how bat-borne acoustic devices are changing echolocation research in wild #bats by recording sensory & foraging behaviour across different species, habitats & levels of disturbance

Trying to decide if I should enter these Egyptian flying foxes into the local photography competition... I hate judging my own shots.

Last day of the academic year, first day of placing ARUs to record bat activity in new locations. Could be worse things to do on a Friday even if it did involve driving 6hrs.

Is it normal for anyone else to show their grad advisor class projects and feel giddy when they seem to appreciate the work? ...is this a thing people do? Help a first gen student avoid being awkward lol

It feels weird to be excluded from something right in front of my face and be the only one in a large group who was, not that anyone noticed. At times, I actually think that maybe I fit in, but clearly, Im more or less on my own. Never realized that didn't end in grade school.

You can now upload soundscapes to eBird! Upload your wetland ambiances full of birdsong.
@xeno-canto.bsky.social has supported this since 2013 — now eBird joins in.
It’s a great way to capture the acoustic atmosphere. Valuable for researchers. When does @observation.org join? #bioacoustics #bird

Hey #bioacoustics folks this is a cool study!
New paper out from our lab today!
@evolsara.bsky.social shows that harriers have expanded their auditory nuclei in a similar way to owls to enable them to calculate the position of prey by sound.

Its early for #featheredfriday but I was so excited to find out I got a lifer today! I noticed a few warblers fluttering around near the ground in the invasive honeysuckle, they turned out to be palm warblers from what other birders have told me.

I feel obligated to share this photo I took today because, well, look at it. How could a sleepy barred owl sitting in a blooming magnolia tree on a sunny spring day not bring you some joy?
