Congratulations to @natingui.bsky.social who presented our collaborative wren and owl study at #AOS2025. Way to go Natalie!
Grateful for the opportunity to present my postdoctoral research in the Mennill Lab at #AOS2025 on vocal behaviours of Rufous-and-white wrens in the presence of an owl predator near and far from the nest.

It was wonderful to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. 🐦🎶🦉

Met a lot of great people and saw a lot of great science at #AOS2025 ... and now I'm off to Barcelona for #ESEB2025 !

Great to see great science and reconnect with old friends and colleagues. And a fantastic Latin American representation at the conference.
Had the chance to present my most recent publication in representation of my wonderful coauthors @cdanielcadena.bsky.social @selvaorgco.bsky.social

How do Rufous-and-white Wrens respond when this 3D-printed owl is presented near versus far from their nest? Find out in Dr. Natalie Sanchez' talk "Singing in the face of danger" today at 16:00 in Grand Ballroom A at #AOS2025. 🦉🇨🇷🎶 @natingui.bsky.social @gdfcf.bsky.social @lincolnsavi.bsky.social

This afternoon at #AOS2025 my collaborators deliver duelling talks at 15:45:
- Justin Kitzes @kitzeslab.bsky.social will present our horizon scan of bioacoustics.
- Will Anderson will present his dissertation research on Northern House Wrens.
Good luck Justin and Will. I'll be clapping from Canada!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster to talk to me at #AOS2025 last night! If you're interested in learning a bit about the taxonomy of Conirostrum binghami (Aka, Giant Conebill, aka the world's coolest bird), my poster will be up until Friday at board 16

Feeling lots of FOMO right now about missing all my ornithology peeps at #AOS2025. 3 of my current/former lab sent me this photo… miss them and hearing about their science so much!

Tomorrow I’ll be speaking at #AOS2025 about individual plasticity in breeding timing in mountain chickadees using 12 years of data on individually marked birds! Find me in the Behavioral Responses to Climate session at 4:15PM. Come for the baby bird pictures, leave with knowledge about plasticity!

One of my favorite conference traditions is the #AOS2025 5K run. I hope to be running it decades from now.

Also if you see me and it looks like I’m dying, don’t worry. That’s just how I look after a 5K. I’ll be fine.

A new-to-me professional joy this meeting is seeing my grad school friends’ students give great talks & posters about their research. It’s so much fun to meet my friends’ mentees & learn about the work my friends are advising. #AOS2025

Bid now at the American Ornithological Society silent auction: "LEK" a resource management board game based on lance-tailed manakin behavior and breeding biology. For people who love "Catan" but wish it had more bird sex. Proceeds benefit student research. Created by the amazing EW Schunke. #AOS2025

Excited for the first day of presentations at #AOS2025. Looking forward to hearing about all the great science that's happening!

Finally have an excuse to add the Saint Louis Zoo to the map! #AOS2025

Like birds? Hate ecotoxins? If you answered yes, you may be interested in my #AOS2025 poster! Come find me during Wednesday’s poster session at poster #184.

Life is tough. At high altitudes, it’s even tougher. Think rugged mountains, changing climate, and low oxygen.
So how do birds pull it off? 🐦⛰️
Join me tomorrow, Aug 12, 2:15–2:30, Genomics 1, Grand F at #AOS2025 to find out!

Good birding this morning with friends visiting all the way from Nepal.
Showed off cardinals, flickers… and even a Mississippi Kite! @thebirdguy.bsky.social #AOS2025

5/Finally, on Friday at #AOS2025, in Grand Ballroom B at 3:45, I will be standing in for Julián García-Walther to talk about his research on the effects of sea level rise on the waterbird community of NW Mexico. His work combines detailed oceanographic modeling and fine-scale bird tracking data.
