Or orientation of ring. It doesn't really matter!! I'd rather not twist my neck reading the ring in the hand than read 1/1000000 metal rings on a passerine with a scope

Awesome! Just a heads up, at the beginning of the Taxonomic Complex part the scientific name is written as Curraca instead of Curruca.

New story on the Avian Hybrids blog! Isolation-by-Distance or Isolation-by-Environment in the Horned Lark? avianhybrids.wordpress.com/2026/07/15/i... Based on the Molecular Ecology study by Subir Shakya and his colleagues | #ornithology

Isolation-by-Distance or Isolation-by-Environment in the Horned Lark?

The answer depends on the genomic region.

Striking differences in the alpine community of the Alps to the Carpathians I am used to. Privileged to be able to spend 2+ months and immerse into its ecology.

Hello Sean! I've thoroughly enjoyed reading the paper and the ENC seems like the answear to some questions i have about bird distributions. I will email you as soon as I can get my ideas together :)

Its helpful when down South friends (@tomgibo.bsky.social) visit North Wales, they manage to find cool things like this wood warbler nest! I had to visit myself and was amazed how close it was to a busy path, parents feeding the 5 chicks well still @rspbcymru.bsky.social @northwaleswt.bsky.social

Congrats Pablo! Great figures. I might have seen the bird passing through Romania :)

Woodpecker monitoring today in an Oak forest near Sibiu, Romania. 22 GSP, 12 MSP, 3 LSP and 5 Black within a 2x2 km square. In one point count all 4 species were drumming and calling!

'Tis the season for laconic evening Blackbird song drifting over the village gardens. One of the finest pleasures. Sound up.

The song of a Blackbird, with a background Robin will forever be the perfect duo. Moments worth appreciating.

Ordinary Extraordinary Junco Highly recommend this 8 part series, for anybody who doesn't already know it. Very inspiring work! (Altough full film is restricted, the separated episodes are free) dcmp.org/series/278-o...

Ordinary Extraordinary Junco

Juncos are common backyard birds, but years of research has revealed their diversity as well as new discoveries related to migration, hormones, evolution, and ecology. Each chapter in the documentary...

Why is there such variation in the birds encountered as you go up or down a mountain? New paper in #ScienceAdvances examines how climate and ecological interactions drive bird distributions in mountains throughout the year: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/10 ⬇️

Climate, ecological dynamics, and the seasonal distribution of birds in mountains

Ecological dynamics related to energy use and competition drives the seasonal distribution of birds in mountains across the world.

Finally got to witness a big gathering of Bramblings! Here around 15000! Before the video i saw them as a flow of 50 per second, for 5 minutes. Turn on sound!

Awesome, might message you in the future if we eventually do decide to start our own project. Good luck with the Accentors!

Are this loggers accurate enough to detect altitudinal migartion over short distances? I'm interested in doing something similar with resident breeding Mountain horned lark in Romania, since we don't really know where most of the population overwinters.
