America’s most-hated native bird is (in my experience) the brown-headed cowbird. But did you know that, before it was a “cowbird” it was a “buffalo bird” — a species with a deep and ancient symbiosis with the American bison??? #bird #birds #wildlife #bison #buffalo

“Restoring old-growth characteristics” is a newer practice within the practice of “ecological forestry” — and now it’s basically all I do! I wish there was enough characters here to say so much more! Happy to answer any questions you have. #forest #forestry #restoration #nature #ecology #love

Ripping through some turkey facts! Did you know that turkeys are capable of “parthenogenesis?” Or that they have a color-changing “wattle,” “snood” and “caruncles???” #turkey #bird #birds #wildlife #animal #animals #nature #science #stem

Name that nearly-extinct bird! The now-ubiquitous wild turkey was 100 years ago reduced to perhaps 0.3% of its pre-colonial abundance. Here’s how and why! #bird #birds #turkey #nature #wildlife #science #biology #history #naturalhistory
