Back from the holidays with a splash, the latest episode of Fieldnotes is out. We think you'll find this episode all about seabirds is well worth the wait. Ariel-Micaiah Heswall shed light on why our city lights make rough nights for seabirds. Listen now on Spotify open.spotify.com/episode/3k85...

Olfactory and visual acuity differences between seabirds may make some families more susceptible to plastic ingestion than others, hypothesises @kamyabio.bsky.social. Shags were most likely to have ingested microplastics. #AOC2023

Last weekend, I saw a kiwi in the wild for the first time!! Crazy considering 1) I am a kiwi 2) I am an #ecologist 3) I STUDY BIRDS I am truly grateful for how far kiwi conservation has come, but I'm wondering how many kiwis (people) go their whole lives without ever seeing a kiwi (bird).
