New paper alert: making use of 40 years of measurements of POPs and mercury in eggs of oystercatchers and terns breeding in the Wadden Sea, we investigated whether pollutant levels differed between the two species and 17 sampling locations, and how they changed over time: doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

No one tells you how confusing it is to be a biology student who studies birds and also a fan of New York based indie rock band Geese.

Just to be super clear, if you’re phoning in your peer review to ai you should quit your job so someone else who actually likes science can have it.

If you liked the (excellent) bird migration piece in The Guardian today, I suspect you'll ❤️ spending some time with Audubon's Bird Migration Explorer, which is a full-on interactive data masterpiece:

The Bird Migration Explorer is your guide to the heroic annual journeys made by over 450 bird species, and the challenges they face along the way.

SHOUT OUT MOFS FOR WINNING THE NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY!!! MOFs have been my side hustle (lol) throughout my undergrad and I’m so happy to see them getting recognition. Huge day for MOF enthusiasts

When you see a headline that makes a claim that sounds absolutely bananas & cites some “study”, don’t just believe it because the headline used one science word. Look at the source. Was it even peer reviewed? Where? What are experts in the field saying about it? If it sounds ridiculous it might be.

Also just a reminder for ppl who follow me here from Twitter, I post my science-adjacent things here and save all my sports themed shenanigans for my Twitter! (I’m @zoey_wav there!!)

"The greatest danger to our future is apathy. ... What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." - Vale Jane Goodall (1934-2025).

Now seems like an appropriate time to say that the Jane Goodall talk I went to three years ago was hands down the best concert I’ve ever been to. What an absolute icon

Polymorphism: my latest Birdword comic for Cornell Lab. www.allaboutbirds.org/news/birdwor...

A three panel comic. In panel 1, there's a torn piece of paper with a definition: Polymorphism: noun. When one species contains two or more types of individuals (morphs) that differ by color or other physical characteristics unrelated to sex, age, locality, or season. In panel 2, there are red-tailed hawk morphs (calurus subspecies): light, dark, and intermediate. Note: these fall on a spectrum. In panel 3, there are red-tailed hawk morphs that I wish existed: blue-footed, red-winged, pileated (with a woodpecker head), bioluminescent, pocket-sized, vulturine (with a bare head) and resplendent (with green quetzal feathers and a very long tail).

I did a project on these little guys in grade 6 and have been obsessed with them ever since! So glad that conservation efforts are going well!

In recent Zoey lore, I’ve decided that 22 is the PERFECT age to learn to play hockey. Highly recommend starting a new sport and being absolutely abysmal at it. Most fun I’ve had in months!

Highlight of 2024 was seeing my first black crowned night heron in Montreal of all places and shrieking like I saw a celebrity ✨

We humbly interrupt your scroll to bring you the news that Wisdom—the world's oldest known wild bird—is breeding again, age 74. Go on girl. 😍

A screenshot of a social media post from USFWSPacific that reads:

"SHE DID IT AGAIN!

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, is back with a new partner and just laid yet another egg.

At an approximate age of 74, the queen of seabirds returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge last week and began interacting with a male."

This tweet is paired with an image of two Laysan Albatrosses at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Wisdom, the oldest known wild bird, is shown alongside her new partner, demonstrating her enduring legacy as a remarkable seabird.

Little song sparrow almost flew straight into me today. Guess I have to get those bird safe window decals for my glasses 🤧🤧

I think Cornell’s birds of the world database should be open access all the time ✨😘
