The juxtaposition of having my writing critiqued and then reading literally any Clifford book to my kids is really just too much right now.
The most astounding part of this is the *decision* to forage at 10,000 ft where it feels like prey encounter and the energetic return on investment is unlikely. Or, maybe not.
Amazing evidence of dusk Peregrine attack on a Grey Plover, while the bird was flying at an altitude of 3000 metres (nearly 10,000 feet).

Circling back to this old post as we have a new paper out regarding this topic! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @KevinRingelman @LSUAgCenter @Ecol_Evol
What if you had wood ducks, hooded mergansers, and black-bellied whistling-ducks all laying eggs in each others' nests and you had to try to make sense of it all? New pub here with @DylanDoesDucks journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…
Basically at no point during the day or night for the next three months will it not feel like 95-125 degrees outside
