I finallyyy captured a photo of this incredible female wearing a transmitter (@CellTrackTech) that we deployed a year ago! She took a break from incubating today and gave us an aerial show in ultra high winds 🥹 I love her.

Please.
Folks, seriously.
PLEASE.
Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.

How is sensitivity to altitude affected by evolutionary adaptation?
We studied blood of 77 species of Andean hummingbirds for >15 years to find out.

This is Bowie. He overheard you talking about his rubber ducky jacket. Jealousy is a disease. Hopes you get well soon. 12/10

Did you know that birds will grow to their full size between the time they hatch and when they leave the nest? These are 2 different eagles but shows the massive change in size in a very short time!
See 🧵 for more info
Both eagles were quickly processed and banded, in accordance with all required permits, by trained biologists before being released. They are both wild and part of long term research projects.
Happy #EarthDay2023 from this amazing #PrairieFalcon mama and her fluffy nestlings!

IT’S HAPPENING!!!
Bald Eaglet 23-126 was let out of the baby jail for a full introduction to Murphy yesterday and so far things are going very well! A staff member watched initial interactions through a peep hole to make sure the eaglet was safe. It took Murphy an hour before he
This bird is part of a research study on the movement ecology and foraging behavior of Prairie Falcons in altered landscapes. Her tracker was fitted by trained biologists working under all required permits.
