~50% of all birds migrating will pass through on only ~9 nights in the season. Tonight will be one of those MEGA migration nights. Please turn off lights to help the birds go along their merry way. Have paper bags ready to contain injured birds, and call us for help! 773-988-1867

It's #FieldFriday! Today we head to our Mountain Lake Biological Station (MLBS) site in Domain 07 to collect data on small mammals ("smams"). Sarah Szito and Dylan Peters document more than 40 smams before releasing them and doing it all again the next day! 📸credit: Lark Heston

Can you spare a few hours one morning a week to help us rescue birds? CBCM is having hands-on volunteer training sessions the mornings of September 10, 11, 17, and 18. We will also have evening trainings on September 22 and 26. Call 773-456-2473 to register.

Watch the video in the linked article to see me in action volunteering for @BirdMonitors! Remember to turn out lights overnight and watch for injured birds where you live and work! 🐤

Thanks to @cbschicago for joining us yesterday morning to witness and share the work we do. The more attention this issue gets, the more we can pressure the city to act. cbsnews.com/chicago/news/vol…

Volunteers embark on daily searches in Chicago for injured, dead birds

They find warblers, thrush and other species that are just trying to pass through our area to get to hotter places like South America.

Tonight should be a big night for warbler migration. Warblers are common collision victims, and such tiny birbs need us big folk to look out for them. Please watch where you step tomorrow morning, move any stunned birds to safety, and call our hotline (773-988-1867) for help!

The floodgates are opening. The next 3 nights will see the biggest migration movement of the season so far in Chicago. Millions of birds will fly through Cook County, including warblers, who are frequent collision victims. Call us at 773-988-1867 if you find a bird in need.

Last week the Skokie Planning Commission was unwilling to take a stand against the insufficient bird-strike mitigation Carvana offered for their proposed glass tower across from Harms Woods. Keep sending you objections to this project to publiccomments@skokie.org.

This Song Sparrow will not sing again. This lovely bird and millions of others are flying over the Chicago area for their annual autumn migration. Tens of thousands of them will fall victim to collisions with glass as they pass through our urban area.

Busy day volunteering with @BirdMonitors today. I rescued ~15 birds and recovered ~20 dead birds, like this Yellow-bellied sapsucker. During spring & fall migration, turn lights out to help reduce injuries and deaths from window strikes. #birdcollisions – at Chicago, IL

Hi all, I’m Teddy! I’ll be presenting on how conifer reproduction in the boreal will be impacted by future climate change. Our research is conducted @ORNL SPRUCE Experiment which manipulates temperature and CO2 to study effects on boreal ecosystems 🌲#CSEE2021 #CSEE2021Tweets 1/5

We hypothesize that small mammals may also have an ecological dipole in North America. We are using >100 records from a small mammal database and @NEON_sci small mammal box trapping data to analyze the synchrony between E and W mammal locations. #CSEE2021 #CSEE2021Tweets (4/5)

Exploratory graphs of summer deer mouse trends using database records show some characteristic patterns of ecological dipoles. Spatial correlograms will determine what drives these patterns and whether they can be classified as ecological dipoles! #CSEE2021 #CSEE2021Tweets (5/5)
