PhD in phalaropology (although my degree says biology for some reason). Also a fan of non-phalarope birds.

Glass railings = dead birds. It’s that simple. For birds’ sake, stop installing these! Or only use glass with bird-safe markings. No one will notice or care that your railings have small markings (except the many migratory birds who won’t die pointlessly). @IronsideNewark

Since @FLAPcanada and I first asked the Ford Conservatives to mandate bird safe windows, 2 million birds have died from window collisions in Ontario. Birds play an essential role in our economy and environment. Sign the petition here: chrisglovermpp.ca/protect_mi…

Did you know that 1 home kills an average of 5 birds per year? Although commercial structures see a higher number of birds striking at one time, residential homes actually make up a majority of the overall bird-loss!

This is shocking. Lots of animals, including giant anteaters, trapped in a drainage system in Argentina…. Please RT to spread awareness and ask for their rescue @visitargentina @ArgentinaMFA
Es atroz lo que está pasando en #Santiagodelestero #Argentina. Miles d animales muriendo ahogados en el canal que va de Amama a Quimilí. Sofi una buena amiga bióloga argentina está pidiendo ayuda en redes para difundir lo que está pasando ante la inacción de las autoridades 🧵

Wow...my first proper Phalarope experience with the Dartmouth Park Grey Phalarope. Absolutely surreal how close it would show while seemingly never stopping😅 Incredibly challenging to photograph but an immensely fun bird to watch!

Gotcha. A Red-necked Phalarope snags the worm. This time the prey is spinning and the phalarope isn't. A successful hunt on the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge #Alaska

There are few better bird dads than the Comb-crested Jacana. He raises the chicks all on his own, and If he senses any threats, he picks the chicks up under his wings and carries them to safety.

Yesterday @MountAllison university made a leading step towards making campus more #bird friendly by treating Barclays entrance with @FeatherFriendly stickers! Many thanks to everyone who helped me achieve this. Here’s to treating more windows on campus soon! 🐦 – at Sackville, New Brunswick
