#WildSymbiosesLab is back in action. #ColbyBiology editions. Assembling and installing tree swallow nestboxes!

Classes start tomorrow!! I am so excited to be starting this new chapter as Assistant Professor at Colby College 😆

Shameless plug for someone who shares a few genes with me and wants to be a Youtuber. If you have kids that like #Minecraft and have access to YouTube - tell them to check this out! First video ever just dropped: youtu.be/B3CGAnoqLK0

The cats are loving this whole Maine thing! So much bird-watching 😍

My first farmers market haul in Maine. I’m living in Maine, people!!!! I am so excited about everything that lies ahead 🦞🪶🌲❄️🍓⛷️🏕️🔬📓

94F, with humidity, feels like 103F. What an afternoon to load the truck 😬 Maine, you are sounding better and better for every sweaty moment 🥵

Whoa. This is happening really soon!!!!

One of the best things about what I do is the gift of working with amazing students like Stephanie and Alejandro. I am so grateful and continually inspired. Great job finishing off the field season 🎉 @SA_Gaspar_ @agcrespobiology PUMA 4-ever 💜💜💜

Because, you know… May the fourth be with you: youtu.be/U9t-slLl30E

One tube per bird

My favorite boy from this morning’s catch. He’s trying so hard to be a grownup with that patchy purple 😍 #purplemartins #UCFbiology #ColbyBiology #WildSymbiosesLab

Just finished teaching my last EVER lecture ⁦⁦@UCF⁩ 🤯 Next stop, ⁦@ColbyCollege⁩ 🎉 But for now, I’ll take a nap so that I’m ready to chase #purplemartins again in the morning. #UCFbiology #ColbyBiology #UCFpuma #WildSymbiosesLab

Still processing all of the amazing experiences I had in the Amazon during @g2p2pop. But nothing can top seeing hundreds of thousands of #purplemartins head off to bed. Meanwhile, our UCF martins are busy popping out eggs here in FL! @PMCAErie
