📡 Why do Martins and Swallows pass by the Great Lakes when they do - Great collaboration with Yuting Deng and @kyle-horton.bsky.social. @biodiversa.eu 📡

Birds will be arriving soon! This map shows peak migration dates across the US modeled using radar data. Keep in mind, the dates represent peaks, but migration usually plays out across a couple of weeks, so estimate ± 1 week on either side of the dates on the map for max migration activity.

Quantifying nocturnal bird migration using acoustics: opportunities and challenges In this study, we explore three migration intensity measures derived from acoustic recordings, that is, bird call and passage rates, and species diversity, for their usefulness in quantifying nocturn...

Can we use #acoustics to quantify nocturnal #birdmigration in Europe? We explored potential and outlined some challenges in our latest publication in @rsecjournal.bsky.social. Get it HERE: doi.org/10.1002/rse2...

These are 5 autumn migration routes travelled by the same common tern. He’s not the only one showing such flexibility, and it pays, because in our new paper, published by @royalsocietypublishing.org, we show that route flexibility is associated with minimized headwind exposure: tinyurl.com/4dawhwzj

Come do some exciting migratory insect and bird research with us! - Two more weeks until application deadline.

A male Pallid Harrier giving impeccable views as it rapidly passed the count station. The bird shows its characteristic almost black-and-white plumage with the thin black wedge at the wingtips, and stands out clearly against the dark backdrop of the Batumi bottleneck.

Our @batumiraptorcount.org Autumn Report is now online!

Ever considered coming to Batumi to watch the incredible migration of 1+ million raptors 🦅, either as tourist or volunteer? Let our richly illustrated reports convince you to come next year.

Wondering why acoustic indices may also correlate with diversity metrics of non-vocalizing species?

Check out our new paper led by @saskiadroege.bsky.social with acoustic, habitat quality, and multi-taxa biodiversity data from northeastern Madagascar!
