Check out our new paper in @PLOSONE where we evaluated wood duck nests that were parasitized by hooded mergansers and black-bellied whistling-ducks. @KevinRingelman @LSUAgCenter

In the southeastern United States, wood ducks (Aix sponsa) have historically experienced interspecific brood parasitism (IBP) primarily from hooded mergansers (Lophodytes cucullatus), but the recent...

It’s that time of year again! I’m hiring three 🦆 technicians to assist in data collection for my Master’s project on Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks. Please share!

New paper! We analyzed coyote abundance across the continent working w/@RolandKays & SNAPSHOT USA Hunting seemed to ⬆️ abundance Wolf, puma, & bear effects were habitat-dependent Urban effects flipped from ➖ to➕as spatial scale increased Free access: https://t.co/oBmYTSYLs9

So proud of @KatieMiranda_ who essentially completed at MS project during undergrad!
Undergrad thesis from @KatieMiranda_ published today! Traditional monitoring methods dramatically underestimate duckling recruitment in cavity-nesting waterfowl @LSU_Honors @JonathanEarle2

Woodcock are a peculiar shorebird and nest during their spring migrations (up to 6x). Here are some of the migratory movements taken between nesting attempts for individually GPS-tagged females during 4 breeding seasons in eastern North America #itinerantbreeding #EWMRC

Circling back to this old post as we have a new paper out regarding this topic! https://t.co/bDX4ralnEc

We evaluated the relative success of wood ducks (Aix sponsa) and hooded mergansers (Lophodytes cucullatus) laying parasitically in Louisiana and Mississippi. Wood duck eggs laid in hooded merganser...
What is going on here? Something I frequently observe: Wood duck eggs appear to be depredated at greater rates than hooded merganser eggs (marked with red X’s).

Purpose-built open-source algorithm for classifying ducks from UAV imagery. Come see Zack Loken's talk at Ducks9 this week! (model currently instructed to ignore hens...not enough imagery right now for the model to parse them)

My brother and I defended our dissertations! I’ve accepted a postdoc at @universityofri and @BaknerNicholas at @tennesseetech. We couldn’t have done this without the support of our family, friends, and PhD committees. Proud of you Nick!

New short communication in Food Webs by myself and @KevinRingelman. We used modified trail cameras to observe wood duck nests and found red-bellied woodpeckers depredate and consume eggs when nests are unguarded. https://t.co/SEG3KMQVu1

Congratulations to @KatieMiranda_ for defending her honors thesis! You’re an incredible person and taught me so much. She will be heading to Minnedosa, MB to work for @DeltaWaterfowl. Good luck Katie! I know you’ll succeed in whatever you decide to pursue!

Our team captured the first black-bellied whistling-duck of the year today. Like wood ducks, they are nesting ~1 month earlier than usual. Prior this year, the earliest capture we made was on April 22 during my first field season in 2020.

It’s almost been 2 months now. Thanksgiving morning Effy passed away. Her intestines twisted for some unknown reason; she died from sepsis following surgery. She really lit up the room and things are sure different without her. Love you pop-pop.
