Our tiny bird of prey, the Black-thighed Falconet (Microhierax fringillarius). Used a Nikon P900 to reach it, high up on a branch. They love to bob the head. #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia @Avibase @orientbirdclub

Cooper’s Hawk perch hunting sparrows that were hiding in tall grass beneath a fence. Between attacks, he made soft & quick chip notes (like “pishing”) then watched intently for prey movement. First time I witnessed this interesting behavior/strategy before! #Accipiter

Interested in how Barn Owls help farmers? Listen to this short podcast interview with @barn_owlproject team member @talonDNA: Barn Owls for Integrated Pest Management

Barn owls can be very helpful to managing vertebrate pests such as gophers, voles, and mice.

Happy hour at @SuperOwlBrewing with our amazing volunteer team! Volunteers are at the heart of our operations—our work would not be possible without them. Also DYK Super Owl donates beer samples for our annual spring & fall open house events? We’re so grateful for their support!

What appropriate timing for #NationalInvasiveSpeciesAwarenessWeek. Just finished my thesis surrounding the prevalence and abatement of European Starlings in kestrel nest boxes. Spoiler alert: there were a lot of them...

So honored to be mentioned in @subirdia ‘s new book!
A couple of years ago I got to drive around our field sites with @subirdia to talk #working birds and introduce him to the amazing growers and students we work with (like @jess_schlarbaum) and now, it’s in a book!

The quintessential kestrel trapping experience. No knuckle or cuticle is safe.

Going through nest cameras and found this gem. A young red-tailed hawk (right side of the frames) tried to grab a Swainson's Hawk nestling for an easy meal. Dad comes in to save the day - cue surprised red-tail. #raptorresearch

You're making me blush, CRC. ☺️
