"I’ve spent countless hours in the field & at my desk studying Wilson’s Snipe, but the work is far from finished... As North American shorebird populations continue to suffer, it’s critical to highlight species that can inform strategies & connect communities to these broader trends." #ornithology
Guest Post: Putting the Spotlight on Wilson’s Snipe
If you grew up in North America, chances are you’ve heard of a “snipe hunt.”

I was feeling down for taking a day off from my PhD...then I was reminded that sometimes we need the time off to just be.
So here we are, Dobby and I, having a chill Monday.

That’s a wrap on fieldwork! 🎉🦜🌿 Next up: data, analysis, and writing (lots of writing).
But first—celebrating with a well-earned breakfast because tomorrow is also my birthday! 🎂🥂

My bestie @rahiljamin.bsky.social wrote an amazing paper! 🦜Using pattern-oriented simulations to model how superb lyrebirds spread in Tasmania—so freaking cool! Go check it out! 🔥
🚀 New Paper in @ecography.bsky.social ! 📍
How can we forecast species’ spread through space & time? 🚀⏳
We built a pattern-oriented simulation to model the expansion of superb lyrebirds in Tasmania.

Last fieldwork trip this Saturday! 🦜🌿
After months of bird surveys, saltmarsh mud, and early mornings, my final fieldwork day is here! Next up: data analysis & writing. Excited (and slightly terrified) for this next stage! I love these places! Check the 📸
