The Wildlife & Water Lab had our first social event/outing this past weekend, checking out a creek in a local state park! 🤩 a dream come true to work with a group of such fantastic students + collaborators. My heart is full!

Maybe I’m biased but the water-associated warblers are all such heartthrobs

My cool natural history observation of the summer: a mud dauber wasp built a nest by my doorway, and not a day later a cuckoo wasp showed up and starting chewing her way in to leave her own eggs! 🐝

Nature Dawgs (dare I say “Bird Dawgs”??) at #AOS25! I enjoyed learning about painted buntings & intense lit reviews from fellow @universityofga.bsky.social scientists from the Warnell School of Forestry & Conservation.

Ahh shoot! Let’s get coffee or something!

Or I guess tea since the ☕️ keeps running out 😂

POV: it’s your first bird conference in like 8 years and you got a little excited

(and/or you’ve got too many friends who know how to buy sweet gifts!)

Very excited to attend my first bird conference as an assistant professor next week at #AOS25! It's been 7 years since my last ornithology meeting and I couldn't be more excited to make new friends and chat avian ecology & conservation (1/X). Let's connect!

A great reed warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus), a gorgeous marsh specialist in Europe. I can assure you they weren't happy!

This was back when I lived in Spain (and hadn't lost a lot of hair to cancer treatments!) and was volunteering with the Spanish Ornithological Society's banding research.

2026 Smith Fellowship apps are open! I'd love to chat with potential postdocs about projects on freshwater biodiversity, Nature-based Solutions, & wetland conservation. Reach out if the Wildlife & Water Lab at the Odum School of Ecology is up your alley!

As a naturalist, I treasure meeting the non-human denizens of any new place I travel. This past week, I got to set foot in an island tropical rainforest for the first time in years thanks to #SFS2025 in Puerto Rico. What stunning forests!
