According to river otters, burrow-nesting seabirds are otter-ly delicious!

New study finds river otters 🦦 prey on seabirds across 73 North American islands!

🔹 Otters prefer small burrow-nesting seabirds
🔹 They’ll swim up to 8 km across open water to reach colonies
🔹 Most attacks occur on nearshore islands

The last (but not least!) paper from our journal's latest issue - #Seabird 37 - is online now! doi.org/10.61350/sbj...

This one is all about mortality & aspergillosis (a fungal infection 🍄 & silent killer) in rescued gannets #northerngannet #wildliferehabilitation #seabirdhealth
A bar chart showing percentages of adult and juvenile Northern gannets admitted to wildlife rehabilitation with different injuries/ conditions. These include: emaciation, exhaustion, trauma, hook and line, neurologic and aspergillosis (fungal infection). From the paper by Aaron Pahl.

That exciting moment when the lattice has been knocked down during the night (image 1), you know you will get an adult (image 2). #SeabirdSeptember #seabirds All birds handled with appropriate scientific permits.
