I'm also a birder, photographer, and gamer! #bird
In order to support the filming process in my institution, I will delete this video of Grebe dance and will not post any other videos that recorded in my hometown until the end of this year.
Hopefully some of my clips of birds will sappear in the film in the future.

Meet House Sparrow 3011-88932 (band number). He is the 6,000th bird we banded on the Rutgers Newark campus (since 2011). As you can see, he was slightly bemused by all the ceremony.

Something updated in the academia part:
Unfortunately, I was rejected by the grad school I applied to in the 2025 cycle.
I know there are many factors for this year, no matter for myself or the environment, but I will try to continue applying in 2026.

Ducks and gooses in Poyang Lake, Jiangxi.

It is hard to identify them in monoculars in such a long distance.😂

It was a great opportunity to present my research in Beijing #AOC2024!! Many people are interested in my topic even though the research on bird-window collision is at an early stage in China.

And I will give stickers designs by myself (it’s the collaboration with the institutes I do my internship) if you ask questions in my talk or see me on conference!

Excited to see my 100th bird species in China: Red-flanked Bluetail, even though I first met it in NJ, United States.
And the first critically endangered bird species: Siberian Crane! The Poyang Lake at my hometown is one of the important wintering places for them! #bird
