Enjoyed discussing @tnwildlife sponsored mallard research with @mgbrasher on the @DucksUnlimited podcast. Stay tuned for more #duck research and convos coming soon!

A research idea born in a duck blind matures into a $2 million cutting-edge study? Darn right, it did! And you can learn more about it on the latest episodes of the only podcast about all things waterfowl. Dr. @mgbrasher is joined by Tennessee Technological University's Dr. Abby Blake-Bradshaw and Dr. Nick Masto for their long-awaited discussion about the study we've all heard about—the wintering ecology of mallards in the Mid-South.
Check out 'Ep. 582 – Studying Mallard Ducks in Western Tennessee' and 'Ep. 583 – Bumping Birds: What Are We Learning About Ducks, Sanctuary, and Hunters?' wherever you access podcasts.

My brother and I defended our dissertations! I’ve accepted a postdoc at @universityofri and @BaknerNicholas at @tennesseetech. We couldn’t have done this without the support of our family, friends, and PhD committees. Proud of you Nick!

After the first two weeks post-hatch, turkey poults begin to behave like adults, including vocalizations. One of our field techs caught these poults calling while in the field. You can hear several vocalizations from the poults, including yelps, clucks and whines.

Please RT: New PhD student position studying white-winged dove ecology in Texas with me and TPWD. Lots of banding and GPS-GSM tags + opportunities to do resource selection across an urban gradient, study disease, contaminants, harvest, and migration.
Everyone go check out the new website. A lot of our archived literature and more!

Wildlife Techniques students @UF make videos where they address a problem w/ how wildlifers conduct research. Have a minute? Please add a question to a video - this interaction w/ professionals is immensely helpful! Thank you! @UFWildlife @UF_IFAS youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

New short communication in Food Webs by myself and @KevinRingelman. We used modified trail cameras to observe wood duck nests and found red-bellied woodpeckers depredate and consume eggs when nests are unguarded.

And we're off!
The Nebraska wild turkey project has hit the ground running. So far, our team has deployed GPS transmitters on 51 birds (on our way to 120 total). Stay tuned for more updates!

Looking for a fun, awesome summer job? Come join our team! We are looking for five technicians to join our team here in North Dakota to search for, and monitor, grassland bird nests. Applications received by January 15th will receive full consideration, so apply today! @FelegeLab
We have this one stream we’ve been trapping muskrats in Pennsylvania. The juvenile muskrats we’ve been catching have these growths on their body. This growth is definitely the largest we’ve seen. Any mammalogist out there have any insight on this?

Ricky Lackey & @BaknerNicholas talk how many nests are burned in prescribed fires, based on a database of 600-700 nests, & why turkeys tend to nest in areas not scheduled to be burned. Pt 2 of our Turkey Symposium goes live Thurs. at 1pm ET. Don't miss it! youtu.be/eCESved-fqg
