Purpose-built open-source algorithm for classifying ducks from UAV imagery. Come see Zack Loken's talk at Ducks9 this week!
(model currently instructed to ignore hens...not enough imagery right now for the model to parse them)

Congratulations to Dr. Bonczek who defended her dissertation today!
No PhD is a cake walk, but Lizzi fought through a dizzying number of early challenges on this one. She is a paragon of perseverance, and has earned every inch of this accomishment.

I wanted to share with you some 3D imagery I’ve captured at one of our female wild turkey nest locations. This individuals nest was depredated, and was also grabbed ahold of by the predator. Advances in technology are incredible. @wildturkeydoc @NWTF_official @DrShortSpur

We microchip wood ducks right after they hatch to ID them next year, and we can also study patterns of nest parasitism and box use with these slick homemade box-mounted RFID readers. With @DylanDoesDucks and @LSUCollegeofAg undergrad @_usern8 @LSUAgCenter @LSUResearch @LDWF
