Postdoc at Cornell Lab of Ornithology using radar to study offshore bird migration with the BirdCast Teamhttps://bsky.app/profile/shannoncurley.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/shannoncurley.bsky.social/post/3lrldokiay22zNew paper out led by the awesome @peterw-ecol.bsky.social ! Check out how winter and breeding bird communities in the northeastern US are becoming phylogenetically and functionally more similar to each other over time (and in such an interesting way!) https://nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ecog.0771714 Jun 2025 16:11 +0000at://did:plc:zqwhmddsbtbvcsv56qzo7gld/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrldokiay22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/shannoncurley.bsky.social/post/3ljohoune4c2qMy last trip to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology as a postdoc 😭 I will truly miss this place! I have the best boss and colleagues and grateful for my 2+ years of growing professionally and personally. Not sure what happens next but forever grateful for this experience ❤️06 Mar 2025 02:39 +0000at://did:plc:zqwhmddsbtbvcsv56qzo7gld/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljohoune4c2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/shannoncurley.bsky.social/post/3lbj4cnebg22fLast year I had the opportunity to try a Zeiss DTI 4/50 thermal imaging camera to study nocturnal bird migration. It was awesome! I have hours of footage - can anyone recommend ways I can enhance the videos or darken the background?

We demonstrate the homogenization between winter and breeding bird communities across the northeastern United States and highlight individual species/groups contributing to this change. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/geb.1391901 Oct 2024 22:40 +0000at://did:plc:zqwhmddsbtbvcsv56qzo7gld/app.bsky.feed.post/3l5ic3ednri2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/shannoncurley.bsky.social/post/3kn7up7fp6w2gThis pretty much sums up my adventures in machine learning 🤣08 Mar 2024 23:36 +0000at://did:plc:zqwhmddsbtbvcsv56qzo7gld/app.bsky.feed.post/3kn7up7fp6w2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/shannoncurley.bsky.social/post/3kmtook52dt2hI mean, yeah, I guess…04 Mar 2024 03:17 +0000at://did:plc:zqwhmddsbtbvcsv56qzo7gld/app.bsky.feed.post/3kmtook52dt2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/shannoncurley.bsky.social/post/3kmods76zeo2vBirdCast is officially back for the spring migration season, yay!!!!! https://birdcast.info/migration-tools/live-migration-maps/02 Mar 2024 00:18 +0000at://did:plc:zqwhmddsbtbvcsv56qzo7gld/app.bsky.feed.post/3kmods76zeo2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/shannoncurley.bsky.social/post/3kflgrdenid2cThis is the best day of my life 💚02 Dec 2023 18:37 +0000at://did:plc:zqwhmddsbtbvcsv56qzo7gld/app.bsky.feed.post/3kflgrdenid2chttps://bsky.app/profile/shannoncurley.bsky.social/post/3keo5p3zwes2iCouch potato 🦜21 Nov 2023 03:08 +0000at://did:plc:zqwhmddsbtbvcsv56qzo7gld/app.bsky.feed.post/3keo5p3zwes2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/shannoncurley.bsky.social/post/3kc5gqvujjb2eUghhh why are SLF such freakin jerks 🤬?!
