As a mid-career scientist, it's great to attend a meeting where I can visit with influential mentors who helped me get started but also see the success of former REU and graduate students from my days at K-State. Thanks to #AOS19AK! @femalebirdsong @avstrauss @ForAnimEcolLab
Exploring the Kenai Peninsula after the AOS conference. Sea otters, kittiwakes, murrelets, and a Falcated Duck at Potter Marsh. #AOS19AK
Tom Martin making the point that long-term cavity population studies can detect marked changes occurring over >decadal scales #AOS19AK
A couple of roadside moths in Anchorage on the way to #AOS19AK this morning. First looks very much like Buff Arches. Any N American moth aficionados out there? #teammoth
Looking forward to presenting some of @EllaFCole and my work on the links between spatial scale, phenology and environmental change in the long term study from @WythamTits at #AOS19AK later today
I'm after some camera trap recommendations - will be used for videoing bowerbird bowers in Australia. Ideally would like ability to link/synchronise 2 cameras for different views of same bower. Any suggestions? #AOS19AK #ornithology
Still jealous of of ornithologists with bird-themed names; seen so far: Martin, Swift, Duckworth, Song, Winger, Falconer, Robbins, Pidgeon, Fowle, and Nightingale. #AOS19Ak
Emily Weiser speaking on demographic models for arctic-breeding shorebirds from the ASDN project. #ASDN #AOS19AK
Eveling describing an interesting demographic analysis of the survival benefits of oversummering in Peru as a yearling sandpiper. @eveconnection #AOS19AK
Fascinated to learn about Brina Kessel's long career in ornithology - particularly in Alaska - at #AOS19AK today. Someone for whom the term 'trail-blazer' is really appropriate, especially given the obstacles she faced (e.g. not allowed on field...

In Anchorage for the #AOS19AK meeting? Check out this afternoon's symposium organized by @StralbergDiana of @adaptwest & @borealbirds Conservation and management of boreal birds in a changing climate: What do we expect, what have we observed, and what do we do about it?
Just arrived in Anchorage for #AOS19AK - I still have my @AnimalEcology Senior Editor's hat on so very happy to talk about any aspects of this including open special feature on social...
REMINDER!
If youβre at #AOS19AK #Evol2019 or any other ecology conference, we need folk to take part in our exercise of seeing how social these events are. See below. Thanks!

Tough trying to pick out #AOS19AK attendees when everyone in Anchorage dresses like a field biologist...
Debating a Denali/birding trip tomorrow/Tuesday - any #AOS19AK takers or anyone already doing that with a spare seat?
Are you going to #AOS19AK? Iβm looking for someone to contribute our ongoing 'Science Communication Through Social Media at Conferencesβ spreadsheet. Need to collate some key data (e.g. counting total posters and how many have social...
My kombucha mother has been dropped off at its babysitter (thanks @ptchivers), which means I am now set to begin the long journey to #Evol2019, #AOS19AK, and the US leg of #fieldseason2019. Looking forward to catching up with folks!
