This fall I applied and was accepted to a spot on the
Duke Environment 'blogging team.' Hooray!

No longer am I a lone wolf (err... lone bird), but now have co-conspirators and an institutional platform from which to spout my bird-brained thoughts.
Don't fear--this does not mark the end of Birds on the Brain; I will continue to post birding stories here.
But I invite you to check out my new blog, 'Birds in a Changing World,' where I have already begun experimenting with some new narrative angles. Come take a look: my first post,
Will our Love for Birds Help Them Survive Environmental Catastrophe, is a manifesto of sorts.
I hope to put more emphasis on science and hopefully reduce the use of obscure birder jargon, like "passerine," or "Thayer's Gull," or "cloaca" to appeal to a more muggle readership. If you have been enjoying my writing here over the past four years, I'm sure you'll have lots to look forward to in my shiny new (second) home.
I'll be sure to cross-link future posts here as well.
Click them early and often and leave comments (unless you're my mom; Google analytics filters those out) so I don't get cut from the team!
