Next up for my 2026 #birdphotography, bird surveys from south #Texas in April. Some of which, I have been waiting A LONG time to see! - Common pauraque - Green jay - Golden-cheeked warbler - Sandwich tern

It has been a busy year, but I finally was able to review my spring #birdphotography. The photos below are from a trip to #Albuquerque in April: - Gray vireo - Black-throated sparrow - Wood duck - Scott's oriole
My thanks to @thecassowarykid.bsky.social (perfect Bluesky handle, btw) for sharing his story with us! #biology #science

Our publication, led by Meredith Taylor, is officially out in print. Thank you to @anatrecord.bsky.social for selecting my #artㅤㅤㅤㅤ for the cover of the June issue! The image depicts cleared & stained specimens of an embryonic #chicken (left) and #emu (right).
Sad news today. Liberace, the northern #cassowary I have studied since 2013 passed away this weekend. Liberace was a curious, dynamic, and wonderful bird. I am quite saddened by his death, but feel fortunate to have spent time in his presence and experience his unique personality. He will be missed.
I greatly appreciated the opportunity to discuss our new study about #cassowary #biofluorescence with Elliott from the People Are Fish channel! Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhZS...

A fantastic time discussing research, reconnecting with colleagues, and meeting new collaborators at #anatomy26 in #NewMexico! @anatomyorg.bsky.social
I am honored to have our #cassowary #biofluorescence study highlighted in the National Geographic story that came out today! Thank you to writer, @tmitchellbrown.bsky.social and for having interest in our research! @tetzoo.bsky.social www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...
The surprising hidden glow of one of Earth’s largest birds
Scientists were surprised to discover cassowaries glow under ultraviolet light. It may help the birds distinguish between different species.

This was such an amazing trip! So happy to have had @tetzoo.bsky.social make the trip across the pond to experience it with me!
Darren Naish@tetzoo.bsky.social · 6mo agoBack in 2023, I visited Florida and had the most incredible time with @thecassowarykid.bsky.social. Encounters with multiple live (captive) cassowaries, most of which had to be captured and moved to a new facility

🚨NEW SCIENCE ALERT!🚨Read our new, open-access publication in Scientific Reports (@nature.com) describing #biofluorescence in #cassowary casques! Very excited to unveil this after keeping it secret for 5 years⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s41... NYITCOM @akiopteryx.bsky.social @jonathanberman.bsky.social
Interestingly, #Spinosaurus mirabilis exhibits crest asymmetry in some specimens. It is a reminiscent of the varying degree of casque asymmetry in modern #cassowaries. Learn more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Spinosaurus illustration by Dani Navarro
🚨NEW SCIENCE ALERT!🚨Our paper, led by Dr. Paul Sereno, is now available in @science.org! We describe a new African #dinosaur species with a unique cranial crest—Spinosaurus mirabilis. Beautiful #paleoart by Dani Navarro graces the cover of the February 19 issue! doi.org/10.1126/scie...
This is not a wild Australian #emu, but rather a captive animal from the US. We routinely catch emus for data collection, veterinary checks, and transferring enclosures. Restraining emus in this awkward fashion reduces the chance of being kicked by the bird, but they are still incredibly strong!
Hello Bluesky! I joined this platform to redirect some of my social media efforts. My name is Todd Green and I study comparative and functional #anatomy of vertebrate animals―with particular interest in the evolutionary morphology of #flightlessbirds. Below is an adult, southern #cassowary.
