Spent Saturday with two students, Iona Rohan and Morgan Monroe, that I coadvise with Jennifer Frey in central NM-- tons of wind energy development in the last two years. We've been studying how terrestrial mammals respond to wind energy development. Stay tuned for Iona's findings later this year!

It is heartening to read news like this. I have so many questions though! Was this rediscovery due to better survey methods? Are the birds increasing due to the control of cats? Did they increase on the island or did they disperse from another island? www.darwinfoundation.org/en/news/all-...
