Came across a brood of these chicks in a nearby National Park. They stay in parental care for up to 9 months, and only 12% of chicks per nest grow to adult due to their susceptibility to disease and poor weather.

Gorgeous. Never seen this one before

I completely agree. It makes it more sustainable on both sides

I really enjoy wingspan, so I will be keeping a close eye on this one

Surely that isn’t sustainable for you or beehaw? On the one hand, please take care to look after your own best interests. We really appreciate your work, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of your well-being.

On the other hand, if the project is based on full time volunteer work by people who can’t afford to volunteer full time over the long term, surely that is a major risk to the long term viability of the instance?

Still very low, but fantastic that they are on the up. Hope it continues

100% agree. I have no interest in seeing gaming memes.

This is really exciting tech. The potential for this is huge, especially when this data is compared with other population estimates, which should get it more accurate. All while being non-invasive to the species.

Great article. Signal has achieved a lot but still faces huge challenges. This article puts that all in perspective nicely
