@sixtine9856 Месяц назад

As a student who want to be ornithologist, do you know what I should do ?

@wildwithsoren 17 дней назад

@@sixtine9856 There's a few routes you can take. I personally didn't know I wanted to be an ornithologist and just did a regular biology degree in uni. I got really hooked on birds through volunteering (bird banding stations, local conservation organisations, ...) and through that landed a few internships and through one of those internships a job as a full time ornithologist. I would say most importantly get outside, get familiar with your local birds and learn how to ID them (especially their calls and songs). That's a skill highly sought after for environmental assessment studies and monitorings. Lots of people can live off that kind of work as freelance ornithologists for example. Otherwise I can only suggest to get on eBird, contact local birders, tag along with them and learn from them. Some universities also offer ornithology classes/courses either as a full degree or as part of a biology/environmental science degree. That's just my personal experience. Depending where you are from I'm sure there's multiple routes how you could end up as an ornithologist. Hope that helps :)

On some of the pines you will let stand, you should strip the bark in a circle around the trunk. This create standing dead wood which is very important for nesting animals.

I've been watching your for about 2 years and I am still so impressed with your work. The way you shoot videos of animal behavior while incorporating trail cams creates a very interesting narrative. I also admire your efforts into fixing your land to better accommodate more animals. They way you are improving the pine barren is honestly pretty revolutionary and maybe more national and state parks should copy your example.

@thisisme1999 Месяц назад

So happy to see the post! You are living my dream! I hate seeing monoculture, BC has few forests left most of what was logged was just replaced with giant tree farms. Years ago, I knew a guy who use to gather wildflower seed and tree seeds and would walk through some of these monocultures spreading the seed. Not sure how well it worked but it made him feel like he was contributing in a positive way.

@StefanoIaniro Месяц назад

That’s a great idea! Especially if doing it early on, the trees haven’t grown enough to close the canopy, so I’m sure a lot of the seeds he threw would do well initially.

I remember watching a video about reintroducing beaver dams to revitalize an ecosystem- and they brought up pine lumber plantations there as well. There’s another effect besides the dense lack of ground cover- the run off from all the pine needles can be pretty acidic, which can harm the aquatic ecosystems around it. I’m excited to see how this project goes, and am glad to see you not only doing due diligence but trying to make the homestead such a thriving ecosystem
