It's a wrap for my first field season. Stay tuned for more updates on discoveries and findings through data analysis!

The native New Zealand birds, which evolved without the need to avoid mammalian predators, are naturally defenseless against them.

Taking flight takes a certain amount of courage. When nestlings have grown too big for the nest, they are ready to fledge!

In November, the first chicks start to break out of their shell. They are close-eyed, featherless, and a bundle of sweetness.

The tītipounamu is an elusive bird. Their high-pitched calls often go unheard by many.

The tītipounamu is a great model of a hardworking bird. And they are just 6-8 grams!

This species build their nests in cavities of dead or dying trees. In a partially logged forest, old, rotting trees are hard to find.

How do you survive by being small? The soundscape in a New Zealand bush is filled with splendor.

What we want is a nation of informed people, people who will make the right decisions because of what they read.
