Hello Mastodoners,

Evidently we need to keep introducing ourselves here to start building up those networks again.

I am Tim –– #ecologist, #ornithologist, and Associate Professor at #OklahomaStateUniversity and current #President of the #wilsonornithologicalsociety.

I dig #birds, #landscapes, #science #HigherEd #CriticalThinking #SecularHumanism, #mentoring, #DEIJ, etc. Still active as @Seiurus on another site.

My frequent furry sidekick is Nellie.

I will follow you!
