#Catbirds, one eating a flower
I could hear the males singing, but could not find them to take photos. 🙁

AsakiyumeThe other day I posted a sketch for a chalk drawing of a catbird eating red currants, and today I did the drawing on the driveway. And now it's raining! Ahhhhh, evanescence!

IcarosityUsually all of the birds stay out of the garden for a while after I rinse the bird bath but last year one or both of the catbird couple figured out that if they drank and bathed right after I left they got the freshest coolest water. The catbirds arrived from the south this week and they must be the same ones because they’re barely waiting for me to get indoors before they start to splash around.

Journal of Exp BiolIn the first of our 2024 ECR Spotlights, Cory Elowe tells us about his research, showing that the protein sarcolipin (which makes mammalian muscle less efficient, so that it burns more energy) does something different in migrating gray catbirds. Instead, it makes the birds fat & their muscles are not less efficient

ECR Spotlight – Cory Elowe
ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Cory Elowe is an author on ‘ Sarcolipin relates to fattening, but not sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase uncoupling, in captive migratory gray catbirds’, published in JEB. Cory conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Alexander Gerson's lab at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA. He is now a postdoc in the lab of Maria Stager at University of Massachusetts, Amherst, investigating the integrative physiology of environmental challenges.
