Heavy is the bear that wears the crown…🐻👑 For the second year running 128 'Grazer' is crowned #FatBearWeek Champ! Thanks to everyone who cast a vote & celebrated the importance of Katmai National Park's ecosystem. Special shoutout to the “official sponsor” of Fat Bear Week, the salmon.

From October 14–20, BirdLife Australia is hosting the #AussieBirdCount – and you’re invited to get involved! Taking part is easy; register on the #Birdlife #Australia website, spend 20 minutes in an #outdoor space, and submit the #birds you see during that time: aussiebirdcount.org.au

It’s student fieldtrip time! Teaching students that rodents are cool and a new bird call each day. So far we have the Lewins honeyeater and the golden whistler locked in 👍🏼

Another student fieldtrip nearly done and dusted. We’ve done small mammal trapping, spotlighting, bird surveys, vhf tracking, survey design, soil plots, camera trapping and more. It’s always so rewarding seeing the students develop their skills and get confident in their handling
