  1. This is a list of #songbirds recorded in just a few minutes at #Gite-Milvain yesterday morning and identified by the #MerlinBirdID app by #CornellLab

  2. In Do Birds Use Scarecrows?, Vanya Rohwer explores why birds, especially cavity-nesters, incorporate shed snake skin into nests. This rare material deters small mammal predators, likely due to their fear of snakes. The study found that cavity-nesters are 6.5 times more likely to use snake skin than open-cup nesters, highlighting its potential anti-predation benefits.

    "Leading from Any Chair" by Mike Rohde emphasizes that leadership isn't limited to those in charge—anyone can influence a situation from any position. Drawing inspiration from The Art of Possibility, the article shares stories, like that of a violist in an orchestra, to highlight the importance of staying ready to step up when needed. The piece encourages seizing opportunities to lead, recognizing others’ contributions, and staying engaged.

    In Coming Soon: Securely Import and Export Passkeys, Nick Steele explains that the FIDO Alliance has released draft specifications (CXP and CXF) to securely transfer passkeys across platforms. This aims to eliminate the current inability to move passkeys between password managers while maintaining strong security.

    In The WordPress Saga: Does Matt Mullenweg Want a Fork or Not?, Alex Williams digs into the tension between WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg and WP Engine over trademark violations. Mullenweg’s aggressive stance and calls for a WordPress fork make one think about the broader issue of open-source software’s role in corporate power struggles.

    In Gergely Orosz's article, "Open source business model struggles at WordPress", he analyses the escalating legal battle between Automattic and WP Engine and highlights the challenges of monetising open source software. Automattic's aggressive tactics reveal a struggle to maintain dominance and profits in an increasingly competitive landscape, mirroring broader trends in tech.

    I am fan of ActivityPub and how is has enabled my 20 year old WordPress blog to become a citizen of the Fediverse. It seems Dave Winer has fallen in love with WordPress and ActivityPub too. In his recent posts, Dave reflects on the evolution of the web, particularly how WordPress and Mastodon are redefining content creation and sharing. He seems genuinely excited about using ActivityPub to seamlessly connect his writing between these platforms, enabling a more liberated writing experience without the constraints of character limits or restrictive editing spaces. Winer envisions this as a pivotal moment where writers reclaim control from platforms like Twitter. He highlights the collaborative spirit of the web and celebrates how technology can bring people together. For more insights, check out his posts here and here.

  3. Next Sunday (5 May) is National Dawn Chorus Day in the UK. Now if you find getting up before dawn a bit of a challenge you can record dawn chorus on your mobile and save the file. I use "GOM Recorder". The resulting file can then be imported into the excellent Bird app "Merlin". This app can both capture audio and then identify the birdsong within a sound file.

  24. I’m new here, so here is my #intro. I am passionate about #birds, #conservation, and #technology and the intersection of these three things. During the day, I manage the Merlin project at the #CornellLab of #Ornithology, as well as mobile development and machine learning for #eBird and #MacaulayLibrary. In my free time, I am mostly collecting media and observations for those projects :)
