I’m writing this to let you know that I’ll be stepping back from the radar posts this spring, in order to finish my dissertation (I’m planning to defend at the end of July). It’s impossible for me to keep up the site at the level necessary, and still finish in time, so I need to take a hiatus at least for this semester. I will still be posting the birding weather forecasts on http://birdcapemay.org/bfma/ and I have passed the torch to my friends, Angel and Mariel, for managing http://badbirdz2.wordpress.com (it’s like woodcreeper.com, but for Florida and the Caribbean). I hope you’ll find both of these sites useful during migration.

In the meantime I’m working on a grant proposal for postdoctoral research on migration and radar, which will eventually take woodcreeper.com to the next level of sophistication and complexity… more than anything else, that’s what I want to focus on, but first things first, I need to finish my phd!

Okay, that’s all for now. Thanks for understanding, and I look forward to seeing you in and out of the field.

Good Birding!

David
