Hello everyone,

For #SharkWeek, I published a piece about how juvenile tiger sharks in the
Gulf of Mexico are eating birds. These are not the bird species you might
expect -- pelagics, seabirds and shorebirds -- but weirdly, these are
"backyard birds". How are these land-based birds ending up in the sea in
the first place? A bird-watching professor thinks he has the answer (and it
makes more sense than the idea proposed by the original team, too). Oddly,
this interesting research comment has received no mention in the media at
all.

How Did Songbirds End Up In A Shark's Stomach?

As always, please do share widely with your peeps, on social media
(facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) and also on that online megaphone, twitter.
Thanks for reading!
