Here in the Umbers lab we dabble in ornithology occasionally, mostly because it's so easy. Subsequently, Eleanor Drinkwater, Julia Ryeland & Kate have had a paper on food dunking behaviour in the Australian Magpie accepted pending minor revision in Australian Field Ornithology. Congrats to Eleanor and Julia for driving this publication. Kate's afraid she might never live this down in the entomology circles.
