🪶 In the Ojibwe language, the word for chickadee is gijigijigaaneshiinh. To hear it pronounced (it sounds really cool) visit ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/m...

Difficult to read but important. For those unaware, the IUCN Red List was updated, and 61% of birds species are noted to now be in decline. Habitat loss and degradation are the most prevalent cause.

Oh I also became a cat mom this past year. Milo was a kitten we took from a litter that was living under our porch! He’s nice and spoiled now :)

Anyone here good with hydrangeas? I’m unsure if mine got hit with a fungus or something… we did have bark beetles unfortunately this summer.

I checked some stems and they are alive! I just don’t know whats wrong and what to do for next spring :( Location is northern VA!

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

One of my fav things I got this year was a hummingbird feeder bird buddy! Unfortunately, the humbums have left my area for warmer climates but here’s a video of a lovely male RTHU who came to visit a bit ago :)

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Oh man! Hi everyone, it’s been a while!

A lot has happened over the last year and I needed to step away for a bit. I wasn’t feeling inspired and truthfully, I went through some really difficult times.

But I am back! And hopefully with more birds :)

Here’s an American Redstart for tax!

Hi all! If we were mutuals on twitter and I haven’t followed you back, it’s because I’m god awful at remembering. I really stopped using that twitter after a while anyways.

Hoping to post more about my work here! Will try my best!

Stay strong and resilient!

Wolves are hot on everyone's tongues. Screw it, I'm yoteposting.

Check the ALT. That's where all the text is. This is fairly basic stuff. Later on, I'll try to share lesser-known information about coyotes.

Never read the comments about wolf reintroduction if you want to maintain your sanity.

Like I am legitimately concerned of failing. My experience has not been great in terms of my mental health, but I know I have one committee member in my corner. I don’t anticipate it being easy. And I hope it’s just revisions and I pass. IDK so nervous.

my defense is this Thursday and I am extremely nervous

almost 3 million birds migrated over my county last night! I love this time of year so much.
