Getting advertisements from the “learning app” Nibble, which is apparently made to guarantee you have no idea what a Red-tailed Hawk, Cedar Waxwing, Great Blue Heron, or Downy Woodpecker looks like in real life 🙄
Also, identifying birds is not ornithology (signed, an ornithologist and a birder)

Whenever I look at an elephant skull, I realize that the images we come up with for dinosaurs are probably wrong. Nobody looking at an elephant skull would guess about that trunk existing unless you’re already familiar with elephants.

You can also use the map in the story to look up vaccination rates in your local schools! This was a HUGE data lift: we reviewed and mapped tens of thousands of individual schools’ data, assembling the most comprehensive public database. And we published this data here: github.com/washingtonpo...

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).
