So relatable, in a nutshell how I left indoor jobs for several years 😅

Ever wonder what the sweet call of the red-winged blackbird sounds like when there are hundreds of them singing all at once? Cacophony! You're welcome 🐦

Butterflies are ambassadors to the insect world. Let's support research and policy to protect them.
This checkerspot was in the mountains of Western Idaho, where tall conifer forests are interspersed by wildflower meadows and talus slopes.

What a day to leave my camera at home! Spotted a prairie falcon and later, an American goshawk, yesterday on our winter raptor survey routes.
I haven't seen a goshawk in years. This one was sitting on a bare branch, preening and being extremely cute (as opposed to murderous) #birds #birding
