Another comic from this past year. Sometimes I'm in awe about how incredibly small birds can be.

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

When I was a kid I learned that some rehabbers raised Chimney Swift babies by having them cling onto a vest (they usually cling to the inside of chimneys, the bats of birds). I wanted to be that person so bad
These swifts are safely warming up after their home was wrecked, and I love that so much.

We rescued several Palm Swifts trapped after Hurricane Melissa. 🌪️
Here’s Iyana, a Life Sciences student, drying off some of the birds. 💚

Ducklings drop down into Lake Michigan through a hole in the concrete at Montrose Pier.

I wish I also had video of the other side, showing the ducklings dropping down into the water. That’s quite a long fall for these little ones! I assume they slid or tumbled down that angled wall.

I made a Herring Gull / Keith Haring joke on Twitter and the famous Kaelin M Warde turned it into a sticker you can preorder now. All proceeds to go the Kindling Collective, a queer-center gear library and education center in Maine!
