"Forest Attendant" Black-Capped Chickadee 5"x7" Oil on panel

Chickadees are wonderful in so many ways. They're often the first birds to investigate a new situation, and other birds watch & follow them to find food sources. The friendly local 'dees often bring other birds to my yard, to my delight.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Anchiornis. Detail from a drawing from 2019.

A new paper by Kiat et al indicates that Anchiornis probably couldn't fly.

(But I still think it might have been capable of 'falling with style'.)

The last leaves of autumn glow even brighter to a hungry pair of Therizinosaurus, bulking up for a long winter. These strange dinosaurs are some of my favorites, and though they're slow movers, they made it just in time to be included in my new calendar!

I really hate to say this, it hurts in every possible way, but this current administration is making me *glad* I never made a full time museum career work.

Someone should license this photo for the next Penguin Classics edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Single shot 70mm from yesterday. Ghostly. Etherial. And a photo I'll probably never be able to top!

you love to see it
UPDATE: The first batch of *election day votes* has now been counted... and they broke for Ewing.

He still leads 54% to 46%.

That's now a total of 63K votes. (I was wrong in my first post in this thread: 75K ballots were cast in April.)

Looking good for Ewing, but now no updates... for an hour.
