I work in Yellowstone conservation. I read too much, and bird a lot. Ph.D, Volunteer firefighter, green card holder, opinion sharer. Ask me about Great-tailed Grackles.

It might be cold, it might be windy, but the morning dog walk is pretty.

I received a notification from the bird banding lab that a northern saw-whet owl we banded in Bondurant WY in Oct 2024 was recaptured at Redberry Lake, Sask. in Sept 2025. A straightline distance of more than 1,000 km (600 miles). The picture is of a saw-whet, but not the bird in question. #birds

Beavers are impressive engineers. They dammed our local river and now have a nice pond until spring flooding washes it away some time in April. #beavers #beaverdam

The Dollar Lake fire started yesterday. It grew to 700 acres by the end of the day and is now blowing up. Seems to be creating lenticular clouds in the air the flowing past it . #pyrocumulus.

A bad record shot of a female Great-tailed Grackle in Pinedale, Wyoming. She’s been hanging around the local supermarket and gas station for the past three summers. #addbirder

Posting figures without context isn't informative. Nor is asking an LLM to generate a figure that shows Washington D.C. with the highest murder rate. Here's a better one. While high, D.C.'s murder rate dropped 30% from 2023 to 2024. And that without calling up federal law enforcement officers.
