British Antarctic Survey 🐧 @bas.ac.uk · 07/10/2026

The world's largest penguin colony has lost its title 🐧 A remote volcanic island near Antarctica has lost over half a million chinstrap penguins since 2011, a decline so steep it could see the species reassessed as 'Endangered'. 🧵1/2

young caracara was eating bugs off of another cow, then jumped on top of this one and stared into its soul #birds

this brown jay (piapia, urraca) is a juvenile -yellow bill and eyering give it away- but at a distance of about a meter its 'pia pia' calls were loud enough to make my ears ring #birds

A brown jay protrait - the yellow bill and eye ring mark it as a juvenile.

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

competitive pokemon is inherently somewhat luck based so you may think this primes me for the current gambling epidemic but it actually insulates me from it because i will literally see something with 90% odds and be like "yeah i've missed that play rough before" and not take the risk

Literature seems to be in retreat—not just in the Anglosphere, but everywhere. Baffler no. 81 assembles writers (and translators) from across the world to describe what postliteracy looks like in South Korea, in Mexico, in Sudan. thebaffler.com/salvos/brain-rot-without-borders

There’s no point in denying it anymore: literature as we know it is well on its way to becoming a lost art.

Jays to the World Series! An action shot from a recent trip to Toronto #birds

A blue jay takes off from the ground to chase a flying insect.

Of the three baseball birds this one was the last I photographed. Oriol was easy since it migrates to Costa Rica, but I had to travel for the Jay and Cardinal

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today. Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

Reposting this masked tityra for #birdoftheday (primarily white birds). I feel like white is pretty common for water birds but rare otherwise? Wonder why that is.

A mostly white plump bird with black facemask and feathertips. It has a red eye ring and beak. People call these pajaro chancho here - pigbirds - for the sounds they make.

Every time I talk about tityras I have to google how to spell it and even then I'm sure I fucked it up somewhere lol

Something peaceful for your timeline if you need it. Red-legged honeycreeper #birds 🇨🇷

A stunning blue bird with bright red legs and black wings sits on top of a papaya. It has a light blue crest. I don't generally like posting or taking feeder photos, as I don't frequent them and am somewhat unsure that they're good for birds (at least these more exotic ones), but this bird is so beautiful... Please take a moment out of your day for some self care. Be good to yourself and animals.

Alright birdsky, DO I HAVE A FIND FOR YOU! I just saw this one in a group of great tailed grackles, but tons of red winged black birds in the area. No brewers. Leucistic? A rough, rare, molt? A different bird altogether? A vitamin deficiency? It was acting and normally and no birds bothered it 🪶

What looks like a leucistic great tailed grackle looking at the camera to the left, it has a mostly white head with some dark spots and brown and black with also some white. The eye appears to be yellow so that tells me maybe it's not leucistic

Same bird, but you can tell it's left leg doesn't have many feathers

Same bird, showing it doesn't have a long tail

First warbler of the season! Look at the claws on this little guy #birds 🇨🇷

Woah what is that tiny zebra doing up on that tree? Haha no. It's the aptly named white and black warbler - a tiny white bird with horizontal black stripes. It has large orange claws it uses to climb on branches, much like a treeceeper.

Kingfisher! I find it cool that one of the main things these guys share with motmots is that they make nests in dirt walls. It's like finding out your cousin also shares your weird behaviors such as storing ketchup in the pantry. #birds #costarica

Ringed kingfisher sits on a branch, its back to the camera. Crest is fluffed; blue overall except for white neck ring and red underside. Its looking pensive; what could this little guy be thinking about? Probably fish. You can eat fish during lent, friend. It's fine.

Finally found these! I've been hearing their calls for months. Called "saltarín toledo" in Spanish because their call sounds like someone calling out to "to-le-do". Long-tailed manakin (chiroxiphia linearis) #birds #costarica

Two long-tailed manakins sit on a branch in the dense woods. The left one is an adult male: black body with bright red cap and blue coat over its back. It has the characteristic strand-like double tail. The other is either an immature male or a female: olive brown with a red cap. Both have bright orange feet.
