The Seed Song
A chipping sparrow is humming to itself while hopping around a forest floor in early spring. New plants are sprouting through fallen years from the year before. Zoom in on the bird in the second panel as it sings "I never had a seed that I didn't like / dry ones hard ones sharp ones even taste alright / if you don't eat them fast, they turn into a grass! / if you let them be, they become a tree!" It stops to munch on some morsels of sparrow food, whatever that is, at the base of a plant that towers over its head. It looks up and up. The final frame is zoomed out to see the top of the plant, which is a trillium. The sparrow cheerily says "Good morning!". And that's how you make a comic!

Qingshan Lake Water Forest in Lin'an District, Hangzhou is a viral attraction sometimes called "Matcha Lake" for the emerald green duckweed (subfamily Lemnoideae). These black swans (Cygnus atratus) & their cygnets are enjoying a nutritious buffet of aquatic plants. Let's learn about duckweed.

Is it a bird or is it cotton candy on a stick? An American bittern looking especially round standing on one leg at the edge of the marsh as it stares straight at the camera. #birds

For #elegant #birds I think my top choice would be Cedar Waxwings! There was a group of around 70 of them all feasting on web worms that had spun cocoons all over the leaves of the locust trees!

A few of the fancy sparrows have started to come through on their trip south. This juvenile White-crowned sparrow hasn’t developed the black and white striped headgear of the adults yet, but it’s still fancy! It dropped in for a quick drink, and a bath in the creek! #Birds 🪶
A juvenile White-crowned sparrow in a shallow rocky stream. The water is all black and the surrounding rooms are pink and lit by the sun. The sparrow is mottled brown with distinct brown stripes on its head. The stripes will be black on stark white when it becomes an adult. The sparrow is reflected in the black stream.

Powerful Owlet from a few dusks ago. It's interesting how quickly they switch from being slightly alarmed and surprised by everything when they first come out of the hollow. #brisbane #birds #wildoz

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a horseshoe crab watches as a variety of prehistoric creatures swim towards an ethereal light. An ammonite calls back to the crab, “come on, horseshoe crab! We’re all evolving!” Panel 2: the horseshoe crab stays in position and replies, “nahh that’s crazy” Panel 3: the horseshoe crab is superimposed in front of a future premonition: a rather miserable-looking human slouched in the glow of a desktop computer. The horshoe crab swims away and says, “good luck tho”

Much love to the good folks at @thewaroncars.bsky.social for fighting the noble fight . #art #painting #fuckcars
A knight riding a bicycle brandishes an old sword. He has a thick mustache. Behind him, there is a gigantic bonfire in which is a gigantic Ford truck that has been split vertically in two by the knight.

Text above the truck reads "proud soldier in the war on cars"

This painting does not advocate destroying people's cars but it is an expression of my loathing for the omnipresence of the car in modern culture

If 90% of all cars vanished overnight, including my own, I would not be upset

Illustration of a Wilson's Warbler perched on a near-vertical branch in front of a sea of warm lush greens. The bird is mostly bright yellow with an orange tint to the face, a black cap that shines with subtle blue iridescence, olive-green wings and a gray tail. Its big black eye makes it look extra cute!

panel 4: He is unaffected because owls possess zygodactyl feet, which means their fourth toe is capable of swivelling backwards.
