I don’t know why I always forget about BlueSky, but this recording from April is one of my favorite podcast episodes I have ever recorded - if you want to be wowed by guano and tickled by misidentification stories, look no further.

Duolingo #Yiddish continues to offer incredibly useful conversational phrases. (But, I mean, what ARE the Lithuanians celebrating today?)

Turns out prairie dogs are even MORE important than we previously realized for supporting healthy grassland communities. All it took was an RC taxidermied badger to find out. (Read the thread to see a picture of said wonder).

Enjoying listening to @hwinkler4real.bsky.social ‘s memoir as I drive, I pulled up to a red light to see this license plate on the car in front of me.

May you find a comfortable lap and a patch of sunshine to nap in this weekend.

Got to spend some time yesterday morning #birding with some of the founders of the Pajareras del Desierto amidst a week of excellent (but indoor) meetings in Hermosillo, Sonora. ¡Gracias, chicas!

I’m reading the Joe Taylor biography and am enjoying figuring out old bird names, such as Man O’ War bird (Magnificent Frigatebird) and Darby Flycatcher (Great Kiskadee). Figuring out “New Mexican Duck” sent me to the 1946 archives of The Auk. Bird names change. People adapt. #BirdNamesForBirds

A smiling white man with large gray sideburns stands in front of the rail of a boat at sea. He is wearing a cinnamon-colored fur coat, has a pair of binoculars with a colorful strap around his neck, and is holding a camera. The ocean and a large white glacier is visible behind him. The words “Joseph W. Taylor BORN TO BIRD” appear at the top and “Ann Taylor” (the author) at the bottom.

My Duolingo Yiddish has progressed enough that this morning I was able to ask the feral cat in my back yard, “Do you come here often, my cat?” (She meowed at me in response.)

This is one of two praying mantises (I think they are Arizona mantises?) that has been hunting by my front porch light for the last few days.
