Ravens are hard birds to beat. They’re smart, look awesome, and apparently will listen to hard rock music with you for hours like this one which sat by my car listening to music with me for an hour

I got to take two of my friends to lifer this wintering chestnut-sided warbler. His face has molted and he’s slowly growing in dark marks on his face and shoulders! Chestnut-sided Warbler 📷🪶

Me in my Echo Chamber
A fish scientist sits at the bottom of a boat, holding a gar (elongate fish), while also surrounded by other gars on the bottom of the boat. All gars were counted and safely released alive. Because gars breathe air, unlike most fish, they can survive out of water for moderate periods of time.
