Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 11/06/2025When we tag horseshoe crabs, we sometimes have to remove barnacles or slipped snails from their shell I order to place a tag. We made sure that the slipper snails made good on their sacrifice, as a snack for our Horseshoe crab pals. They were happy to accept our snack offering! 030
Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Tonight my daughter tagged her first horseshoe crabs! I’m a very proud mama 🥹 #communityscience #wildlife 090
Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 10/06/2025Red knots on the beach in Queens, NYC. An amazing migrating bird, and absolutely handsome. I get so excited to catch them in their spring finery. #birds 1312

And even if they didn't get cancer, eating shark wouldn't cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at playing basketball. 📷: Andrew Fox 414029
Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 28/05/2025A few gems while waiting for my tour group at work today… American black duck, mourning dove, great egret, Canada geese… all at the Gowanus Canal waterfront. #birds #brooklyn #urbanwildlife 150
Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 27/05/2025A number of common terns are born and raised New Yorkers! I love these birds and their attitude, I wish more of our beach nesting birds took the tern approach to nesting... dive, defend, and defeat. #Birds 081
Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Bird Blep. I love when I catch animals with their tongues out. Extra special when it's a sweet piping plover. #birds 090
Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 26/05/2025I hope it sticks, sounds like no one has spotted it today… that, or it only prefers overcast/rainy days. 010
Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Recent life-bird: Fork-tailed flycatcher on Randall's Island, NYC! Such a great rare #bird, esp for beginners, it's easy to spot, observe, and its flight is easy to follow as it hunts slowly by fluttering and hovering. Big recommend if you are a new birder and want to add a li' spice to your list! 120

Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 03/05/2025Mama American robin tied to her maternal duties, fueled by the various hormones flowing through her veins that compel her to sit really still for long periods. She's doing her damn best and I love her for it. #birds #momlife #wildlife 030
Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 01/05/2025Two weeks in a row we have caught northern pipefish in the Gowanus Canal! How cool is this water noodle?! It is among a more common fish of the Canal, mummichog. All were released alive. #fish 030

Jen Kepler @jenkepler.bsky.social · 16/04/2025There was always a warbler diagram in bio textbooks- At least mine- and it showed a tree and highlight three layers- Each assigned to a species and how they occupied different parts of the tree. For some reason I remember this diagram lol did anyone else have this one? 130
