250 million birds flew across America last night, tracked by radar. Migration season is upon us, and it’s wilder than you could imagine. Birdcast’s live migration maps and forecasts (from Cornell Lab of Ornithology) are brilliant, and you can find them here. birdcast.org/migration-to...

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Do you like birds? My new book THE BIRDING DICTIONARY is out today wherever you buy books! This little book is deeply silly and full of love, and I hope you'll laugh and maybe enjoy an obscure fact or two.
The cover of a book called The Birding Dictionary: A Tongue-in-cheek guide for people who find themselves obsessed, against all logic and reason, with birds, with a quote from David Sibley that says "Best. Dictionary. Ever" and a drawing of a Vermilion Flycatcher pooping on a pair of binoculars.

Night snorkeling in the redwoods to find an old friend. I posted that I was going to go look for this individual last week & I found the same one (I thiiink)! In the same deep pool I saw it in a year ago. A neotenic california giant salamander that never metamorphosed & never left the water. 🦎🌎
A large neotenic adult california giant salamander underwater at the bottom of a cold stream at night. Its skin is bumpy, perhaps a sign of trematode infection and despite its large size the gills are small as the cold flowing water is well oxygenated.

Brilliant! Rather than boycott Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, some Democratic lawmakers are inviting former federal workers to the speech on Tuesday as a way to protest the mass firings and funding cuts that have defined Trump’s first month back in office, per NYT.
