Just in time for the Bake-Off — and these recipes are calling for the berry best ingredients. 🍓 The smell of freshly baked desserts is intoxicating. We should probably save some for later, but we can't help ourselves. Doing some planting this fall? abcbirds.info/4hH7IwZ

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

This is an insanely riveting read. If you've never heard of the Tylenol murders they’re the reason we have tamper proof caps on over the counter medicine bottles. It sent millions of people into a panic. Even if this new lead is cold the connection is tantalizing www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

Having just returned from the United States, this comic was especially hard hitting…

Bear “That moth is huge”
Rabbit “I think that’s moth man, legend says he’s a harbinger of doom”

Gave the plenary address at the Birdlife Shoalhaven Bird Haven Festival. Here, I’m using one month of daily species richness estimates from acoustic sensors to quantify turnover. In this woodland, what we detected any day is less than half of what’s there in a month—that’s a lot of turnover!

Finders keepers! 🐦‍⬛ There's just something about all-black, a hint of mystery, & a thrifted collection of shiny treasures… it's practically magic, isn't it? Crow-ious for more? abcbirds.info/4A6G7fS Got to go… there's a murder on the dance floor.

Chloe says, “I spy with my little eye a Caspian tern colony in a car park!?”. She refuses to say parking lot because, frankly, it just sounds silly.

Arrakis – Dune – Desert Planet. Chloe adores Frank Herbert.

In Frank Herbert’s landmark novel, Dune, sandtrout were responsible for depleting the planet Arrakis of water. Attempts to terraform Dune into a livable environment mirror the creation of Dune Peninsula Park at Point Defiance on the former slag pile created by the now-defunct ASARCO Smelter.
