During my 7 year stint at The Ohio State University, there was a woman in payroll (I think) who made it an Arthurian quest to get paid as an RA. I suppose she was generally miserable and this was her only way of flexing power.

If 270 was a clock, I'm at the 12, if that location helps you. So maybe try the northern end of the Olentangy trail with your pup some time or Highbanks! I'm not far from the trail.

Interesting! So it's definitely possible it was a Black-capped or a hybrid! Thank you!!

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

On France24 Le Débat earlier today, Prof Karim Emile Bitar called this notion of «defensive attack» as the equivalent of a man afraid of death preemptively committing suicide.

It looks like that Black-capped Chickadee is considered unlikely, because it would be only coming through here during migration. I've never captured it here before, not familiar w when specifically it would be moving through on the way to Canada. All the others were «usual suspects». 3/3

Prof Winnicki sets the phone on the windowsill for 10 minutes, I decided I'm going to walk my Central Ohio neighborhood (which is a National Wildlife Fédération Certified Wildlife Habitat) for 10 minutes. Here's what I "caught" today. 2/

Thanks to ornithologist @skwinnicki.bsky.social for sharing the #TenMinMerlin project! I already use this great FREE app from Cornell Ornithology because 1)birds and 2)my kid and my money go to Cornell so I feel extra inspired to take advantage of this fab app their Ornithology lab created. 1/

For my francophone followers, France24 streaming right now "Le Débat" has a group of experts with incredibly sharp and informed commentary on the war begun by Israel and USA. I'm especially appreciating this Lebanese professor and his commentary.

😂

It's so embarrassing. Please remember that many of us are appalled and disgusted.

This whole is full of whimsy and joy.

Also, if you don't mind, where do you buy them? I know my high school students would love them.

This is wonderful and whimsical and I'm sure brings a smile to students who are otherwise stressed! I would love it if someone was doing this in my son's uni.

It's all just too much.

Squeaky est adorable 😍!

One of my favorite things this time of year is seeing where the local squirrels and chipmunks have randomly buried bulbs as they start to peek up.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

What is #TenMinMerlin? Growing up as a young birder, I knew that I could go to a few magical parks to see migrating birds, like brilliant colorful warblers. I would beg my parents to drive me two hours to Magee Marsh in Nor...

I’ll be storing my data to make graphs with it throughout the spring. If you want to do that as well, I made some tools for you! You can find them in this blog post.

But also, feel free to just share your bird lists! You can quote this thread if you want, I will!

I'm glad you get to experience for a few moments what I live for 6.5 hours every work day 😂 Although it's not always incoherent here. But usually loud.

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

The French word ‘aujourd’hui’ (today) consists of ‘au’ (on the), ‘jour’ (day), ‘de’ (of) and ‘hui’ (today). It was formed during the late Middle Ages.

However, many Romance words come from even older combinations. Some are hardly identifiable as such anymore.
