A bright green bird with a ridiculously long tail. He is perched on a lichen covered branch in dense cloud forest.

We left the lodge at 5AM today to look for this fancy boy and I managed to spot him. 😁Resplendent Quetzals are considered near-threatened due to habit loss. And that tail is real, no April Fools joke here. 🪶

I wonder if people are going to have the same intense reaction to Trans people being banned as they have for a social media site.

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

"Masculine Energy"

Hounds are the overlooked victims of hunting—suffering injuries, death during hunts, or abandonment when they’re no longer useful.

This isn’t heritage; it’s cruelty. Protect the Wild is dedicated to ending hunts once and for all.

Memento Mori is Latin for ’remember that you too will die’ or ‘remember that you are mortal’. Death makes our lives important and meaningful, it creates priority, and gives us perspective to focus on what is important in our lives.

4 panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A snail crawls along the grass under a blue sky. Text: "Behold the snail." Panel 2: The snail continues, looking determined. Text: "While slow, with patience and endurance, it will surely reach its goal." Panel 3: Close-up of the snail with a stern expression. Text: "I'm on my way to get totally shitfaced." Panel 4: The snail crawls toward the setting sun, framed by mountains. Text: "Godspeed."

Slow and steady wins the race

Heron landing while balancing gracefully.

Sharing with you the work of photographer Vernon Chalmers resident of Cape Town. Look him up.

I wish I had taken this photograph portraying the elegant balletic movement of the heron bird. I just love it.

A large black bird with a bright yellow chest and a colorful, long beak perched on a broken tree stump. The beak is predominantly yellow with a maroon base. The bird has a green eye and a striking black and yellow contrast. The background is blurred with lush green foliage.

I have been remiss with my #toucanoftheday posts, but rest assured that the toucans are here. Their absence is completely my responsibility. (The toucans demanded that I let you know that.)
