Steppe Eagle perched on a low concrete edge in the grasslands of Tal Chhapar, Rajasthan. The large brown raptor is shown in profile, with layered dark feathers, a powerful hooked beak marked by a bright yellow gape line, and a watchful, intense expression against a soft, muted background of dry scrub.

Steppe Eagle.

📍Tal Chhapar, Rajasthan.

Not only is this what you would do if you were trying to kill a technology and a company developing it ….

it's what you would do if you were trying to kill *people*.

Weedy Seadragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus). The extravagant looking appendages are for camouflage so they blend with kelp and seaweed to avoid predators. #wildlife #nature #ocean #biology #photo

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Congratulations

Did you know that Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and José Carreras performed "Nessun Dorma” at the Dodgers Stadium in 1994. It captivated 1.3 billion viewers worldwide the night before the US World Cup final.

They didn’t sing in English.

We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

For what reason(s)?

beautiful capture

Black-and-white vintage portrait photograph of Edith Clarke (1883–1959), the pioneering American electrical engineer, inventor of the Clarke Calculator (a graphical tool for solving power transmission problems), and the first woman to earn a master's degree in electrical engineering from MIT. She is shown in a close-up head-and-shoulders view against a dark, neutral background, gazing directly at the camera with a composed, intelligent expression. Clarke has distinctive curly hair neatly styled, and she wears thin, round pince-nez glasses perched on her nose with a thin bridge and side arms. She is dressed in a formal dark blouse or jacket. The classic early-to-mid-20th-century studio portrait style conveys her trailblazing role in electrical engineering and power systems innovation. #EdithClarke #WomenInEngineering #ElectricalEngineering #ClarkeCalculator #InventorsHallOfFame #MIT #MITAlum #PowerSystems

Female Harpy Eagle, Guyana

Back to more new photos from Guyana.

We were so lucky to arrive at the Harpy Eagle nesting site—perhaps our top goal of the trip—and catch both adults coming and going while they were working on rebuilding the nest. It was my first time seeing adult Harpies... magnificent!

For an all too brief moment, a giraffe is enveloped in a sea of golden light, a short-lived respite from the harsh, arid and unforgiving land it calls home. Somewhere in wonderful Namibia.

The real gold medalists from this Olympics are the drone operators — some fantastic views of the downhill skiers and now the speed skaters!

Enjoyed accompanying information

While walking along the rocky shore, I noticed something strange mixed in with a group of brittle stars.

It looks like an octopus that thinks it’s a brittle star 🐙⁡

A Great Grey Owl sits on a fence post. Warm, autumn colours are seen in the background.

After last year's irruption year (explosion in numbers), things have been much slower this year on the Great Grey Owl front. They are such beautiful creatures. #wildlife #owls

A great blue heron prepares to swallow a trout after a successful fishing expedition in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the heron’s head fills the frame as it grips the 12-inch fish, head first, in its beak. The background is rippled pond water. The vivid blue-violet skin around its yellow eye is especially striking, a coloration common among great blue herons during the breeding season. Photo by Kort Duce

An Evening Grosbeak shares a midday meal in the snow with some American Goldfinches just after the New Year has arrived. What I find curious about this image is the similarity of colouration versus the contrast in size of the two species.

The Evening Grosbeak lunches with her little, similarly attired friends.
