John (H. sapiens) with some petrified (rock-hard), knoty wood from Antarctica... Might I have deep rooted issues?
#SavePRI 🧪⚒️🌲

The Paleontological Research Institution in Ithaca, NY, has been in financial trouble for a while. I'm biased because I currently have my life-size giant snail and clam on display, but they're a bunch of great people doing great work.

Cornell Lab Bird Cams - Red-Tailed Hawks

#RedTailedHawk #RTHA

The unlikely comeback of America’s most endangered songbird Conservationists went to dramatic lengths to save the birds, including pumping boiling hot water into the ground to ward off fire ants.

In 2014 when I started working with Grasshopper Sparrows in Kansas, I was so sure that Florida Grasshopper Sparrows would be extinct within the decade.

Now look at this headline 🥹

www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

Now they are both up on the railing!! Is this a drill? Probably - I'm still so excited 🪶

Look at em teasing me with flight! 🪶

Day 30 of #BirbFest2025 - Black Headed Gull.

Since I've been working with a somewhat white paper, a bird which is primarily white, is kinda difficult to work with, so opted to try something different from few references.
