Albatrosses listen to the ocean to find their way Albatrosses follow infrasound signals from the ocean to find feeding grounds and optimal flight conditions.

15 out of 22 #albatross species are threatened with #extinction. To raise awareness of this #conservation crisis, we celebrate #WorldAlbatrossDay on June, 19th.

On that occasion, I share a great science fact about albatrosses in my latest newsletter. πŸͺΆπŸ§ͺ

So happy my (sort of) review essay on Is a River Alive? by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social is out in the world!

This sweet young Fir broken in a recent March wind/snow storm. We will stand her up with a prosthetic trunk and tender her recovery. We have other trees who have recovered this way.
