Two vividly orange female cardinals care diligently for their nest. One pauses mid-flight to share her foraging spoils with her partner; their interlocked beaks looking quite similar to a kiss. Her partner stands watch over their unusual clutch of eggs— each one a completely different size, shape and color. They rest soundly within the cranium of a warm human skull. A spray of pink and white flowers border the family, adding a sense of resilience and beauty.

And with that big an eye you’d definitely be able to spot them if there were any! 👁️

The most sound marketing strategy.

Board book style page of snails, showing one that is very big (Archachatina marginata ovum) and one that is very small (Acanthinula aculeata). The small one is monumentally tinier than the big one.

Always snails.

It was great fun! So amazing to have access to very cool collections 🦤

Late Afternoon Light ~ Cyril Cox, 1958

Book cover of Hunkin’s almost everything there is to know. It is green with good hand drawn lettering. Text says: ALMOST EVERY HIN THERE IS TO KNOW BY HUNKIN THOUSANDS OF ODD FACTS HUNDREDS OF RIDICULOUS EXPERIMENTS IDEAL FOR ALL AGES FROM 8-80

Alongside countless animal encyclopaedias, I really loved Hunkin’s almost everything there is to know, which had little black and which cartoon panels explaining almost everything there is to know!

This is RAD. Another result of changing climates is population overlap and hybridization. I’ve always wanted to see a Steller’s jay x blue jay hybrid. Now I need to add this to the birdy bucket list!
