The trees around the observatory were absolutely alive with acorn woodpeckers that afternoon. We don't have these guys here so i was very enamored with them and couldn't stop watching them fly around when we were chatting at the top!

Bright blue day, sun perfectly lighting up an acorn woodpecker perched facing a tree that's completely full of holes, many of them with acorns stuffed inside

Part 2/2
On page 5, they fly up through a spiral of aurora. He says "We could stop flying!" and she says "We'd lose time if we stopped!" She says "Do you think this thing is dangerous? Is it... alive? Can it hear us?" And he replies "I don't know." Pause. "But I like the way it matches your feathers." On page 6, the female bird pauses, aurora reflecting in her eye and dancing behind her, close to the same color as her feathers. She says "Let's keep flying." They fly through swirls of green and pink aurora. On page 7, they fly through the aurora that arcs and dances. They're having fun. A close up on the female's eye shows the aurora reflecting. A shooting star streaks by. The birds fly on through the night.

With the aurora popping up again last night, I thought I'd repost this adventure from last year. I drew this when the great @nepeteaa.bsky.social wondered what night-migrating songbirds might make of it all. Part 1/2
A seven-page comic. On page 1, the sun begins to set over an autumnal scene in a forest. The sun continues to set, reflected in the eye of a bird. The sun finishes setting, reflected in the bird's eye and zoomed out a bit. The bird has various hues of stormy blue feathers. The sun has fully set and the stars are out, and the bird, a female Black-throated Blue Warbler, says "It's time." On page 2, the bird says "Ready for another night of migration?" to a male Black-throated Blue warbler, who replies "I ate all the good bugs in this forest, so, sure." She says "Okay. Let's do this." They take off from a branch, saying "Up up up." They hit their cruising altitude and fly through the starry darkening sky. On page 3, they are flying along and the male says "I think this trip is going pretty good so far-" And the female interrupts "Wait." There's a green reflection in her eye. She says "There's something behind us." They turn and see the eerie glimmer of aurora. The male says "Oh" On page 4, the male says "What is... Is that wildfire smoke?" And the female says "I don't think so." They book look alarmed. He says "Should we fly faster? Try to get away?" and she says "No, now it's in our flight path, too!" The aurora has spread and dances through the sky. Some of it becomes pink. He says "It's everywhere!" and she says "I... I don't understand."

Important thread about your settings on here, and how they restrict, well, everything

Remember that people do abuse these tags to keep you from seeing content they don't like. You may think you don't want to see threats but conservatives flag anything hostile toward their Great Leader as threats, for example. Keep that in mind as you pick your filters.

It's our LAST STREAM for two weeks, since I'm departing for the UK and #SVP2025 tomorrow! Tune in now for #Paleontology Q&A, a discussion of why scientific conferences are important, and then our usual Thursday BIRDSday festivities

Thank you to all the amazing folks who showed up with open hearts and open wallets and helped us raise $375 for @porpoiseorg.bsky.social today as part of #SaveTheVaquita Week!

We drew 20 Vaquitas, which is sadly also our most optimistic estimate of how many are currently still alive.

So uhhh are we still supposed to delete social media apps off our phones when we travel to the states so border agents can't demand to check our posts? Or was that just paranoia? Asking for me, flying to san diego in less than 48 hours...

Ms Rachel is a real one
msrachelforlittles o .. • Dear President Obama, I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza." Palestinians have families, too. This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide. I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world. Love, Ms Rachel

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying
Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money
Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.
