rufous hummingbirds are known for migrating thousands of miles every year, from mexico all the way to alaska!

Green Day inspired Rexie art.
Hoping to get this scanned and available for download (for free) soon. My disabilities prevent me from protesting in person, so this is me trying to make a contribution.

I've heard one way to protect your shopify listings from being scraped in the new rollout is to password protect your store, so I'm thinking of doing that for a few days just to be safe. Going to decide by tonight

four tiny ceramic animals: a light orange fox, a wolf, an otter or weasel, and a darker orange fox with black dotted markings on its back. they're arranged as if talking to each other.

I'd planned on having a budgie update Feb 1, but these are the last three left of the batch after the festival. We'll see if I have time to make more ♡

Finished up day 1 at the Morro Bay Bird Festival Market ♡ Here is a collaborative piece I made with my booth-mate alongside the official event Tshirt
A small clay shorebird with a long curled beak, strung on a braided cord with beads and shells. The necklace is resting on a teal shirt that has artwork of the same tan and brown shorebird

Hello! I'm an artist obsessed with birds 🐦💜 I primarily sculpt miniatures and jewelry from polymer clay, and my favorite part of the process is photographing them out in nature.

#portfolioday

My website is 8bluebirds.com
A miniature clay figurine of a grey cockatiel with a tiny red ladybug on his head. He is standing on a faded brick pathway next to a pile of oak leaves A handfull of tiny bird charms. Three are green and yellow budgerigars, three are blue and white, and two are blue and yellow. They are held in the palm of a white hand, with a field of clovers in the background A pair of bird earrings perched on a leaf. The birds are a matched male and female pair of fairy wrens. The female is on the left with a grey head and red cheeks. The male is to the right, with a purple head and a black gem on his forehead. A tan and brown shorebird pendant hanging on a brown cord. The bird has beads hanging below him.

My lease here is up in Apr and it’s almost time to make another move. My current roommate is moving out in Jan and I will need to carry an extra $900/mo for the next two mos. I also need at least $4800 to pay for the new place. Read more on the campaign page. Donos and shares both appreciated 🙏💜

If ai bros start flooding bsky the best thing to do is not respond to their posts. Just block. I've learned it's pointless to debate them.

The best thing to do is suffocate them by ignoring.

They are lazy and want instant gratification that's why they use ai..don't give the satisfaction.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.
