I wanted a birding adventure game & there weren't any.
Nearly 4 years into building this now. FT job, a toddler & a baby make it a marathon. But day by day we're getting closer...

Feather Trail is on Steam & you can wishlist it: store.steampowered.com/app/2857180/...

Took my last bird walk in AUS this morning… rather than chasing birds for my life list, I tried somewhere that would just be active and could let me enjoy the temporary familiarity I’ve built up. Still had some good luck though, including the treat of a channel-billed cuckoo erupting from the canopy

can't get over the fact that this is a mundane urban bird for australians

Not sure of the species yet but I think this is a coolskink AKA snow-skink, one of the endemic Carinascincus spp. adapted to cool weather in TAS

I've wanted to move everywhere we've visited in AUS, especially Tasmania, but I have a growing suspicion it may be more related to doing no computer job work, instead basically hiking, going to zoos, playing with my kids, taking bird walks while they're napping, and drinking 2 beers

terrible photo of a gannet I took with way too narrow aperture, but if you pretend it was on purpose, and/or an oil painting, it seems important

Discarding your Latin, the genera Macropus (kangaroos) and Notamacropus (wallabies) make perfect sense to a burgerbrain like me
