It's that time of year again. If you're in Scotland and go see the sunrise on a partly clear morning near the Cobbler in Arrochar, you might get lucky and see the grass dramatically lit up by the sun before it hits the mountains.

Crested, or #cristate #saguaros are a rare (est. 1 in 200,000) and little understood phenomenon here in the #Sonoran #Desert. Suspected causes range from frost and lightning damage to genetic mutation to hormonal changes to geomagnetism.

Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

In Arizona, the brown-skinned, Spanish speaking people have been there, many of them, upwards of 15,000 years, whereas the English speakers likely slipped over the border last weekend. But ICE can't get its mind around actual history. newrepublic.com/post/203195/...

Redpoll! One of the older gentlemen I see a lot while birding told me that it's been four years since we've had them in Chicago. I saw one a week ago, but couldn't get a pic. NOW I'm happy. 😂 #birds

We report: after the fact, we think we drove through the rainbow, or by it, or under it. We cannot recall how it went exactly, although there were a lot of light and colours, and the rain glittered. And then, the rainbow faded so soon anyway, the whole moment felt like a dream.

This is such a good point, I'm always looking for weird angles to use as ref, but never think to upload them myself. You've inspired me to upload this snow bunting butt to Macaulay right now.

Fascinating & foreboding that the mammal-contagious variant of bird flu that's killed thousands of pinnipeds in the southern hemisphere hasn't made its way north yet. I guess birds aren't carrying that strain & the tropical oceans are a mammal migratory barrier? 🦊🪶🧪🌎
