Real “no gods, no masters” energy with these pigeons. We have some jackdaw couples who do much the same in the local train station! I’ll give them a nod on my way into class later this morning.

Stunning!

He could choose to be Kenneth Anger, but no.

For those of us who seldom spend time in Australia but have a great deal of experience with Toronto, 🦝 seems more plausible than the lizard people! I’m looking forward to checking out your paper.

Very nice. I saw my first oyster catcher of the season yesterday morning and I knew spring was here and I'd be receiving temporary respite from the Scandinavian gloom.

Living abroad means I still have to deal with the ridiculous American tax system or pay an accountant a pretty penny, while simultaneously experiencing the sensible nature of other countries taxation bureaucracies, The US is even more irritating when this point of comparison is brought into the mix.

Wow!

Yes, it does!

Two gulls, one spreading its wings and the other landing next to the first on top of a garbage bin. The first gull has had its fill of some discarded cake and its beak is smeared with white frosting.

Bad all around. The staff there were fantastic and they supported crucial research with their programs.

That adaptation really stuck with me. I think you can find a pretty lo-fi copy on YouTube.

I had no idea remora were that large! I was imagining something about 8 or 9 inches long like a big plecostamus.

I recall clearly the first time I heard it mentioned, and my Canadian friend trying to explain it to me, and his inevitable face palm.

What an adorable and nearly invisible critter!

I’m ready for the next 130 plus shots!

Yep, I recall having my orange and banana confiscated via land passage from Alberta to Montana. Fortunately, it wasn't too troubling. I know why, but they can take a less militant approach to biosecurity.
