WOW. Do you have any other terms from polar bear guiding?

I love this.

I love this

What's a fun piece of slang/terminology that's unique to your hobby? It's for a talk I'm working on. I'll start: a "hot" is a venomous snake.

A lineup of several miniature original paintings (ACEO cards) matted in black: California golden poppies ($75), Acorn Woodpecker ($45), Scrub Jay ($45), Succulents ($100), Brown Pelican ($75). The photo also shows my latest sticker design, a mountain lion.

New ACEO original paintings have been added to the shop! All of these come pre-matted and ready to put into a standard 4x6" frame for your convenience. I've also matted the pelican that was previously listed. Browse available pieces here: thornwolf.com/shop #BSNM #ACEO #AnimalArt #ArtShop

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, two people are standing in the forest, wearing backpacks. The red-haired person says "I've never hiked with a naturalist before! I'm excited. I hope I brought enough water." The brown-haired person says "I'm sure you did. Let's go!" In panel 2, the brown-haired person points at various nature features. "Look, a red eft! It's the teenaged form of the Eastern Newt. Ooh, wintergreen! Wanna smell it? I hear a Chestnut-sided Warbler. Glacial till. Rubble of the last ice age!" In panel 3, the naturalist points to more nature items. "This forest seems early successional. Aw, a leafcutter bee with a piece of leaf! Wow, deer poor! Wow, fungi growing out of the deer poop!!" The red-haired person says "Okay, but..." In panel 4, the red-haired person continues, "It's been an hour and we've walked three feet." The brown-haired person exclaims, looking excited, "Three amazing feet!"

Sometimes you make a new comic, and sometimes you redraw an old one because you lost the original high res file 😅

Bluebells have such a nice gradient of purple to blue

Does anyone know a good nonprofit that is trying to raise awareness of/stop inhumane treatment at ICE camps?

I'd heard this once or twice from kids at workshops I teach, but I didn't know whether to believe it. I can't even imagine.

Hi Doc!!! I don’t have any pet snakes at the moment, but I do love them.

Wow really? That’s so good to hear. I got bullied hard enough that it damaged me for a while.

For folks who don't know, I make a quarterly strip for Cornell's Living Bird magazine, and it's so fun to do.

I'm so happy to hear that!

I'm watching this and actually crying laughing

Hah, nice one.

A digital illustration of a fish crow, a white breasted nuthatch, and a female red bellied woodpecker surrounding a big birthday cake. The text up top reads "Happy Hatch Day, Rosemary!". The nuthatch says "There's no seeds on this thing!" to the woodpecker, who responds with "Yuck!", while the crow thinks "mmm yummy cake :)"

🐦Happy belated bday to our friendly neighborhood bird, @rosemarymosco.com! :V

An image that says "Join my mailing list Flight Club: buttondown.com/rosemarymosco. It's short, monthly, and contains a weird bird of the month." There's an image of a cute cartoon turkey vulture with a heart over his head, carrying a letter.

Here's my monthly plug for my newsletter. It always has one weird bird of the month

A poster by Bird and Moon for Flap dot org. In a comic-style format, a bird explains for humans that window collisions kill billions of birds worldwide each year. Birds don't really get windows, and instead see a safe space past the glass, reflected outdoor plants, a reflected rival bird (themselves), or outdoor plants viewed through transparent corner windows. What can you do? There are cheap, easy, attractive fixes. Create a visual barrier for birds to see using window tape for vertical lines, string or ribbon hanging down, decals, or window film. Put these on the outside of the window, spaced 2 inches or 5 centimeters apart or less. You can also make window strikes less deadly. Keep bird feeders and baths close to windows. One point five feet or a half-metre away or closer. You can also u screens on the outside of windows. To learn more visit FLAP dot org. Thank you, bird hero.

It's the start of National Wildlife Week in Canada and the start of spring migration, so it's the perfect time to make sure your windows are as bird-friendly as they can be.

This great poster by @rosemarymosco.com summarizes the problem of window collisions; learn what you can do at birdsafe.ca

I love following bug people

Yes I know that, but this one uses it for meat

I posted about this on my Facebook page, but I'm heartbroken about the God Squad's recent decision to allow oil and gas companies to harm Rice's Whales. You can learn more about these whales here: www.ourgulfwhale.org

A drawing titled "Wild Rabbit vs. Easter Bunny". On the left, there's a wild cottontail bunny sitting down looking alert. On the right, there's a cartoonish Easter Bunny wearing a little polkadot vest and standing next to some colorful eggs. The wild bunny is labeled "Eyes on the sides of the head to watch for predators." and the Easter Bunny "Forward-facing eyes to hunt for meat." Wild bunny: "Active all year." Easter Bunny: "Only active in Spring - otherwise in diapause as a cyst?" Wild bunny: "Walks on four legs." Easter Bunny: "Unusual bipedal stance." Wild bunny: "Plain brown and white fur." Easter Bunny: "Distinctive vest-like markings." Wild bunny: "Gives birth to live young." Easter Bunny: "Steals and redistributes eggs; parasitic reproductive strategy?"

Few are brave enough to acknowledge the truth.

Border wall to run through National Butterfly Center, CBP says A border wall could run through the National Butterfly Center and other areas previously exempted by Congress. CBP told Border Report on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, that 34 miles of prime border wall ste...

The non-profit National Butterfly Center is a 100 acre (0.4 sq km) botanical garden located along the US-Mexico border near Mission, TX.

It hosts 200 wild butterfly species on migrations to & from Mexico.

And now it will be a construction zone so we can build a rusting metal wall.

The same cassowary dad sculpture as the original post but now complete with a shiny layer of varnish.

The cassowary chick on its own in the palm of my hand, about the size of or an olive.

Different angle of cassowary dad.

Cassowary dad now glazed and glamorous.

Yes, agree on deer toe bones!

No, please share!

Hmm sounds like she needed a hero to go and get her chips but none could be found
