@jennifermach.bsky.social you might find that lichen article of interest for your #PlantAwareness and birds column

I'm delighted to see Braiding Sweetgrass on that list and can recommend, 💯. #PlantAwareness

*Almost didn't get past the first one... I love a good cottonwood/aspen (Populus spp.). Live fast, grow huge, propagate clonally, make fluff, die young. By no small coincidence, my summer newsletter column features these amazing trees.

Join @chicagobirder.bsky.social to read it! #PlantAwareness

Birds and peanuts! Two great types of organisms that go great together! Yes, just working on #PlantAwareness column on #Peanuts for Chicago Birder and thinking about geocarpy.

Speaking of #IAmWriting, I'm working on a column (probably a series) about #gardening to attract #birds. I like to recommend a book with each #PlantAwareness column. There are an absolute ton of books on this topic. Any of my plant or birding peeps have a favorite?

Selfie with my #PlantAwareness column about #DeadTrees for the @chicagobirder.bsky.social newsletter. Nice to see a physical copy and thanks to the COS for the volunteer appreciation event!

Screenshot from an instagram reel about the grass in the Bad Bunny half time show. Text reads "Oh to be a blade of Bad Bunny Grass" and the images shows a whole bunch of people in grass costumes on the football field.

So much love for the #grass in the #BadBunny half time show––brings joy to my #PlantNerd heart! 💚 #PlantAwareness 💚

Thank you, bookmarking this whole thread!! I usually do a "book corner" for my #PlantAwareness column in the @chicagobirder.bsky.social newsletter––this and the moss book would make a great pair!

I was thinking about this post as I was doing some research for my #PlantAwareness column on the topic of #birds and flowers. Wanted to read the original "abominable mysteries" letter from Darwin to Hooke. And I still want to read the original letter...

Beautiful!! I just finished an article about birdseed for my #PlantAwareness column for the @chicagobirder.bsky.social newsletter––there was so much cool stuff about sunflowers that I had to split sunflower and safflower into their own column!

Cooper's Hawk perched on the branch of a dead tree. The bark is peeling off the branch and encrusted with lichens. The bird is medium-sized with a brow-streaked breast, fierce glare, brown wings, yellow feet with big talons, and a black-and-white banded tail. Photo by M. Rogus, Montrose Point, Chicago, Oct. 6, 2025

Hey, a little #DeadTree appreciation of my own––look at this superb perch, with the bark starting to peel off providing opportunities for insects and insect-eating birds. Loving those #lichens too. Oh and a Cooper's Hawk, yeah. 🪶 #PlantAwareness

Landscape photographs featuring animals and plants positioned either in the foreground, or in the middle ground. 1: Both plant and animal in the foreground; 2: Animal in the foreground, plant in the middle ground; 3: Both plant and animal in the middle ground; 4: Plant in the foreground, animal in the middle ground. The positions of the animals (cow, deer) and plants (birch tree, spruce tree) were varied digitally, creating four distinct combinations for each photograph.
