gorgeous picture ms. rebar! 😍

i chuckle when i see wild asparagus growing along fence lines where birds perch.
i wonder how birds see those red berries, since they have a fourth type of cone cell in the eye (beyond our three) that can see ultraviolet. #Tetrachromacy

Mountain flowers hold a special place in my heart. I would almost get emotional seeing them every spring and summer, after growing up in the city. Didn’t know what tetrachromacy was.

A real-world example is artist Concetta Antico, a color expert and confirmed tetrachromat. Her unique vision enables her to perceive and depict colors that are invisible to most people.

New study suggests a good answer.

Chickens are tetrachromats, meaning they have four types of color receptors in their eyes (humans typically have three).
