When you defend your thesis, be sure to acknowledge those who helped you. It takes a lot of time, energy, and emotion to advise students well. It's my job to do that and I don't need a parade, but just seeing my name on a list of helpful people goes a long way in feeling like I was useful

ライチョウちゃん交尾前。雄はいわずもがなですが、雌の肉冠もかなり大きくなっています #birds

A ptarmigan before mating. Like the male, the female's crest is also quite large 🪶

I can photograph these for hours, because every time they move you get a completely different set of colors.

Here's the first piece from the paleocolor project! This is one of nature's top glarers, the Tawny Frogmouth. The project looked at the preserved colors of fossil birds in the clade Strisores, which includes living frogmouths, nightjars, hummingbirds, etc, so I painted living and fossil species 🐡🪶

For some reason, little wattlebirds often look like someone scared the s**t out of them. This was one of dozens at Cox Scrub Conservation Park, SA.

The robot is not a bargaining unit member and must not be given bargaining unit work. Faculty unions should be looking over their contracts right now, figuring out exactly how to grieve or otherwise oppose the introduction of these systems.

Most Herons will hunt by wading through water, but the Least Bittern—bitterns are members of the heron family—will look for food in the water below while clinging to cattails with its long toes.

This female Powerful Owl has recently taken to roosting outside the hollow during the day. Previously she has only had one Owlet each year & has stayed in the nest during the day up until when the Owlet emerged. Maybe a sign it's getting crowded in there & there more is than one?

I’ve been very lucky to see beluga in the Churchill river a number of times, but I’ve never seen anything quite like this. There are a few hundred whales here churning up the water, herding capelin into a bait ball to feed. It was incredible! 🌿🐳youtu.be/sgM21bM0wd8?si=QDNac_tw5hYbmFsm

Encountered a large colony of yellow-headed blackbirds yesterday gorging themselves on insects and yelling at each other. This is one of the males adopting the splay-legged posture typical of them in cattails.

AI is ruining my work. Clients now come and say "make this picture, but a different style that destroys the all details of the original medium, but also the same..." and I try repeatedly to explain why that isn't possible instead of making good art. It closes all creative doors.

And your #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is a particularly clean chinstrap penguin at Barrientos Island, striking a post for the camera like it's not completely out of breath from swimming probably dozens of km back home. Effortless beauty, amiright.

Je ne postais rien parce que j’étais occupé. J’ai fait un poster pour donner à mes professeurs parce que cette année je finis le collège. Ça me stresse énormément de partir, de changer. J’ai besoin de me consoler. Et puis je veux qu’ils ne m’oublient pas.

Great assortment of birds this morning along the Oldman River in southern Alberta. A few examples: Eastern Kingbird, Grey Catbird, Western Meadowlark, and Say's Phoebe.

Theory: any time there is a “Doctor Whatever” supervillain, the heroes could solve the problem much more cheaply by giving them a fat grant and some lab startup money, maybe hiring them a grad student or three.

Have you tried one of the public health offices? That’s where we managed to find some in Lethbridge. Different province but worth a shot.
