Woodland skippers are the cutest! Today, I had one try to drink my coffee. I did not share.

Yes! Nighthawks are very active during the day! I hope you get to experience them diving near you. It’s an exhilarating experience!

Y’all! Today I saw Rufous Hummingbird porn before my very eyes… this lady comes in for a drink, the male chases her, she hides in the sword fern until he does a fancy dance in front of her, he leaves to do a territorial display which she comes out to watch. Rinse and repeat. It was effing amazing! 🪶

Do folks here know about March Mammal Madness? #2024MMM is a tournament where nerds, I mean Scientist-Narrators, like me use the scientific literature to tell stories in collaboration with artists, educators, learners & more to answer the age old question… if Species A & B interacted WHO WOULD WIN?!
