I captured this Cedar Waxwing returning to its perch in the dim early morning light. I love the impressionistic effect the low light gives the image! ❤️💛❤️ #Waxwing #CentralPark #Birding

All aboard the Grebe Taxi! These very young horned grebe babies ride in style when out on the marsh. Soon they’ll be too big, but for now, Mom needs some navigational assistance! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

More questions to answer as the wheels fall off #ANU leadership. Neither media relations *or* government relations have gone well, so how does the former Interim CMCO manage to land himself a lucrative 'Special Advisor' gig while other staff get cut?

#Beaufortia macrostemon, commonly called the Darling Range Beaufortia. Found mostly in the Northern Jarrah Forest. It’s an unusual species being one of a few with a lignotuber, and has these incredibly eye catching flower heads! Each flower is comprised of 5 stamens fused into groups of 3!

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."

You'd think Elon would be familiar with the phrase "Garbage In, Garbage Out". Having a LLM decide what the correct version of the entirety of human knowledge is, deciding what's "wrong" and deleting "errors", in a recursive fashion, is a profoundly stupid idea, even for Elon.

The Lesson's Motmots have been busy feeding their kids over the last month, but finally I found one of the youngsters spying on me near the kitchen today. The young birds have a bill that's a bit stubbier and they haven't developed their pendant tails, yet. So shy! #birds #nature #costarica

The Superb Lyrebird of Australia's SE forests is the world's largest songbird and best mimic. To attract females to mate, males clear display mounds and dance while mimicking the calls of other birds and even trail bikes and chainsaws. The mating season has just started! #WildOz #birds
