Crows are still roosting. Lots are flying in front of my house, heading downtown (they're flying lower than usual, it may have to do with atmospheric pressure or something). On a side note, I only very briefly saw "my" #crows this morning, but this evening […] [Original post on setouchi.social]

After so many years in Japan, I feel that I mostly understand the country. However, once thing I'll never get it's the mess that its urbanism is. For example, all these houses and buildings are all in the same street, some almost next to each other. #Japan #houses #urbanism #chaos

Good evening Ms. Crow. Eggs must be growing in her belly. She's constantly begging for food at the moment. They don't really eat much in the evening usually. Two interesting things on these pictures. First, on the ground, her feathers are raised to appear […] [Original post on setouchi.social]

#CrowUpdate bonus. Here is a pic of Mr. Crow I took this morning with my DSLR. The second picture is the same cropped. We can see very clearly his broken feathers on his back (really on his wings). I'm still trying to take decent pictures of him when he […] [Original post on setouchi.social]

#CrowUpdate The #crows rarely share peanuts. Usually it goes this way, when I see both crows. I throw a peanut in the park, one #crow comes down (usually Ms. Crow), then while she's busy with her peanut, I throw the second one and Mr. Crow comes down. If […] [Original post on setouchi.social]

Mini #CrowUpdate I saw both Mr. and Ms. Crow this morning. They seem fine (re the fight yesterday). However, I noticed a behavior I'm not familiar with (both yesterday and this morning). One of them is on a pole. The other one is on another pole a block away. They clearly see each other. Yet […]

Funny how Meta must have noticed that I almost don't use Facebook anymore. It keeps on suggesting my actual friends accounts on Instagram (and to them too). A thing that never happened before, it used to only suggest strangers. And I don't know if I'm being shadow banned on FB or if usage has […]

My uncle used to manage a zoo. The family lived on site (on the second story of the reptile house, but that’s not important right now¹). My then-teenaged cousin was enlisted to care for an orphaned Wallaroo (aka rock wallaby, like a fluffier miniature kangaroo, and yes of course she named him […]

One of the weirdest things I've seen in Japan as far as international tourism is concerning is some package tour groups who go, by bus, together, to... The shopping mall!!! It's usually Chinese tourists. I remember a while ago with the Setouchi Triennale's organizers, we discussed how foreign […]

Shit! (mini #CrowUpdate no pics). Yesterday, I told you I spotted Ms. Crow with a twig in her beak, which could only mean they started building a new nest. However, I didn't really see them flying around the house this morning (just spotted Mr. Crow calling his spouse at some point). ⤵️

There are 3.3 - 3.6 billion people who live in hotspots of high vulnerability to climate change. This is one of those places. We are in the early stages of mass migration. We are completely unprepared for what is coming. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateMigration
