While many ducks have a coloured wing patch, the Northern Shoveler said “give me two!” Add the green head, the spoon-like bill and the orange feet, and they are a package! This male northern shoveler decided to fly to the other side of the marsh to check out the foraging options!🪶

An amazing adventure among the ice floes in the Churchill estuary and Hudson Bay. I took so many pictures and video. While I have been here before, I have never been when there is ice like this. It’s absolutely magical.

Watching the British election returns I feel compelled to point out that the 650 person House of Commons represents 67 million people and the 435 person House of Representatives in the United States represents 333 million. Replace the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. We deserve representation.

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

The Dragon's Flight Quetzalcoatlus in flight, though what this painting represents may be an exaggeration. Recently learned that there is still a debate about these babies nature (and ability) of flight, so take this with a grain of salt. (Also Thanatosdrakons scary!) #PaleoArt #SciArt 🐡 #dinoart

Look at this gorgeousness I saw today! There were at least 6 pairs of damselflies mating together at my local creek. I adore this shade of blue and it was so cool to see that many together! It's #DamselflyJuly!! #invertebrates 🌿

My little nephew turned seven today, and we came here to celebrate with him; had grilled food outside and did sparklers, snakes, and smoke bombs in the evening. I still get a kick out of ‘writing’ my name with sparklers 😅

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders. AI is booming (if you're a pleb) but if you have money - Goldman Sachs will be honest with you instead web.archive.org/web/20240629...

Judge John Broomes, a Trump appointee, issued a nationwide Title IX rule injunction covering all children of "Moms for Liberty" members this week. That's bad enough, but the procedural/notice mess he made of it is also really absurd: www.lawdork.com/i/146289012/...

Bajadasaur in caliche forest. A4. Piece for the upcoming artbook. This started out as Amargasaurus on a saltflat, but researching saltflats, I stumbled across caliche forests and thought they looked really cool. And looking at sail-necked sauropods, I remembered Bajadasaurus. Original available.
