Speaking of mismatched phenology, the predators are turning white, too. These little sh*ts are impossible to track with a cellphone camera, they are like mammal electrons. Bring on some snow! 🦊 #wx

I don't normally cross post stuff from Reddit, but trust me, you're gonna want to see this. There can't possibly be enough data to steal for this to be fake. Absolutely stunning experience AND videography. Volume up!

I'm trying to decide if the color break on the upper petals of this orchid that I bought in spike is because it has a virus or not. If the former, I'll have to throw it away once it's done blooming. If the latter, I'll probably give it away because I'm terrible with Cattleyas. 🌱🪴 #orchids

I'm completely mesmerized by this century-long visualization of climate change/glacial retreat. I've never seen anything quite like it. I can't stop watching.

100 years in a few seconds. This is what #climatechange does to glaciers. 🏔️

One of my favorite birds. This kingfisher caught a crayfish in a suburban pond, beat it against the branch a few times, and after about 10 tries swallowed it whole. Extra angles included because she's a beaut. 🪶

Confirmed world record. #Hurricane #Melissa produced a wind gust reading of 252mph. A Hurricane Hunter dropsonde recorded this gust at 657 feet above the sea, breaking the old record of Typhoon Megi (248 mph in 2010). #wx

Poor bunnies...their phenology is completely mismatched this year because there is no snow anywhere. I hope they don't get wiped out by predators! Come on snow!

What to make of the phlox
that blooms out of season,
mere moments before killing frosts,
when with no hope of fitness,
no rhyme and no reason,
brings beauty regardless of costs?

Wow! Wolves are raiding crab traps for fish by pulling the buoy line until the trap comes ashore and then shredding it.
Someone still needs to teach these proto-tool users how to repair, maintain, and deploy the nets, but they have the critical step down! 🦊🐟🌎

Video shows a wild wolf stealing fish in a first possible tool use
The wolf “appears to demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the multi-step connection between the floating buoy and the bait within the out-of-sight trap,” scientists said.

It's been extremely warm recently so despite the wet weather there is no snow in the mountains. On the bright side, there are 100 mushrooms. Look how festive!

This is fantastically nerdy - check his blog for how he samples/cultures insect pupae for a YEAR to find out if they've been parasitized (including protecting the host walnuts from angry squirrels). I love it when people fall completely & unapologetically down science rabbitholes. #invert 🦊

I made a fun food for the kid's birthday party yesterday: toad in a hole! 🍜 I think it's just normal British food, but it was new for us.
He loved it, although I just made plain brown gravy instead of the onion marmalade gravy (wtf is onion marmalade? WW2 starvation food?) for obvious reasons. 🤮

I love this uplifting story about American crocodiles in south Florida benefitting from ESA and warm water discharges from a nuclear power plant. I would absolutely pay to go net these sweet little babes for science, although the colorblindness wouldn't help. 🐍🌎🧪

Fascinating & foreboding that the mammal-contagious variant of bird flu that's killed thousands of pinnipeds in the southern hemisphere hasn't made its way north yet. I guess birds aren't carrying that strain & the tropical oceans are a mammal migratory barrier? 🦊🪶🧪🌎

Some members' #orchids from last night's club meeting. One of the best show and tells we've had for a long time. Also a wonderful guest lecture about terrarium orchids and companion plants by Michael from Mizu Mori Tropicals and great snacks and treats. 10/10 evening overall. 🪴🌱

I've never ridden on a real train before, but I'm taking the Amtrak down the Columbia River Gorge to Portland right now in the 43rd year of my life. This is a very different, pleasant vibe. Also watching across the river at a freeway packed with long distance drivers & just...wondering.
