Putting together a presentation, and this is a good reminder you don't have to check *every* wood duck box. Like skip the one with the 8 ft gator next to it.

Summer ends when lecture prep begins. My second new prep at Davis, but inheriting some good structure. I shall teach the youths about Biology and Conservation of Wild Birds.

We marked quite a few in Manitoba this season!

95% they are Cinnamon Teal, mostly by geography but also bill shape. Super great photo!

More MAGA-murder of science-base environmental efforts. Louisiana governor fine with letting coast wash away while producing more oil and gas. Even Speaker Johnson and Sen. Kennedy supported this effort. Gift link: wapo.st/4o25Tfr

What scrapping a $3 billion coastal project means for Louisiana’s future

As the state continues to lose land, advocates argue that the demise of the Mid-Barataria diversion project will leave coastal communities only more vulnerable.

I double checked with Mia who maybe didn't double check so is this a Chris question?

I don't think so, but I need techs in April, and the quarter lasts to June, so I have to hire post-grads

Trying to budget for a simple field tech at Davis. $19.68/hr x 8 hrs x 4 wks x 4 months + 51% benefits + 61% overhead is like $31k for the summer.

Not all ducks are expressive upon capture. But some are.

Excited to leave behind a new personal grading hell: a student (by all indication native in English) who does not cross their t's and slides the line straight through the circle of b's and d's. Is it an l, t, b, or d WHO KNOWS?

A terrible loss for the birding and ornithological community. If you can, please consider giving to the fund in memory of Dr. Shiloh Schulte.

I always put "Dr." in my salutation when I book flights, knowing full well I could never be of service in a time of distress. BUT I COULD HAVE BEEN A HERO ON THIS PLANE

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks.

these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

Someday I will stop agreeing to things that I don't have to do.

Today is not that day.
