Thanks for reading! I'll hopefully be remembering to post the rest of the #extinctbirds2025 challenge as I make them this month.

To me, it echoes the story of the Kirtland’s Warbler and the Jack Pine stands of the northeastern woodlands, though that bird is responding very well to conservation efforts.

Pictured here with Giant Cane, a species of North American bamboo that used to compose enormous canebreak ecosystems in the southeast. Sadly, with the mass destruction of this ecosystem, we also lost the hyperspecialized home of these warblers too.

#Drawtober Day 1: Bachman's Warbler

Here's what I'm doing for #drawtober! Gotta get some #birds up in here. Tag is #extinctbirds2025

Anyways, came here to post the first oriole at my feeder! I always love seeing new #birds in my yard!

This #iNaturalist GenAI addition is so dissapointing. The team wants to "pilot" if they can replace decades of ecological expertise with generated reponses? Cool. If this is implemented, guess which experts will no longer train this dumb thing? Such shortsightedness, all for a Google grant.

Even with this update, it is clear the team has ignored users and plans to continue this grant anyways. iNaturalist's community has always provided these explanations for free, and now that exerience will be replaced w/ GenAI slop in whatever trial they pilot and force upon us later. Great.

the entire reason I use iNaturalist is that it’s really fun when scientists and other wildlife observers find my photos and confirm the ID using their human expertise and I get to feel like I helped a person with their research

you are taking away what’s special about the app if AI does that

I think I'm finally getting good at this #breadmaking thing!

Our 💯 hours to #SaveAmericasForecasts starts tomorrow!

Tune in to hear over 200+ US meteorologists and climate scientists share the importance of federally funded weather and climate research!
