It hadn’t occurred to me that I went with bisexual colors here, but I’m bisexual so I guess I put it in my drawings subliminally 😅
US residents, you *need* to get this pin for any bi birders in your life.
Good news: When my book The Birding Dictionary came out, we offered pins for the first folks who ordered, and we've found a new stash. We have pins for the first 50 people who submit a receipt! (Until 12/19 or while supplies last. US residents only.) www.hachettebookgroup.com/landing-page...

I saw zero US coverage of COP30. The world is looking at us with such embarrassment.

COP30: UN climate talks fail to secure new fossil fuel promises
Nearly 200 countries attended COP30, which aimed to commit the world to take more action on climate change.

FYI, I missed this - the law hasn't been implemented yet so we will learn more as time passes, but it's looking like the 1,095 day requirement won't affect kids born before the law goes into effect!
The 1,095 day test is for children born after the law goes into effect.

If you are second+ generation born abroad (and can show lineage) who is already born you should be a citizen under C-3, regardless of the 1,095 day rule. (I say should because there's always weird edge cases)

MORE good news: A Canadian bill is just about to receive Royal Assent (yes this is a thing) and soon, if your parent is a Canadian citizen who spent 1,095 days of physical presence in Canada before you were born, you will be a citizen regardless of where you were born and where you live.

With the aurora popping up again last night, I thought I'd repost this adventure from last year. I drew this when the great @nepeteaa.bsky.social wondered what night-migrating songbirds might make of it all. Part 1/2

It's true, young pigeons out here just having social anxiety and questioning every interaction just like the rest of us.

I also have subdued hues.

Busy week in the studio! Here’s a bird I made goofing around instead of working and some things that caught my attention:

As another UN climate conference begins, I'm seeing even fewer Americans than ever talking about climate change, which is what the fossil fuel companies want. News groups are firing climate reporters and that doesn't help. Don't stop bringing this up. It hasn't gone away www.bbc.com/news/live/cw...

If you take the time to read the whole Gates memo (which I did), the bulk of the content was mostly solid and encouraging. Really!

It was the FRAME that was off--very off, from the first line.

And when your framing is off, then how you make decisions and set priorities is off. THAT'S the problem.
