It's been a few years since I participated in @skypeascientist.bsky.social (just too sick to commit to extra tasks for a few years there)
I forgot how exciting it is to be matched with a teacher, I really hope the students want to learn about bird evolution

Hi, it's me again
I have these calendars. They are so pretty. @megstampede.bsky.social made them. They have a bunch of animals on them, like crows and humpbacks and cuttlefish and salamanders.
Each month has facts about the animals AND actions you can take to help them
