Did you know #birds are #dinosaurs? In the new @birdsandnerds.bsky.social, paleontologist Roger Benson of @amnh.org and I discuss how birds survived an asteroid hitting Earth 66 million years ago and what that tells us about life on the planet then and now. @ramonawritesla.bsky.social #science #bird

More than 96 million Americans aged 16+ count themselves as birdwatchers, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. By observing birds, we can learn about adaptation, social interaction, and survival strategies. And they're just so darn pretty to look at!

Fun facts about owls!
🦉An owl can turn its head 270° in either direction
🦉Not all owls hoot, some sing a different tune
🦉A group of owls is known as a parliament
🎶Parliament was formed in '68 by funk legend George Clinton
That last fact isn't about owls, I just like trivia!

in each episode of Birds & Nerds, we explore a random topic and find the connection — often unexpected — to #birds. In Episode 2, we're looking at privacy around at-home DNA tests, family tree surprises, and the mating habits of Sanderlings. Yes... we found a link. @ramonawritesla.bsky.social

My first nerd is Vilas Dhar, pres of Patrick J. McGovern Foundation. We're talking about the ethical use of #AI. FYI: he's an optimist.
