Finally time for an introductory post to pin on my timeline:
My name is Dan B. I am a fish passage biologist. "What's a fish passage bio?," you might ask...
Well, anyway - In my free time I like to draw stuff. Here is a drawing of some of my favorite things.

#birbfest2026 - Prompts 5 thru 8
5. King Eider
6. Northern-emerald Toucanet
7. Steller's Sea Eagle
8. Andean Cock-of-the-Rock
I was lucky to see a wild Cock-of-the-Rock lek in Ecuador in 2006. Had to wake up super early, hike to the site, and then sit quietly in the dark until they woke. Worth it

Happy Holidays everybody! And happy New Year!
A couple of years ago I drew a winter Peanuts parody with Anna and I in place of Chuck and Snoopy. Subsequently I drew the rest of the seasons, too

Kane's revenge!
This is inspired by a throwaway joke from an episode of Make Some Noise on Dropout. I cannot, for the life of me, remember which episode, or who said it. (I watched a bunch of episodes, trying to find it, but no such luck). Shout out if you know it so I can properly attribute.

Bird life list illustration. An acorn woodpecker. I finally saw one at the Scatter Creek Wildlife Area in Washington during the summer.

Did you know that "Trump" is slang for "fart" in England?
I can't believe I drew this five years ago, and here we are again: living through another entirely preventable/predictable disaster triggered by the sentient flatulence currently residing in the White House.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.
100% of his salary is paid by WA state.
Elon fired him. Share his story.

Among all of the stupid things that humans do, driving pangolins to the brink of extinction so we can harvest their scales really tops the charts. Especially since humans already grow their own handy and sustainable source of keratin.

Happy Caturday! At some point last week Orianna ate about a meter of string, and it finally passed out of her system last night. It was... horrible. She's resting today.
