Today I learned that speed skaters might use a shoestring around their waist to help keep their arm in the right position as they get tired. Just saw German speed skater Hoffman do this with a pink lace. Google was no help, so I’m glad the commentators mentioned it.

When I wrote this back in January, I hoped it would make a few people smile. Now it's come full circle and made *me* smile, because @meganseling.bsky.social at @thestranger.com over in Seattle decided it would make a good cartoon, and got Greg Stump to draw one. 😁 www.thestranger.com/climate-issu...

They don’t look like the same bird!
Crazy how different Great Blue Herons look from the front and the side. These two photos are of the same heron taken 1 minute apart #birds #birding #birdphotography

I think the best response I've seen to AI anything has been, "Why should I bother reading something that nobody could be bothered to write"

#BirdGlamour returns with the Sandhill Crane! Sandhill Cranes perform elaborate courtship dances for their mates. They stay with their mates year round and mate for life, which may be over 20 years! There are 2.5 million year old Sandhill Crane fossils from FL! 🐡🧪🐦

The song sparrows were singing this morning, probably saying -10C was too damn cold! #birds #birding #birdphotography

First time seeing for me too! Right in the middle of a snowstorm too :)
Got to add a new bird to my life list yesterday! First Northern Shoveller, and he certainly was not enjoying the snow. #birds #birding #birdphotography
