Husband’s plant impulse control is just as bad as mine. Meet our newest #houseplant, a trumpet pitcher plant! If anyone knows the species lmk.

Copper iris is one of my favorite native volunteers in my yard. Today I watched a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird sipping on it.

#Gardening season! In my raised beds I’ve added parsley and basil plants to the almost-mature garlic on the other side. Corn, snap beans, and zucchini for the warm days ahead. And lots and lots of greens to harvest quickly before they bolt!

Working on a report on a gray drizzly Friday and rediscovering how great the album Familiars by @TheAntlers is. Highly recommend if you need something atmospheric to wrap around you like a warm blanket.

Another #throwback to the 2017 #superbloom in the #MojaveDesert, with arguably the most showy of #DesertWildflowers, the beavertail pricklypear #cactus

#bloomscrolling #CactusFlowers #desert #Nevada #NativePlants

A single cactus, friendly-looking without long spines, holding numerous bright pink blossoms in the bright sunshine. Beyond, dry-looking desert dotted with creosote, backed by distant purple mountains and high clouds streaking the blue sky.

I recently learned that #JimHenson made ads for #CommunityCoffee using #Muppets in the #1950s and #1960s. They are delightfully unhinged.

This past weekend, another great day bird banding in #BatonRouge with Louisiana Bird Observatory. Migrants are starting to trickle in.

All banding is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Bird Banding Lab.

Young female Hooded Warbler. Tiny bird being held by the legs. The back and crown are olive green, the belly bright yellow, and the face a more muddy yellow. Her tail is fanned showing extensive white on the outer three feathers.
Young Acadian Flycatcher. Drab little bird being held by the legs. Its only bold markings are bold buffy wing-bars and edging on the tertial and inner secondary feathers.
A young Blue Jay’s wing. The inner feathers impossibly blue with black bars and white tips.

Crimson Rosella in the small coastal town of Bulli, New South Wales, Australia. #Australia is something else with the dazzling #parrots just hanging in the cities and suburbs. Nothing like the invisible parrots of the #Neotropics

It just occurred to me to follow #mothstodon and I noticed that many of the images are hidden as sensitive. Is it considered best practice to hide #arthropods in general?
