If you've ever picked up a Sibley Guide, you know how remarkable it is that one person created every one of those beautiful paintings of #birds. In addition to being an incredible artist, David Allen Sibley is a true expert on #birding, and it's always an education and a pleasure to chat with him. Here's the video of my latest @gbhnews "Ask the Expert" conversation with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Fg9Igk54s&t=146s#audubon#birdwatching
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, The Troth leads the Pagans For Peace: A Ritual for Peace and Justice, community announcements, upcoming Pagan Pride festivals, Lights Out for the Fall migration, and more news.
I'd only seen two original Audubons before but today I saw 46!
Pic 1: a detail of the heads of the osprey and a fish it's just caught
Pic 2: a detail of an astonishing composition of Northern mockingbirds repelling a rattlesnake from their nest. 👈 This one was worth the price of admission alone.
