Yeah okay the camouflage does not so much work when the grass is still green. When photographing Snowy Owls, this is as much excitement as you want to see! I kept my distance, took just a few photos, and left. (The owl needs its beauty rest! Let it sleep.) #birds 🪶 🌿

In honor of Gary Larson's birthday, the two times The Far Side and Dennis the Menace accidentally had their captions switched. I laughed for an hour the first time I saw these.

When you see a peer-reviewed scientific journal article, it often says “pay $35 to read this.” Did you know that $0 of that goes to the authors of the article? Just email us and we’ll be happy to send you a copy for free. We’re usually thrilled that anyone cares. 🧪🦑🦈
