It’s on! A full on family outing to #oceanscalling ! See you there!?

Mailed a birthday present to a friend in Canada and declared the value at nine dollars. Was made aware that the receiver will have to pay nine dollars and change in tariffs. Can we please stop being a laughing stock of the developed world? Enough is enough. #ITMFA

Well now I know what I’m doing for the next few hours.

Rosa’s 15th birthday lunch with 7 of her besties. Somehow this turned into a landlocked version of Below Deck- and I’m the chef and Inga is Chief Stew. The primary has requested that Zuzu stay inside which she is not.having. Such demanding guests.

Haha. Done. 😂

Now that I have adopted this baby kangaroo, what am I supposed to do with it? #lifewithzuzu #yesshesadog

Woke up with a pain in my eye. Apparently once you hit fifty pain doesn’t have to give you a reason. It just is. Because you just are. #thisis50

When your non-birding co-worker tells you about a documentary on birding you never heard of, and two of your friends are in it. WTH. Okay, but I'm super excited to watch it... #LISTERS slate.com/culture/2025...

It’s fall in Cape May, which means it’s birder potluck season, which means I’m making tiramisu. IYKYK. #ReedsBeach tomorrow!

LFG 🤘

Currently obsessed with #VampireWeekend ... like can't stop listening to them, or singing them in my head. Excited to see them and so many others at #OceansCallingFestival in a few weeks with the whole fam.

Turned 50 over the weekend. Some secret gifter dropped this at the house without being detected yesterday. Whoever the pizza angel is, thank you. You are amazing. #IYKYK #NewHavenApizza

It's that time again! Can you help us reach our fundraising goal for the Cape May Owl Project? #birds #ornithology All donations are fully tax-deductible! Thank you in advance for your support 🦉💜🪶🧡

Faaaaak that was a great time. Missing #Dublin.

All your diction, dripping with disdain.

Pips #8 Hard 🔴 4:01

Love this little gem. Irish Potato Cake Company right next to the Abbey Court Hostel, #Dublin. Flat White #coffee before a long trek to and through Phoenix Park today.

Spent a wonderful day in Eryri National Park, Snowdonia, Wales, ascending and descending Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) with Mags and Shawn. We stocked up on Welsh Cakes which carried us through the day! 🍥😋🥾⛰️

More of these to come, but loved the excursion day to break up the 15th European Ornithologists' Congress in Bangor, Wales. Gorgeous weather made the trip to South Stack Reserve absolutely brilliant! Great to hang out with Maggie and her man Sean all day as well. #EOU2025 #ornithology #goneferal

Maggie MacPherson knocked our socks off w/ Advances in studying Neotropical austral migrants at the special symposium Filling the knowledge gaps on small landbird migration in poorly known migratory systems using individual tracking. That tyrannidae phylogeny tho - WOW! IYKYK. #EOU2025 #ornithology

Soladoye Iwajomo presenting his work titled "Intra-African Bird Migration: Understanding the spatio-temporal patterns" during Filling the knowledge gaps on small landbird migration in poorly known migratory systems using individual tracking. African Cuckoos and Black Coucals! #EOU2025 #ornithology

@wielandheim.bsky.social presents "From Siberia to the tropics: landbird migration along the Asian flyways" at the symposium Filling the knowledge gaps on small landbird migration in poorly known migratory systems using individual tracking. #EOC2025 #ornithology Excellent research and synthesis!

Big kudos to Yann Rime and Tianhao Zhao for putting together a fantastic symposium at the #EOU2025 titled: "Filling the knowledge gaps on small landbird migration in poorly known migratory systems using individual tracking". #ornithology

Scenes from the excellent talks at the Migration II Session during #EOU2025 #ornithology. Great to see work by Sissel, Etienne, Martins, Vojtěch, Michiel and Meixu (1 of 2)

Davide Dominoni gave a great plenary lecture yesterday during the #EOU2025 15th European Ornithologists' Congress, titled Navigating the Urban Jungle: From Individuals to Population Processes of City Birds - full of years of research from him and his collaborators. Science at its best! #ornithology

Who is in Wales at the European Ornithological Congress #EOU2025 this week? We are! Please stop by the booth and see Shawn and Nick and ask about the exciting things happening with Birds of the World and our partner network.

So excited to catch up with Marc and many other European partners at this year's #EOU2025 in Wales. These conferences always fill my research and conservation cups in so many ways- and this is just the pre-conference land bird study group meeting! Here's to a fun week to come!

#Dublin #Ireland Day 1

Yesterday: realization that the crosswalk system in Dublin, Ireland, is shit. Jaywalking is the only way to be a pedestrian. Today: almost run over by both a bike and a bus. Time to recalibrate.

watching Bobby and Mickey as they said goodbye at the end of the final night...total gratitude and love. This band is next-level, always has been, always will be. And the kids they dance and shake their bones. 🤟☮️💀🎶

They Love Each Other #GD60

GD60 night 3 about to begin!

Roasting coffee for the week on this beautiful Sunday. Enjoy the day!

When isn’t dry roasted just “roasted”?

PERSONAL TRAINER: Ok it's time for your resistance band workout ME: Cool, I love Rage Against The Machine. HIM: I'm out!

I really can’t. Every news article, every post, one after another documenting how this admin is tearing apart the fabric of our fragile democracy. And the republican “leadership” is going along for the ride. We are so fucked…and we don’t have to be. Here’s a rainbow, because, fuck.

Is your name Michael Diamond? No, mine’s Clarence. Happy Fri-yay. Have a #coffee and shake your rump. ☕️ 🕺🏼

Dinner and drinks at The Lazy Bass in N Wildwood, NJ - by boat!

Out and about on the boat tonight with the kids. @granolawren.bsky.social heads back to work at #CampFoss on Friday so gotta squeeze in as many of these as we can!

The Boys. Listening to #Boygenius in the car today and dreaming up tattoo ideas. They put on one of the best live shows I’ve seen, twice. @granolawren.bsky.social

Fish Crows milling about outside the hospital in Cape May Court House this morning. Love their distinctively nasal calls! #birbs #birds 🪶

Heard some dude yelling at some kids who were, admittedly, being a little loud outside at 10:30pm. But I’ve got to be 20 years younger than the guy yelling…and I barely heard them…so what’s up with the old dudes with better hearing than me!? WTAF!? Eff that dude. Keep living your lives, kids.

You can 💯 judge some books by their covers.

Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right. Coffee to the Monday morning rescue.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT WATERMELON • check its appearance • attempt to pick it up • tap it gently • see if it makes you laugh • discuss your shared values • take it home to start your new life together
