Looking for nature valentines cards? Last year's comic is now available as cards! They start shipping Jan 12. topatoco.com/collections/...

I found this article to be helpful (in a terrible way) and I'm glad I subscribed to @wired.com last year, they've been doing some really great coverage www.wired.com/story/3-keys...

The monthly weird birds are extremely worth your time fyi

I'm working on the next edition of my small monthly newsletter: buttondown.com/rosemarymosco Join now and you'll get to see this month's weird-bird-of-the-month! It's a doozy.

This is @katharinehayhoe.com's newsletter and it's fantastic.

This piece, which I learned about from @katharinehayhoe.com's newsletter, is really powerful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEpP... It manages to display climate data in a way that provides an emotional gut punch.

Author and illustrator @rosemarymosco.com loves molting cardinals so much that she once made a comic featuring one, which she named Bloödcheëp. Hear her recount the details: buff.ly/3hFQVr0

Working on interpretive planning for the last portion of my docent training today- biofacts! One of my assigned biofacts is a pigeon skeleton mount. I have the perfect reference! @rosemarymosco.com's A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching!

You ready for our 2026 Valentines?? The art is ready for ya 😍 As with everything on our shop, sales of these valentines support @skypeascientist.bsky.social! This year's cards were designed by Philly artist @aprilfinfrock.bsky.social! Obsessed with how these turned out. order at SquidFacts.net

🥰🤘

As a matter of fact we did some of our Christmas shopping here on Bluesky @rosemarymosco.com @valdevia.art

I saw this and it’s wonderful!

Happy holidays! Pigeons make milk, and I hope this fact fills you with joy and concern during this festive time of year

I was flipping through the car radio and heard familiar voices. It was @rosemarymosco.com and @corinanewsome.bsky.social talking about birds! A thoroughly enjoyable listen. #birds 🌿

Take action to defend NCAR today.

The US government called NCAR a “stronghold for left-wing climate lunacy” which is a wild thing to say during the 2nd hottest year on record, in the middle of horrific west coast storms and flooding, in a year that saw wildfire-red skies and hurricanes devastating Jamaica, Asheville and more

🐍 The new year'sss coming up and we're sssaying our goodbyesss to the Year of The Sssnake! 🐍 topatoco.com/collections/...

We're kicking off the Christmas Bird Count with @rosemarymosco.com and @corinanewsome.bsky.social, who join us celebrate the common birds that might not be at the top of your pecking order, but should be.🐦‍⬛

It’s always an honor and a joy to be on @scifri.bsky.social www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/sci...

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

Apparently we have 4 pins left! If you ordered The Birding Dictionary, fill out this quick form for a free pin. (Sadly, US only)

Need some prehistoric time travel to clear your head? Come look at ancient plants with me in When the Earth Was Green. 🌱

FYI if you've recently bought or plan to buy The Birding Dictionary, I believe we still have some free pins left, so get one here:

I have three copies of Climate Champions by @rachelsarah.bsky.social to give away! I bought a bunch when they came out (I’m in it). This book, targeted at middle and high schoolers, features biographies of a diversity of women working on climate action across disciplines.

Thank you @aba.org for putting my book The Birding Dictionary on your top books of 2025 list! Get it here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...

Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰 In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏

Another comic from this past year. Sometimes I'm in awe about how incredibly small birds can be.

Somebody asked me if I could set up an annual pay option on my Patreon, so I enabled it just now! As an annual supporter you get a discount. www.patreon.com/birdandmoon Thank you so much to my patrons for creating such an upbeat space 🐦

PREACH

I'm working on the next edition of my fun, short, monthly newsletter. buttondown.com/rosemarymosco

Wildlife tracking! I'm reposting things I made this past year. If you look closely at the deer tracks you'll see I added the hint that they're double registering (hind foot is stepping into the same spot as front foot).

If you're looking for gifts for family and friends, I have a lot of stuff on my Topatoco shop, including a Blöödchëëp Shirt and many prints of comics! topatoco.com/collections/...

🐾 One thing about us artists is that we looooove to draw animals, and we also looooooove to make merch of them! 🐾 topatoco.com/collections/...

Autumn Leaf 3 Watercolour, approximately 80 × 132 mm. I lost my way with this one. The extent of the rust spots were paving my way to overworking even without my own blundering, and I of course walked merrily -- and then tearfully -- right into it. 1/3

IT'S LIVE YOU CAN BUY IT :D THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST is up on @libro.fm and probably other sites idk I'm too excited This has been a long time coming! Step into the forest and don't lose your nerve...

Looking for a gift for a birding friend or a kid who loves nature? I have 10 books for adults and kids, some bestselling and some award-winning, and you can see them all here: rosemarymosco.com/books (Note: one of them, Birding Is My Favorite Video Game, is out of print but a new edition is coming!)

did someone say PIGEONS?????? campmustelid.shop

This is still one of the most powerful visualizations I've ever seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zP0...

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

It hadn’t occurred to me that I went with bisexual colors here, but I’m bisexual so I guess I put it in my drawings subliminally 😅

I saw zero US coverage of COP30. The world is looking at us with such embarrassment. www.bbc.com/news/article...

FYI, I missed this - the law hasn't been implemented yet so we will learn more as time passes, but it's looking like the 1,095 day requirement won't affect kids born before the law goes into effect!

MORE good news: A Canadian bill is just about to receive Royal Assent (yes this is a thing) and soon, if your parent is a Canadian citizen who spent 1,095 days of physical presence in Canada before you were born, you will be a citizen regardless of where you were born and where you live.

Good news: When my book The Birding Dictionary came out, we offered pins for the first folks who ordered, and we've found a new stash. We have pins for the first 50 people who submit a receipt! (Until 12/19 or while supplies last. US residents only.) www.hachettebookgroup.com/landing-page...

Auction ends today, 12pm EST.

With the aurora popping up again last night, I thought I'd repost this adventure from last year. I drew this when the great @nepeteaa.bsky.social wondered what night-migrating songbirds might make of it all. Part 1/2

Oh my goodness

It's true, young pigeons out here just having social anxiety and questioning every interaction just like the rest of us. I also have subdued hues.
