The face of an eagle looks regal and, let’s be honest, kind of angry! Bald Eagles have a thick ridge, called the supraorbital ridge, over their eyes that helps them see during times of bright sunlight, and gives them an "angry" or "fierce" look! #DidYouKnow #supraorbitalridge #funfacts

On behalf of the Staff, Volunteers and Board of Directors of the Alaska Raptor Center, we want to wish you a Happy Alaska Day! Alaska Day is the anniversary of the formal transfer of the Territory of Alaska from Russia to the United States, which occurred on Friday, October 18, 1867. #AlaskaDay

Budgies are the best. (Adopt one from a rescue! They’re the most surrendered and least adopted out at friend’s rescue).

A rare visitor at the Alaska Raptor Center! Ospreys aren’t common in Southeast Alaska, but after last week’s high winds, one found its way to us. After a quick check-up to make sure everything looked good, this impressive raptor was released back into the wild! #Osprey #Rare #FreedomFriday

Did you know wild raptors sometimes arrive carrying tiny hitchhikers like lice and mites? These pests can sap a bird’s strength and spread disease. During our intake exams we give our patients a gentle, bird-safe treatment to clear out the freeloaders. #BehindTheScenesCare #WildlifeRehab #DidYouKnow

Birds are telling us—in their behavior, in their dwindling numbers, in their silence—that we must take action now, and that we must take action where birds need us most, from the Arctic to Chile and everywhere in between. It’s time to rise to the occasion www.audubon.org/get-involved

But I was promised by prominent Climate Science leaders that “green” tech would solve all of this . . .

What’s on the menu for a Bald Eagle? 🍽️ Fish makes up 80% of a Bald Eagle’s diet, both in the wild and here at the Alaska Raptor Center! But these birds are opportunistic eaters, also dining on birds, small mammals, and carrion. #WhatsForDinner #BaldEagle #WildlifeDiet #FeedingTime

Meet Koyu, our light-morph Harlan’s Red-tailed Hawk ambassador! Harlan’s Hawks are already one of the rarer types of Red-tailed Hawk, but Koyu is even more unique with her pale plumage. #FunFactFriday #colorful #DidYouKnow

Did you know that a Bald Eagle's eyesight is approximately 8x sharper than the human eye? 🦅👁️ In comparison, the fovea in the human eye has around 140,000 cones per millimeter, but in the central fovea of a Bald Eagle, there are over a MILLION cones per millimeter! #DidYouKnow #EagleEyes #NatureFacts

Did you know that during the first four years of a Bald Eagle’s life, their feathers undergo a series of color changes? #FunFactFriday #AgingGracefully #AnimalFacts

If you ever find yourself wanting a bird, I'd like to remind you that this is Queso's favorite noise. This would be the potential soundtrack to your life.

Did you know, Red-tailed Hawks, like Jake, have a powerful, raspy scream that Hollywood loves to use? Whenever you hear a shrill raptor cry in movies or TV shows, it's often a Red-tailed Hawk, no matter what species is on screen. #NatureSounds #BirdsofPrey #DidYouKnow

Hopium is dangerous, infantilizing and irresponsible. Poor fragile Homo sapiens must not be traumatized as they burn the world down . . .

So much suffering, so much pain Once you look into his eyes You can never unsee it Boycott Faroe Islands now

bsky.app/profile/mont... This was a reply to a post. It seems benign to me. Nevertheless it caused Herr Dr. Professor Michael E. Mann to report me and attempt to have me banned for using „abusive language.” Yes, he is such a model Liberal defender of the 1st amendment.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... “Voters may feel hotter summers are ‘too much’ but they appear to tolerate roll-back of policies to stop global heating.” Rationalist scientists who mock “doomers” are so wedded to their religion, the Enlightenment, that they refuse to recognize what’s easy to see
