#SciComm Opportunity‼️ We are looking to direct hire a temporary course developer for Bird Academy (Cornell Lab). Would love a strong science communicator who loves birds (don't have to be an expert!) and has instructional design expertise. 6 mo position with extension (1 yr total). DM me!

We came, we questioned, we pushed every button possible 🦖😅 Had an absolute blast today @ the Museum of the Earth! They are in trouble sooo... If you are near Ithaca definitely go visit! If you are far, consider donating to #SavePRI!

Day 184 of photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's John Oliver with fossils in the hopes that he saves the Paleontological Research Institution Look deeply into the zoophycos, John(H. sapiens)...you are getting sleepy...you want to donate to the PRI... #tracefossiltuesday #SavePRI 🧪⚒️ #geology #science

Day183 of photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's John Oliver with fossils in the hopes that he saves the Paleontological Research Institution, a major US fossil collection John (H. sapiens) with some petrified (rock-hard), knoty wood from Antarctica... Might I have deep rooted issues? #SavePRI 🧪⚒️🌲

The Paleontological Research Institution in Ithaca, NY, has been in financial trouble for a while. I'm biased because I currently have my life-size giant snail and clam on display, but they're a bunch of great people doing great work. Read how you can help here: www.priweb.org/mortgage-cam...

See you tonight! I'll be moderating the webinar. Can't wait for this fall warblinar party 🥳🪶🐦

Who wouldn't want a free cheat sheet for fall warblers? #birds #FallMigration #BirdID 🪶

Fall warblers challenge birders as their bright spring colors fade. Quieter and more camouflaged, they’re harder to ID—but all the more rewarding. Need a quick visual guide this season? Download the Fall Warbler ID Guide: dl.allaboutbirds.org/fall-warbler...

It's no wonder people find fall warblers tricky to ID with so many variations on yellow plumage! Warblers are also notoriously quick and difficult to follow. Attend our fall warbler ID workshop to improve your skills! There are two dates to choose from: academy.allaboutbirds.org/live-event/i...

Day 30 of #BirbFest2025 - Black Headed Gull. Since I've been working with a somewhat white paper, a bird which is primarily white, is kinda difficult to work with, so opted to try something different from few references. #Birds #SciArt #birbfest […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

This is a rough sketch of a black headed gull bird for day 30 of #birbfest2025. The birb's likely preparing to take flight, but I like to imagine it is stomping frumpily. I'll create some paintings from some of the challenge birbs... #birds #birbfest #blackheadedgull #gull #sketch #art #birdart

Here’s a rather windswept Black-headed Gull for the penultimate day of #BirbFest2025 can’t believe we’re almost at the end…although I do have 5 birbs to catch up on! 😅 #Birds #SciArt #ArtChallenge #BirbFest #ArtSky #WildlifeArt #BirdArt #Gull

In 2023 at least 960 #birds died in one day due to window collisions at McCormick Place in #Chicago. After applying bird-friendly window treatments, there were just 18 deaths all last fall. Further proof these simple changes work, and work well! It's time communities start making this a requirement.
