Well from what I’ve heard is they hire masters and phd grads to do the brain work for model training

This post returns to my Pinterest feed all the time. I’ll be looking at circuit boards and a few clicks later it’ll be back to birds

Sewing, hiking, biking, mushroom hunting, gardening, raising chickens, cooking, woodworking. I could go on and on ! I’m not retired but boy do I love stuff like this

Bird go “aaa”

Sometimes you have a normal day. Sometimes you have an 'explaining to an orthopedic surgeon what a chicken diaper is and how to make one for a prone crane post-leg surgery to keep it clean' kind of day. (Photos courtesy of RPAW and Dr. Jess of a poor hit-by-car kid who will soon be here for care).

Logging on

One ringed Black-tailed Gidwit can tell a story, thanks to colour-ring readers. Example: wadertales.wordpress.com/2018/04/04/j... And when you put all of the records together! wadertales.wordpress.com/2025/01/09/h... #ornithology

I don’t have the heart to stop this onion in my fridge from going on its journey. You grow king

I have two sweet lesbian ring necked doves and one of them just climbed on top of the other just to lay her egg right on her partner’s face, followed by said partner trying to pull the egg under herself before getting up and laying her own egg. I’m speechless.

HYDRATION BREAK 🐣 🪶

Celebrating 20yrs Rat free this year! One of the biggest successes on the island is the seabirds, but for Manx Shearwaters it has been phenomenal. One of our box birds from today, the fact we have 15,000 and they breed successfully was unthinkable 30yrs ago!

Local plumbers two steps ahead of every university administrator in america 👏

Alas, poor crow, we hardly knew ye.

Thinking about how so many people I know said Don’t Look Up was so stupid and over the top and ridiculous but my environmental scientist brother was like “Nope, that’s exactly how it feels”

yeah we’re gonna have to ban prediction markets

That’s a forbidden action actually, I think this throws an error if attempted

Guys come on we already learned about this, computers can’t overcome human bias if the data we give it is collected from biased humans

I have a new interest uh oh

Apparently, the USA has 1.4 billion lbs of cheese stored underground in case of a dairy related emergency. The more you know

I was gonna stick to upbeat content today but I can’t ignore this. This is up there with the hourly extinct bird calls clock I saw on instagram

Oh to be so resilient

Also, if I remember correctly, he was apparently just so sexy that women of all races could not get enough of this man

Christ that’s a large worm

These two are the same insect, 26 minutes apart. The picture on the left is the regular appearance. The one on the right is what the insect looks like after it is scared and produces a chemical that spreads between its body and its elytra. 🌿🌱 #beetle #insect

I love these guys !! Also really interesting how the frame rate of the camera is slowing down the appeared speed of the wing flaps

Bird loaf !

Birds in love !! Nothing better !!

EVEN LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK !!!

Omg there's a horseshoe crab flipping song!! It's so 90s PSA songey. What glorious propaganda!! 😭 😭

Got to be outside in nature yesterday

My two braincells after this week

Just taking a moment to share my appreciation for the fact that the idiot alt-right insult "cuck" is derived from the word "cuckold" which has its origin in the onomatopoeic word "cuckoo" for the sound these brood-parasite birds make. Bonus: cuckoos mimic raptors so the parents fuck right off.

nOooOOO come ON

I'm getting the impression that government might just matter, and cutting back on things like food safety while bulking up military and paramilitary forces might have negative consequences. @ryanlcooper.com feels the same way: prospect.org/2026/07/16/h...

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

Tiny but essential. The spotted cleaner #shrimp sets up shop on #Caribbean reefs, cleaning parasites and dead skin from fish—even inside their mouths. One of the reef's smallest creatures plays one of its biggest roles. 🦐🌊 scubahanknyc.com/2026/06/03/s...

This is one one of the youngest chicks from a few days ago. Sora chicks are pretty much all black when they first hatch and then become more brown throughout the summer. The male Sora had just popped out of the reeds and baby was instantly right by his side posing identically! #Birds 🪶

I try to remember this when I get into my personal pit of despair regarding AI, over-surveillance, climate change, and habitat loss.

A young Green Heron. Just out of the nest and ready to see the world. And also steal my heart 🥰 #birds 🌿

My pitch for increasing whimsy in daily life is adding more pneumatic tubes for various things. I want my mail delivered via tube.

Awesome thread on adapting scientific language to the everyday person !

Big win for native species !!

“ excuse me sir, you have a little somethin’ somethin’ on your beak you might want to wipe off” So many birds are very busy right now catching insects to feed their babies. This American Robin had caught so many Damselflies and/or dragonflies that they barely all fit in his beak! #Birds 🪶

Isn't he gorgeous? That red crest rebuild takes time! Mr Northern Cardinal 🪶
