i moved into a house with a big tree in the backyard. i can hear birds in it a lot. my child is very small so i dont think he understands what a bird is yet (do any of us, truly?) but i take him out to look at the tree at least once a day and listen to the birds and he seems to like it. thanks for reading.

i'm a member of a phenology-and-nature-photos facebook group and a guy posted this plot graph of his initial tree sparrow sightings over the last 14 years which reminded me of the title of this thread. no one can get away talking about biased climate researchers and their doctored data to that dude

migration is completely fucked this year by the way, everything's weeks off. massive thawing in the arctic means enormous changes in the availability of food and corresponding mass movements of birds and other migratory wildlife in response. it's fucked up on its own but it's also a really dire indicator of the overall situation in the biosphere, shit is really really not good

imagine this but for every species and every subspecies and multiply it a million times and you got an idea of the kind of field science being done day in and day out by volunteers, birdfolk carry on the subbotnik tradition

qft, eternal glory to all the amatuer botanists, mycologists, lichenologists, entomologists, herptologists and all the other ologists who put in work.

i am very bad at identifying birds by sight let alone by sound, and mostly i can only hear these birds. however i am sure there are magpies in the area, and crows also. and just yesterday i found a medium-sized yellow and green feather on my back porch. it came from some kind of parrot i suppose.

im into cacti and succulents mostly, i was kind of interested in bonsai for a while but its such a long term hobby and my attention span is short. im also interested in halophytes and some conifers but theyre hard to grow in a home situation
