Think all barriers for migrating birds are natural like deserts and seas? Not so! I helped discover that the man-made Corn Belt is also a barrier to migration for many birds. Check out more about my study here...
America's Corn Belt acts as barrier for migrating songbirds | Cornell Chronicle
The vast agricultural landscape of the U.S. Midwest known as the Corn Belt acts as a barrier for migrating landbirds, causing them to adjust their flight behaviors similar to when crossing natural bar...

Since we're talking about Michigan tonight, here's my 2nd favorite shot when I rolled on through last year.
Greater Scaup paddling rapidly across a small cove off of San Francisco Bay in April. You can see its webbed feet moving through the water. It is next to Trader Vic's in Emeryville. 🪶 🌿 #eck
You'll have to look closely, but you can see this Ruby-throated Hummingbird's head through her wings as she sips nectar.
Picked up some zines from Antiquated Future, a zine distro out of Portland, through their website after learning about them recently! A lot of fun stuff in their catalogue. They also threw in some Bandcamp download codes for local bands, which rules. #zines antiquatedfuture.com

This is Nala. She thought your face had disappeared. Turns out it was behind your hands the whole time. Incredible. 12/10 (IG: goldennala27)
I made dinner for a man who abused me more times than I can count thinking I could fix things. It never stopped the abuse. It created the expectation that he could do whatever he wanted and then be fed. Max Miller is trash. If the GOP won’t say it, I will.
I love making art.... I am not very skilled but I am working on it 😤
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
Calm before the storm. Photo taken at the Jefferson Memorial on November 4, 2024. Interesting how cormorants auto-corrects to combatants. #birds #photography #washingtondc #eastcoastkin #naturephotography #cormorants #birdphotography #waterbirds #wildlife #landscapephotography #birdsofbluesky
The fennel was too much for the 2'x2' herb garden, but the tiny modest masked bees love it, and I enjoy munching the occasional frond. So I planted its seeds in the back alley in the soil around the utility pole. It is GLORIOUS! #PlantJoy #GuerrillaGardening #Photo
I’ve always liked how the mountains, forest, and reflections seem to share the same space in this painting. Even though everything is still, there’s a feeling that the landscape is quietly alive. #206 "Emerald Reflection" Hand Painted by Jeff Dillon, 24" x 30" #MountainLandscape #CanadianLandscape
This Ruby-throated Hummingbird pose makes me think of a teeny tiny penguin.
Namibia is not all desert, it's coast line has huge flamingo, pelican & seal populations. So many flamingos, it's difficult to isolate them, but the morning's fog helped, & created a magical mood! #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluesky #birds #birdtherapy #wildlife #wildlifephotography
I am so fatigued by the gender wars and divide. Men, women, transwomen and transmen and non-binary peoples...we all need each other. I won't turn my back on another human being because of how they identify and I will never platform one over the other EVER (unless you're an asshole then fk u)
Today my wife and I tabled at a book festival. We sold the books! And I didn't buy even one book for myself. I deserve a prize for my self control. Maybe a book.

I want wetlands that protect communities from floods instead of being paved over. I want whales in healthy oceans, old-growth trees that outlive us, and night skies where the stars are brighter than the city lights.
Dawn Mist Falls always sprays mist that feels good when backpacking on a hot day. Most of the time, we see water ouzels (American dippers) there bobbing up and down on their knees in search of bugs in the water. Glacier National Park #nationalparks #backpacking #hiking #trails #waterfalls #Montana
