Struggling to communicate to my neighbors effectively about human/animal interactions. I've heard people suggest shooting bats, poisoning box elder bugs, and even literally salting the Earth! It's very interesting to me how threatened people can feel by their other-than-human neighbors.

Got this fabulous texture of this specimen Oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis) at the Edinburgh Royal Botanical Garden. It's so wild that our American sycamores can have such a close relative that diverged so far away in time and space.

Having such a good time watching this Eastern Phoebe pair raise their chicks. I think many people have a reflexive aversion to wild animals near their homes or landscaping. But I truly believe we can learn to live together with our neighbors: birds, bats, groundhogs, and all.

Been doing a lot of thinking about how we build and sustain community. This article came out of a great discussion with a friend. We've got a lot of work to do to foster diverse groups that can take this movement forward #naturalist

Putting in my 2 cents in on an extremely old controversy but why was everyone mad at the grave cleaner lady on tiktok? Whenever I visit my family graves I give their neighbors a little touch up too. Also this catalpa was majestic!

Got all geared up to take beautiful pics of this nest with my new macro lens and realized that its so close to the deck boards that the camera couldn't fit into this space without literally touching the eggs 😅 🤦‍♂️ phone pic it is!! #Birding
