Wrote a little something about ecological fitting, a concept that has gently rewired my experience of hikes and wildflower walks, and what it means if most organisms are living, not their best possible life, but well enough. Not the fittest, but the fitted

Not the fittest, but the fitted

(Photo by me) A little knowledge of natural history is a dangerous thing. This is, first, because knowing a few things — the names of some common wildflowers, or the songs of some neighborhood birds — begets curiosity about more things, and soon enough you've gone from installing…

Heard about this behavior in crows, where they are known to mate with dead crows. I took this video of a Tree Swallow, where I believe, it is trying to mate with a dead tree swallow on the unpaved road. Not sure if that’s what’s happening…Have you seen something like this before?

I have been supporting England ever since I started watching World Cup! That's since 98' world cup. However, I have been living in the US for 9 years now, so for this World Cup, my full support is for the US. I know we won't win the whole thing haha but I hope we make it as far as we can in this WC!

What an amazing World Cup this has been! I was very skeptical about the whole thing. The underdogs have given amazing football, great surprises! What a day for Curacao, Cape Verde and now Saudi Arabia!

I don't understand the concept of having 1000s of eBird checklists just to be at the top of the table...I understand eBirding every bird you see and having a lot of checklists..that's still data...but, just having random 2 minute "complete" checklists and 100 birds for the year in May?
