An important read by @jamellebouie.net
“The United States of America as understood for the last half century no longer exists…
What's happening now is a fight over what will take its place, with the early lead taken by the people currently filling concentration camps with innocent immigrants.”

Ant Course is back! This year, in Mexico:
The Tropical Royal Flycatcher is a bird that nests in tropical riparian zones and they have an incredible crest that can be difficult to see.
They display their crests during courtship, but they also spend a lot of time preening after catching insects and they'll often throw their crest then.
I was taking pics out my window and this Crow was hollering away...I said HEY! why so much yelling?? and I got this look and I can barely stand it 😂 Crows are awesome! 🥰 #birds
I looked up this warbler to see if it migrates and Birds of the World said nope, "sedentary".
The Spectacled Redstart calls the Andes Mountains home from Colombia south Bolivia. Like our North American warbler friends, this bird feeds on insects. 🪶

A weevil with a pseudoscorpion attached to its front leg, hitching a ride. Pseudoscorpions will often use other insects as Ubers to carry them around the forest, a commensal relationship called phoresis. It was exciting to see this in action. #invert

Some weevil goodness. This little friend has excellent camouflage for life in a mossy environment.
