Ahhh, there’s the obvious conclusion.
If we can de-extinct* species, surely there’s no point in worrying about endangered species anymore! We can bring them back anytime!
*depending on your definition of de-extinction.
And considering one of the heads chose to go on Joe Rogan's show i wouldn't be at all surprised if they're encouraging this
GEE WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING
Why does it matter if this administration torpedos EVERY major animal conservation law, we can just bring them back! We are very smart.

I wonder if Neil’s owner/s know about how we celebrate the date of that photo
Neil himself is long gone from this world, and yet every April 13th this group of internet strangers come together to celebrate him and his act of banging out the tunes. Like an entire holiday, all for this little guy
Cause I think it’s pretty beautiful if you wanna get all sentimental and sappy

Early this morning, a Chipping Sparrow shjowed up, and then a bit later, I also spotted a Purple Finch in my yard. Spring migration is definitely on the way, which also means that my livestream may get a bit more exciting in the mornings. You can watch it on my Youtube channel.
And - I forgot this but a little prize is always great - here is also a little reminder that you can vote for me in this Birdfy challenge. It is very easy and just needs an email and a name. Thank you for considering.
The cam is streaming live right now too :)

Feather care after a bath – one of my favorite birds in the garden: the dunnock
I've been seeing a grackle around my house lately that has I think three white tail feathers while all the other feathers are their usual iridescent black color. Do you know why that might be?
probably a harmless genetic mutation like leucism/piebaldism, or in this case since it’s so few feathers, feathers can sometimes grow back paler/white after injury

“Pica Pearlescence”
A watercolor painting of a black-billed magpie I just completed for the Changeling Artist Collective’s Operation Gaia, an online art auction to benefit the National Audubon Society. The auction will be taking place at the art collective’s Facebook page on January 20th at 8pm EST.
The astonishing beauty of magpies is often overlooked. I wanted to emphasize the iridescent in the tail and wings of these lovely birds. I used pearlescent pigments throughout the painting, which the scan does not provide justice. To see this painting from different angles, here is a video: https://youtu.be/ZKWpkYmngvI

My contribution this year to the Polar Lights zine, tried something more painterly because it's fun ^u^
Go get yourself a copy and support Antarctic conservation research~

All proceeds go to finfree.org. Many talented folks came together to create a massive fully illustrated zine, acting as a love letter to our oceans that also helps a great cause!
