@baggins_bow Yes, at a two-hour drive from Toronto. Some great grassland habitat where species such as UPSA, GRSP, BOBO etc. and even LOSH breed.

@anya_wanders Lovely thread! I love the detailing that goes into the posterior side of these bronzes as well. This is a picture of this idol from behind.

Came across this in my archives. Ardhanaari bronze, from Tiruvenkadu, now in Chennai.

I love the detailing that has gone into distinguishing the male and female sides; in the waist area, matted locks on the right vs the tresses on the left etc.

He’s back!!!

We just captured male Bobolink LGB (light blue, green, blue) for the third year in a row here in Oswego. That means he’s flown to Paraguay and back at least three times- roughly 30,000 total miles! An incredible feat for a bird that weighs as much as six nickels. 🤯

@ariad_n Happy birthday!!🙂

Saw a Kirtland's Warbler (the rarest warbler in this part of the world) migrating through the city today and it gave some stunning views!! Some lucky folks even heard it sing.

What a #spring this is turning out to be!

Latest lifer bird is a Willow Ptarmigan!! What a privilege it is to see this bird of the Arctic tundra, and that too up close in your local birding spot!

Poetic metre is very cool. I'm gaining a whole new appreciation for poets who manage to write parsable poems while adhering to the requirements of their chosen metre.

@cobbaltt @oligoglot Thanks 🙏

A first-of-its-kind study of dragonfly and damselfly species in India's Western Ghats - one of the world's most important biodiversity hotspots - has revealed findings that are both fascinating and worrying.

The study, which was funded by the Indian government's Department of Science and Technology and held across two years (2021-2023) and five Indian states, found that 143 different species of dragonflies and damselflies inhabit the Western Ghats, with at least 40 of them being endemic to the region, meaning they are found nowhere else in the world.

But the researchers also discovered something troubling - at least 79 additional species that were previously reported in the region were not found, an almost 35% decline in the number of dragonfly and damselfly species in the Western Ghats.

@baggins_bow Also the surprise factor! There's always some unusual guest turning up in your city.

Reads like an oxymoron but a very co-operative LeConte's Sparrow from yesterday! Was out in the open and stayed there for quite some time too!
