@dhitchcox Whenever someone decides to remake Magnolia with people instead of birds, this should go in the opening sequence

@davesis1 Asleep at the Twitter switch here as usual. Lots of great birding in and around Philly with Heinz NWR being a great starting point.

@claytoncargill @netflix It wasn’t The Watcher, was it? I got kind of addicted to how bad it was. There *has* to be a payoff, I thought…no way this stays so bad. Man was I wrong.

@claytoncargill @ClintonCargill @CharisFleming @nolancargill A parer, apparently. Whatever TF that is?

@TheBirdist Thanks, Nick! Let’s go birding!

To be fair, a few folks suggest it’s a wren but they are largely ignored

Person on Nextdoor posts pic of Carolina Wren roosting on porch. 180 comment thread follows with folks passionately arguing whether it’s a bat or an owl and if it should be a) killed, b) left alone, or c) taken to rehab and I feel like this is our world in miniature.

@evornithology @AmOrnith I’m leery of the emphasis on “harmful/exclusionary” names. I think trying to adjudicate which are that and which are not risks swamping the whole enterprise. Changing all honorifics seems more doable. Maybe they mean all honorifics + more? Hope so.

@birdchick @FalconHeights Guess you missed the news about the big taxonomic reshuffle?

[Jeffrey A. Gordon @jeffgyr]

[Jeffrey A. Gordon @jeffgyr]
