Balloon Juice - On The Road - Albatrossity - The Chiricahuas week 3
Albatrossity My god, the country is going to hell not in a handbasket, but in a flaming dumpster full of orange pancake makeup and court orders that have apparently been used as toilet paper. Has there ever been a country that went so bad so fast? Maybe American exceptionalism is not all it’s cracked up …

What birds can teach us about repurposing waste
Modern cities are evolution engines. Urban snails in the Netherlands and lizards in Los Angeles have developed lighter shells and larger scales to cope with the heat island effect, where temperatures can be several degrees above the surrounding area.

#fluffy #birds time of year again; these (checks) Coot chicks are adorable.
#wildlife

Two extremely fluffy coot chicks, they are mostly grey fluff, with some white fluff on their chests, and yellow/red/white/black beaks and yellow/one head fluff highlights. They're VERY cute. They're swimming in a pond around lily pads.

The same two coots as in the previous pic, together with one of their parents, partially obscured by a flower stem.

A zoom on coot parent feet, which are underwater here and standing on a decking; they're white with black stripes and have quite a lot of area when standing on them.
