@Albatrossity I mean can we talk about this range map? 🤩
@Albatrossity one of the coolest birds I saw in CR 🇨🇷!
Ben Bolker@SCO_SOC <https://www.sco-soc.ca/> is looking to upgrade its website, but they’re a small society without much $. Need folks to be able to renew & pay for membership via the site. Any good, low cost recommendations? (🇨🇦 hosting & company ideal). @LeaGrie

Carl T. BergstromOver the years I've been proud to support Seattle's amazing PAWS pet and wildlife rescue organization. Their new rehab facility is phenomenal: https://paws.org/wildlife/
I first learned about PAWS from board member Kris Tsujikawa; crow enthusiasts may know her photography from twitter.
Anyway, if anyone wants to donate $200+ to her current PAWS campaign at https://give.paws.org/fundraiser/5383046, I'll send you a 12x12 metal print (no frame needed) of the crow below, just like the one I have on my own wall.
Know any undergrads considering graduate school in #ornithology? Point them toward our free Guide to Graduate Studies in Ornithology in the U.S. & Canada, compiled by volunteers from the WOS Student & Early Professional Committee. https://wilsonsociety.org/students-and-ep/guide-to-graduate-studies/
These infractions are just the latest in a recent string for Coastal GasLink. Last week, The Narwhal documented numerous instances of spring melt overwhelming pipeline sites and sediment spilling into the surrounding wetlands on Wet’suwet’en territory. https://t.co/eodt21N414 https://t.co/IbDNjsmHcb
'Heartbreaking': an overhead view of Coastal GasLink sediment spills into Wet'suwet'en waters, wetlands
On an Indigenous-led monitoring flight over the Coastal GasLink pipeline, The Narwhal documented worksites overwhelmed by spring melt and numerous environmental infractions including slope failures, flooded worksites and sediment entering wetlands and waterways
The loss of access to Twitter data under the new pricing plan was a dire blow to our research at the UW-CIP.
Now being forced to delete the data that dozens of people spent years collecting, curating, and studying—outrageous. It’s like burning lab notebooks, an attack on science for the sake of pure malice.
(UPDATE: it appears that the deletion mandates may not apply to us given our data use, but they are still devastating to the groups affected.)
