@dTXTransitPosts Denton uses roughly 75% of its water resources for lawn irrigation. In a way it makes reduction easier bc it’s a non essential use.

@dTXTransitPosts 😿I thot we cud b classmates in planning

@dTXTransitPosts Wait, UNT? What program?

@dTXTransitPosts This sounds like a great thing to do over the span of a week or two, like pick a park a day and have a fun shirt out and back so there’s no death 🥵

We're excited to announce the launch of the Bird Migration Explorer, a first-of-its-kind digital platform that reveals migration data for birds across the western hemisphere—just in time for fall migration! Check out this free, interactive platform today: birdmigrationexplorer.org

@josemmontalva @DrEMLichtenberg Ah, thanks Jose on info about the sub species. Someone on iNat had just tagged one of my xylocopa as the texas morph and I was curious about it

@DrEMLichtenberg @lopezuribelab @NashTurley @RichterBrand You will notice over here (South-Central) we have two subspecies, Xylocopa v. virginica the common eastern one, and a Texan morph Xylocopa v. texana. I observed that they have different phenology at least here in Oklahoma

For #PollinatorWeek we'll be celebrating beautiful diversity of #NativeBees Here's a large eastern carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica), they are sometimes confused for bumble bees but note the shiny hairless butt :) #PollinatorWeek2021 photo by @NashTurley
