our NBA Finals Drive Thru Gear Grab is underway on Pennsylvania Street, and cars are lined up down the block 🚗👀 we are giving away free gear to the first 5,000 cars! basketball is different in Indiana. #YesCers

@Pacers @GainbridgeFH Who came up with this asinine idea? Thanks to you, I'm going to be late picking up my kids.

drive thru and fill up on Pacers swag for the NBA Finals 🚗 the first 5,000 fans through the line in a vehicle on the Pennsylvania St. side of @GainbridgeFH will receive a free bag of gear!

Happy Earth Day! Reminder that this current administration is working to actively dismantle decades-old environmental regulations. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

@RyanFMandelbaum That's how I found my first yellow lady's slipper!

i was driving outside calgary toward a spot for great gray owls but really had to pee so i pulled off onto a side road for some privacy and that's where the great gray owl was

@RyanFMandelbaum This reminded me of an old post from Birding Family Circus.

one piece of advice for birders: if i am looking at a bird, do not tell me how you saw the species better somewhere else previously!! interesting facts, good conversation, jokes about the bird, comments about the current situation, all ok! but please, let me enjoy this moment!

I hate when the self doubt begins to creep in.

Lakewatching really kicked my ass yesterday. Close to six hours of staring out at Lake Michigan trying to ID distant ducks, gulls, and jaegers. I don't know how that comes easy for some folks, but this is one of my shortcomings as a birder.

I don't get on this app often, but I'm sad to see some of the people I used to follow on here are gone.

I'm genuinely baffled by the people who don't believe in dinosaurs and think all fossils in museums are fake. What more evidence do you need?

I have nothing but contempt for ChatGPT.

@guttenbirder22 Mini terror birds.

Red-legged Seriema is the best bird in the world, and I won’t be taking any critique of this opinion.

Happy to see that the Polyphemus Moth is still here!

@Jess_inthewild As fruitless as it is trying to reason with the cat crazies, I'm glad there's people like you who don't put up with this nonsense.

Me: *knows appealing to a common ground helps solve problems & get people on the same page to find solutions to controversial issues* Also me on a video about the consequences of free roaming domestic cats:

@guttenbirder22 What medium are you using?

#PortfolioDay Hi, I’m Andrew, and I consider myself a semi-pro bird illustrator

@baggins_bow I've had this happen to me, but I've also sent my share of "I'm running _ minutes late" texts.

PSA, if you contact a fellow birder to ask if they want to go birding and you pick the time (7 a.m., in this case) and place, don’t do this

@evornithology I recognize some of those names! Great photographers.

The outdoor cat argument made it to one of the groups I moderate. A gardening group, nonetheless. People will blame everything else for bird population declines but will refuse to accept (their) cats as part of the problem.

I bought a bonsai kit ages ago that came with jack pine seeds, but I have no idea if any of them are still viable. Plus, why go through all of that trouble when I have lots of mini trees already?

I may have a use for all of the volunteer juniper trees growing on my property. Bonsai!

@evornithology What'd you say to piss them off? Not that it's difficult to do...

The Outdoor Cat People got me. But I’m out of Twitter jail!
