Today's #BirdsAtTea is for @smitjosephine & @STzElephants who requested #seabirds: the Brown Noddy. Seabirds are great: I studied them for my PhD, and love the sea! Brown Noddies are pelagic seabirds that tell us about tropical ocean systems. 1/5 #ornithology pic D. Peterson

Today's #BirdsAtTea is for @DaniRabaiotti who is currently sharing joy @realscientists but appears woefully ignorant of Africa's best predator. My vote goes to the Crowned Eagle. These awesome #raptors illustrate importance of predation in evolutionary history 1/5 #ornithology

Would you give 10 cents per year to help conserve #tigers #elephants #rhinos #apes #seaturtles? If you're a U.S. taxpayer, you already do. Tell your reps you wish to continue supporting the Multinational Species Conservation Fund #MSCF #WorldWildlifeDay news.mongabay.com/2018/02/vanish…
