Probably just a possum

Breaking my accidental vow of silence here, but I have a story in this one - Deus Deceptor, around 54:00 in the premium version.

@astro_beauty @hood_naturalist @NPR @alieward you’ve got to get India on @ologies!!!!!

I was featured on @NPR, speaking about the recent X flare, its associated coronal mass ejection, the blackouts that it caused, and its associated solar storm that’s on its way as an after effect! No matter what that Atlanta accent gone peek thru 😂

@fayflyer Not trying to be an asshole, but I often see unleashed dogs at lake Fayetteville and other city parks just tearing ass all over the place harassing the local fauna or people…

@fayflyer Was this dog leashed?

A German Shepherd was rescued by the Fire Department this week after falling through the ice at Lake Fayetteville. fayettevilleflyer.com/2024/01/19/fir…

@OKWildlifeDept Beautifully written Alts. Thank you.

Can we interest you in a little contest?? Every year our magazine (THE Outdoor Oklahoma Magazine) hosts a Reader's Photography Showcase. Oklahomies from all over the state submit their 3 best wildlife/outdoor photos to be published in the July/August issue. Here are a few of our favorites from last year's group of winners:

@BryanBox7 @skwinnicki Oh cool! Apparently chickadees are especially known for having diverse accents: audubon.org/news/learn-you…

I’m scared of Great Horned Owls (long story), so the pair that lives across the road from my mom have been spooking me I teased her that she needs to get better owls in the yard. Well, guess who just hooted so loud I could record this as a voice memo from inside my bedroom:

@skwinnicki Best of luck! Thanks for being one of the few remaining accounts that makes it worthwhile to randomly check in on Twitter for! Wishing you all the wisdom and valor in 2024!

@clantoncs Ironically my mom and I are planning to go out looking for Short-eared Owls tomorrow evening, so I’d just be happy with more good owls in the short term! Wisdom and valor would be an added bonus

@skwinnicki You’re so lucky to have one so nearby! Must be a good omen from Greek goddess Athena and her pet owl. Here’s hoping that Wisdom and “Valor in War” come your way in 2024! Actually those sound pretty great, so I’d lean into it! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl_of_At…

@clantoncs Ours do the “you allll” on the second phrase typically— I was hoping this one would but it only gave the first phrase a few times before flying off

@skwinnicki A couple counties east of here they say “WHOO cooks for YOU?! … WHO cooks for YOU ALLllllll?”

@skwinnicki Love a barred owl call! I love that they have different accents by region. Yours is like “who cooks for you; Who Cooks fOR YOU?!” Where I am (NW AR) they say “WHO cooks for yOU-r, who cooks for YOU-R-rrr.” SW AR: “WHO WHO who? Whooo?”

@skwinnicki Lucky shot of my neighborhood owl last summer:

@alexahenning @MatthewrMoore This is pathetic. When are you going to get tf out of Arkansas? No one wants you here except Sarah, and she doesn’t even want to be here.

@MatthewrMoore Your reporting should be based on reading the actual bill. Especially if you’re going to write a story and claim you understand it.

@SecondNatureMB @Lucent508 😃 my god, is this the last awesome, wholesome exchange on this cursed platform?! Awesome photos! Can’t wait to see the drawings!

@skwinnicki WHAT?! TIL there are *little* Blue Herons. I mean I guess it’s implied by GBH, but still shook right now. At least they went with naming them “little” instead of something more derogatory like “lesser”…

Little Blue Herons are delightful in general, but I especially adore that hint of purple that they have on their necks, 10/10 Huntington Beach State Park (South Carolina, USA) last week

For 2 years I watched a borderlands black bear cub grow up on 4 of my remote wildlife cameras. I named the cub Monsoon after watching videos of it relishing swims in monsoon pools. Monsoon is now roaming solo. The borderlands are wild and wonderful.

why have I been including normal photos of Nobel Laureate and animal behavior star Niko Tinbergen in my teaching slides when this photo exists?? (source: royalsociety.org/blog/2018/05/w…)

BIG-EYE JELLYHEAD On a recent expedition exploring the Pacific Abyssal Plains, our #deepsea research team captured footage of a 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢 𝘤𝘧. 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘢 from the deep-sea lander camera at 4800m. This is a rare sighting of a deep-sea cirrrate octopod at this depth.

@BlueHogReport Probably in a bathroom at mar a lago by now.
