I discovered a buzzword important for #nature, and every #museum and #gallery: #SlowLooking. Here's my article how to do it, great for kids: steady.page/en/naturemat...

What is the “best” plant identification app or site, both in terms of accuracy and worthiness of supporting? I usually get by using plant .id and plantnet .org (once each for free), but I sometimes want to ID enough plants that it could be worth a subscription.

A watchful Wilson's warbler, Cardellina pusilla, along the trails in Discovery Park last month
spent the weekend making this huge intentional brush pile for wildlife. I've made multiple small ones over the past few years, but only dreamt of creating something this big. until now.

A cool thing about the Seattle Frontrunners group runs is that this barred owl (Strix varia) is not even the first owl I've seen this close on a run. (This one was along the ravine trail in Ravenna Park this morning.)
Chris Packham claims sheeps are destroying precious British habitats and taxpayers are footing the bill.

I love a good borage: Forget-me-nots, Myosotis scorpiodes, outside Acadia National Park back in June
Re: iNaturalist getting involved with Google genAI...feeding our comments into things...
Due to continued silence from iNaturalist about everything, October 31. That’s my deadline. That’s MORE THAN FAIR amount of time for them to:
1) Have a proper outline of the project and exactly what it will be.
2. Have a solid opt-in to the project, so no users are auto opted in without their consent
3. Have added account deletion options from an over-year-old feature request to add ways to delete including without removing ID’s for others along with anonymization. If data loss is really such a problem to them (which I think it should be) not having a way to do such a type of delete should be TOP PRIORITY especially with all this genAI bs going on...already it sounds like some power users have fully deleted their accounts over this, tired of waiting.
- Signed, someone with almost 25k ID’s for others, and almost 4k observations, including some firsts on the site (including new species to science) and other rare reports.
Please boost because I don't think most users know what is going on. All this info is mostly occurring on their separate forum, which you need to make a separate account to join. This is part of the issue of lack of transparency!
By golly it has been fun having this family of Cooper’s Hawks in the neighborhood. I miss our song birds, but I’m saving gobs of money in bird feed. 
I took this with my iPhone .

Maybe you'll find this amusing. I've tooted a TON about enjoying watching our Bird Buffet out the window. It has attracted gobs of fun birds over the years. And they occasionally attracted a Cooper's Hawk. Which scared the birds away. Well now we have a CH family nearby. And while they are a lot of fun to listen to and observe, no one dares to visit our feeders or suet.
