    Heat waves.
    Thanks to @climateadam.bsky.social's most recent video, which helped inform this comic and gave me the kick I needed to make it.

    What to do if you find a baby bunny. Thanks @portmanteauface.bsky.social for the suggestion!

    A six-panel comic titled "what to do if you find a wild baby bunny in North America." There's a drawing of a cute baby bunny on a patch of grass with some daisies, and it's saying "You found me. Hello." A drawing of rabbit nests. The text says "Most North American rabbits don't burrow. The mom rabbit makes a nest on the ground." There's an image of a circle of dried grass against a green lawn, labeled "It's well-hidden under dry grass or leaves." Then there's an image of baby rabbits curled up in fur, labeled "Underneath, the young are in a fur-lined bowl". "Check your lawn before you mow!" An image of a mom rabbit nursing her tiny young who are crawling out of the nest against green grass and daisies. Text says "If you find a nest and don't see the mom, don't worry. She only visits for a few minutes every day to nurse." The mom says "Dinner is served." Text at the bottom says "Leave the nest alone and be sure to keep dogs and cats away." An image of the top of the nest against green grass with a tic tac toe pattern of dried grass on it. Text says "If you think the babies have been orphaned, do this test: Use sticks or long grass to make a Tic Tac Toe pattern on the nest. Come back after at least 18 hours. If the pattern hasn't been disturbed, contact a wildlife rehabilitator." An image of a small baby bunny sitting on some green grass. Text says "A baby bun leaves the nest in 3-4 weeks. If you find a bun on its own that looks like this, ears stick up, open eyes, 4-5 inch (10-13 cm) long, hops well, furred, uninjured, then it's just fine. Don't kidnap it!" A cute bunny is jumping over green grass, and another is sitting up and saying "Thank you for bunderstanding." Text says "If not, or if a bun was touched by a cat, contact a wildlife rehabilitator. These are just the bun basics. For more detailed advice, consult your local wildlife rescue!"

    A woodcarver named Becky W (vortenjou.bsky.social, rosehip.wordpress.com) made a sculpture of my nuthatch comic, showing a white-breasted nuthatch sitting on real nuts and hatching one of them. I'm so happy

    A wooden carved and painted sculpture of a white-breasted nuthatch sitting on some nuts with a nutmeat with wings flying away into the sky. A four-panel comic. The first panel shows an arrow pointing down at a happy-looking nuthatch bird, and a caption: This is a nuthatch. The caption says "It's called a nuthatch because... wait no" and we see the nuthatch standing on a pile of nuts, tucking them under it. The caption says "That's not... wait" and the nuthatch is roosting comfortably on the pile of nuts. The caption says NO. And we see that one of the nuts has hatched and some walnut meat is flying happily into the air on little wings.

    ICYMI, I made a comic about heat waves. It was stressful and emotional to make, but as @katharinehayhoe.com tells us, we have to talk about this.

    This is such a perfect description of the great blue heron experience

    @fallinghawks.bsky.social
    I remember when I first heard one of those guys. I'd seen them just a few times and I was always spellbound -- their size, their colors, the graceful stillness as they hunted. Then the bastard took off uttering the most horrifying GARAAAAHHR which sent my hairs on end lol

    I just got another AI book promo email. Things get really funny when the AI thinks I’m writing a taut family drama instead of a book about pigeons

    Did you grow up in a family that looked perfectly normal from the outside? Hi Rosemary, I picked up A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching: Getting to Know the World's Most Misunderstood Bird because that question stopped me cold.

    4 more days of metal heron tshirt preorders, which come with a free sticker:
    topatoco.com/collections/...
    My favorite part of this shirt is that I figured out how to make cattails look metal.

    As an author, I’m constantly getting AI-written promotional emails now, but the sheer length of this one blew my mind. There’s something wild about spending all day writing, carefully balancing sentences and picking the right words, and then opening my email and seeing this gargantuan slop tome

    This is odd. Looks like AI art based on my art, with a bunch of extra material added. Can anyone who speaks German shed some light on this?

    As a Canadian, I feel a duty to share my nation’s cultural products with you. We have some fantastic homegrown musical acts and some jaw-dropping tunes! We also have this, a 1984 song about how everyone should go for soda because it’s “better than slander” youtu.be/MXnTbmPxv5g?...

    What's a wildlife or environment issue you might like to see me tackle/explain via a comic? In the past I've done comics on how to help baby birds, how to help turtles cross roads, how to stop birds from hitting windows, etc etc.

    Not a dumb question at all. Cats have bacteria in their mouths and claws that spells death for any creature. Dogs are not as much of a risk, though obviously any perforations are bad! But any critter that has had a cat grab it needs antibiotics. Same for people - cat bites are super dangerous

    The artist, Kim Mitchell, is known for this song - and another one that is an ode to, of all things, patio lanterns youtu.be/6ILAdKBicMc?...
