After a long time on #TeamBird (with some work on #TeamBat & side projects on #TeamInvert) I am entering #TeamFish!! We are now 3 weeks into a brand new experimental system in the lab. Bettas!!!! They are so gorgeous! Excited to do some fun new socio/cognitive research with them. It's been such a long road...

The swans have arrived at the lake by my house. There were about 8 of them when I drove by. 🦢 #TeamBird
Saw this beauty on the way home from church. There was a freshly hit squirrel in the road, the eagle was competing against three crows. #eagle #DeadSquirrel #TeamBird #snow
