Hey guess what? It’s the best day of the week! It’s #CrowOrNo day!
Today’s challenge is brought to you by @Sciwhat. So what kind of a peeping Tom do they have here? A #CrowOrNo? Answer at 5:30 PST! Good luck!
Woof, I’m pretty late tonight, but data always takes precedent. Thanks for your patience! This week’s #CrowOrNo photo is...a crow!!!
I loved how so many of you were using the bricks as a size reference. That was a great idea! The other telling feature is the bill shape and size.
The heavier bill and body suggest it’s not a grackle or other blackbird.
So well done everyone and thanks again to @Sciwhat for submitting the photo. If you have a photo you would like to see in a future game just let me know!!!

Omg apparently he @‘d tons of folks that RT’d this, to play armchair psychiatrist and double down on it being a raven. WHAT A WANKER 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 I’m dying.

For new followers/crow fans, both crows and ravens have blue eyes as babies. It transitions to the adult brown around 3-4 months. Some species OTOH, have brown eyes that turn blue!

Here’s the thing about red squirrels...I dig their whole vibe. Here’s a thread of me just being delighted about them.
An explanation of their cache sites or middens. FYI I totally blanked on the word “scales” (you can tell by the long pause) but I meant to say scales not leaves.
My favorite midden yet!!! BTW did you know they can chatter without stopping for up to an hour?!

It’s Wednesday, right? For sure? I’m not falling for this “it’s Wednesday, but not really” nonesense again today.
Ok well since it is actually a Wednesday...let’s get our #CrowOrNo on! New players: just tell me if at least one of these birds is a crow or not before 5:30ish PST. After that I post the answer and ID tips. Good luck!
You folks ready for your #CrowOrNo answer? The bird on the right is not a crow, it’s a raven! But the bird on the left is...

These responses make me want to crawl under a rock. Honestly I don’t even know what I want to do which is terrifying enough, but add the “it took 5 years and 100+ applications” to the mix and it feels completely fucking hopeless.
Do I even want to stay in academia? IDK! I can’t imagine not doing researching but at the same time academia makes me so unhappy sometimes. And maybe I just want to stay in research because it’s the only life I’ve known.
Then there’s the whole issue of uprooting my whole life again and again over the next several years to chase something I don’t even know if I want. How do people with families swing that? Like they obviously do but...how?

Nature is metal 🤟
This is a bleeding tooth fungus or Hydnellum peckii. Despite their deadly appearance these mushrooms are nontoxic, though they’re very bitter and bad to eat.
They are also key players in healthy forests because they are symbiotic with the trees around them, exchanging nutrients and fixed CO2. Kind of like some lichen species this fungus can indicate polluted or unhealthy forests.

Anyone want to guess what I have to say about that “crow shares food with hungry mouse” video?
If you don’t know what I’m talking about you can find the now viral video here: reddit.com/r/AnimalsBeing…
So is this crow generously sharing food with a hungry mouse? I’ll give you two options: long answer or short answer. The short answer is: no. The long answer is: no, but here’s why.
