Three-wattled Bellbird
Male is unmistakable. Body dark rufous, head and breast gleaming white, with three bare wattles hanging down off the bill. Usually perches conspicuously when singing; the far-carrying bell-like notes and strange metallic alien noises are fascinating additions to the forest cacophony. Female is completely different, overall dull olive with yellower streaking on underparts. The fairly large size, plump shape, small rounded head, and plain face help with identification. Found in forests, usually in the canopy. Easiest to find when singing, but also feeds at fruiting trees.

#DidYouKnow: #Greenwashing (a compound word modelled on "whitewash"), also called "green sheen", is a form of marketing spin in which green PR and green marketing are deceptively used to persuade the public that an organization's products, aims and policies are environmentally friendly.

"Why should a country bear the costs of reducing #emissions when the benefits are shared globally? This column re-evaluates this view in light of new climate damage estimates based on global temperature variation, showing that the economic case for unilateral decarbonisation is far stronger than previously thought.
These findings fundamentally alter the cost-benefit analysis of #climate action."

I sometimes feel bad sending emails to professors asking for specific papers as I am sure they have better things they can do. But then I almost always get a pleasant email back and none have ever said "no" to the request.
So ask away!

Sonnet 106 - CVI
When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme,
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have express'd
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies
Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
And for they looked but with divining eyes,
They had not skill enough your worth to sing:
For we, which now behold these present days,
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.

"I’m only sorry I couldn’t have had as good a chance as a boy, and have been put to my trade regularly."
American inventor Margaret E. Knight was born #OTD in 1838.
She founded the Eastern Paper Bag Company in 1870, creating paper bags for groceries similar in form to the ones that would be used in later generations. Knight received dozens of patents in different fields and became a symbol for women's empowerment.

First year for our raspberry plant. It is a fall bearing type, but we can’t remember exactly which one… We planted it last April. it grew so quickly and gave us fruits from end of July until late October. For a total of 0.64 kg. It was always a nice treat when visiting the garden 😋
A few days ago, we pruned it slightly. I’m wondering how it will develop until end of this year. Hopefully the harvest this year will be as generous or even more 😀

Striped Woodpecker
The only small woodpecker in its range. Fairly common but easily overlooked in a variety of wooded and forested habitats, parks, farmland, and matorral with taller hedges and trees. Usually found as ones and twos, foraging on smaller branches from low bushes to tall Eucalyptus trees. Sometimes joins with feeding flocks of rayaditos and other species, mainly in winter. Black-and-white pattern much like other small woodpeckers, with barred upperparts and dark streaks (or stripes) on breast. Male has a red nape patch.

Some of my neighbors bring me citrus and herbs they grow in their yards. I'm now able to return the favor since I started growing dill, cilantro, sage, rosemary. I might even have some figs, ginger and tomatoes to share. This sort of thing that makes a neighborhood better.

When I landed on Mastodon, I didn't share other people's messages so much. Coming from Twitter, I was used to curate my own content and be restrictive about sharing, to avoid flooding my followers.
The absence of algorithm here led me to revise this "editorial approach" - now I share a lot more. I do hope that a future Masto update will bring a way to isolate my own posts, but in the meantime, sharing is the most powerful tool I have to add visibility to messages and people.
Sharing is caring.
