🐦❤️🐦 Let's talk about kori bustard courtship! At the height of the mating display, a male inflates his esophagus to as much as 4 times its normal size, then bows toward the female with his neck inflated and bill snapping. He may also emit a low-pitched booming sound to woo her!

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but National Zoo's giant pandas are departing DC today, November 8. They leave behind a city without pandas for the first time in 23 years.

Safe travels! You’ll be missed. 🤧

I've been wanting to visit Idaho to report this early learning story since August ... of last year! I finally made the trip last month.

It's exciting to see this story — and the collaboration with The Associated Press — come to life this morning.
