This is going to be awesome!

Here’s the thing: Kyiv’s air defense kept the city safe last night (guests included), shooting down all 31 of the missiles Russia fired at it. But it’s running out of air defense missiles — some fear before the end of this month. Step up, Speaker Mike Johnson Congressdotgov.

Last night, University of Guelph Senate, I spoke against the abolition of the BA Major in Spanish/Hispanic Studies. Most Senate resolutions pass w/ 95%+ support; my arguments reduced support for getting rid of Spanish to 50-51%. Plse RT if you support universities having Spanish programs!

Happy Earth Day! In another 15 days my next book, The Birds That Audubon Missed, will be published by Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster on May 7. I'm grateful to the renowned artist/ornithologist David Sibley for his generous and insightful comments about the book.

Who the hell is out there teaching people to say "MEM-wahhhhh" for memoir? Like, that's not even close to French, if that's what you're going for. This pronunciation exists at the precise intersection of pretentious and wrong.

It’s National Go Birding Day! Tools like eBird & Merlin Bird ID make finding and identifying birds easier than ever. There’s never been a better time to be a birder. Here’s my story on falling in love with birds in the golden age of birding for Scientific American scientificamerican.com/article/we-are…
