Interesting story about scientists who develop allergies to their subject of research through repeated exposure. Studying ragweed pollen and developing hay fever is one thing. Developing anaphylaxis to snake venom – even venom that’s normally harmless to humans – is another.
I think my favorite was the butterfly researcher who developed severe asthma when exposed to sulphur butterflies, so he switched to killer bees.

One of a pair of bluebirds I saw perched on a cable. One of them flew off as I approached, stopped on a nearby lawn, then flew back up to perch on the edge of a roof. The other waited on the cable

It’s weird how my photography has mostly turned into pictures of birds lately. I blame covid and iNaturalist.
I saw a *lot* of different birds on a walk in the park yesterday. Here are two Western Bluebirds – one male and amazingly bright blue, the other either female or a juvenile male. I’m not happy with the image noise on the first one, but I *really* like the way the second one came out.

I love how searching for “mockingbird” on Flickr turns up photos of both mockingbirds and cosplayers dressed as Mockingbird among the results from people I follow.
