I was asked to officiate the wedding of my very dear friends and while that was like the highest honor imaginable a close second was being asked to host an informative nature walk for all of the out of town guests the morning before the ceremony to give them a taste of the local ecology.

Not to brag but I picked the best spot and we got to hear an absolute orchestra of alligator bellowing in addition to witnessing this big guy

Highlight of the morning was probably our Sandhill crane courtship dance impersonation contest, which was fiercely competitive and even drew a small crowd of unrelated spectators. Our winner absolutely became a Sandhill crane for 30 seconds and his vigorous leaping and flapping won him a brand new pair of binoculars as a trophy.

I also made these custom stickers to hand out as prizes for trivia questions and spotting challenges during the walk, and everyone wore them around the reception with great pride.

I love sharing the ecology of my home with others and this was such a fun way to do it! I had a very joyful weekend and I may have even converted a few new birders 😏

like I'm sorry but I will keep posting about this until people stop being cunts and shitheads so I think we'll be here a good while. every time I talk about the colonial framing of australia and how colonialism is at work in modern day understandings of this country I only need to count to ten before every european and usamerican in sight starts spouting complete bullshit. why don't you all take a deep breath and examine why the fuck you're so wedded to the idea of australia you have in your head

"suggesting that Australia has uniquely hostile flora and fauna isn't wrong" FACT CHECK:

"aboriginal tribes" FUCK OFF!

  • if you can capitalise Australia you know how to capitalise Aboriginal
  • "tribes" is not the right word here even remotely. try again next time. "Aboriginal people" would be a great start. being able to name even one country or language group would shock me to death. give it a go though

"marsupials reign supreme" don't make me laugh

  • CHECK: why are you using language that inherently ascribes a particular morality to animals? what motivates you to frame Australia as uniquely 'ruled by animals'? what else might this imply and where might this framing have come from?

"most venomous and hostile" why are you putting those adjectives together?

  • Australia's most venomous snake (the inland taipan) has not killed a single person in recorded history because of how rare it is for that snake to come anywhere near humans. again, refer to the stats above
  • "hostility" is another example of ascribing negative moral values to an animal where it is not at all appropriate

"one of the less hospitable places on earth" colonialism check!

  • hospitable to whom?
  • you mean that pre-colonial Australia didn't follow western ideals of housing and agriculture don't you? (<- there very much was agricultural practices in First Nations groups for the record)
  • you're implying that the land had to be tamed by colonisers, aren't you?
  • come on. be so for real right now

a few pngs I made of some vintage aquamice, I did NOT know how many companies made these just to be promotional material! Wish companies did this more still, this is like 10x better than getting an okay pen

free to use ofc, credit if you wanna :3
