Often, if you see a lizard run up & do pushups, it likely isn't talking to you, its but to another lizard that is a bit harder for you to see. Can you #FindThatLizard? Both of the western fence lizards?! Let me know with #FoundThatLizard. Reveal tonight at 9pm PT.

We need some inspiration. Join us to celebrate people fighting for our planet w/#30EarthMonthHeroes. The rules: 1ā£Tag a person who does great things to protect the environment 2ā£tag+thread another the next day 3ā£Repeat thru April. Explainer via @TaotaoTasi southernfriedscience.com/30-earth-monthā¦
And just for fun, here is our 2019 list: #30EarthMonthHeroes
1) One of our #30EarthMonthHeroes is our previous president @brooke2cents. Beyond the leadership she provided us, Brooke trains conservationists on how to design outreach plans that motivate action. Check out her work on sustainable fishing in Mongolia: brooketully.com/making-sustainā¦
Are you a parent trying to find activities for kids home from school? Or someone stuck at home looking for fun distractions? Here are some fun, free science and nature resources you can use at home. Iāll be adding to this list over time.
Youāyes, you!ācan do real science from home! Check out Zooniverse, a website for crowd-sourced citizen science projects. Listen to baby noises, transcribe Arctic plant collections, help locate black holes, and more! zooniverse.org
Check out @inaturalist! Go for a hike, and photograph plants, animals, and fungi and upload Geo-tagged photos. @seekbyinat helps with IDs. You can submit observations even if you donāt know what you found! Data are used for real biodiversity monitoring. inaturalist.org
In response to the whole āwomen get fewer followersā situation, hereās a thread of women I think everyone should be following.
#1 @hood_naturalist
Sheās funny as hell, loves birds, is a passionate science communicator &speaks against racism, pointing out the bullshit she sees.

2) @1NativeSoilNerd I just met Lydia yesterday after having followed her for a while on here. Sheās a gd inspiration. She studies how we can use plants to restore areas wrecked by mining. Sheās also an imp. voice in Native American rights. Iāve already learned so much from her.
3) @Afro_Herper Earyn is the shit. She is a herpetologist who is ALWAYS teaching me about lizards on here. Her pictures are super cool, and she started a super popular twitter game #FindThatLizard
Oh haiyyy, itās #CrowOrNo time my friends. That means you tell me if this bird is a crow (has the word crow in its common name) or no and at 5:30PST Iāll tell if you were right and offer some ID tips. Good luck and if you like the game give it a RT!
Alright folks, ready for this weekās answer? This bird is #NoCrow! As many of you guessed itās a common raven!
Although this weekās main clue was subtle, once you know it, itās a great subjective field mark to keep in your back pocket. Ready for it? Ok see these āhornsā? Thatās a raven thing. Crows donāt articulate their feathers like that.
Welcome to another round of #CrowOrNo! Normally I donāt tell you who the contestant is but today Iām just going to come right out with it...itās Bob. Hope that helps! Answer at 5:30 PST! šø@Jastrow75
Alright Bob, itās time to find out if youāre a #CrowOrNo! Ready??? Bob is a crow!!! A carrion crow to be precise, which are one of my favorite for this game. Why? Because theyāre damn tough!
I mean look at those throat feathers! If youāve been paying any attention to me you might suspect those be be hackles a la a common raven and I COULD NOT BLAME YOU
