So I had one of those amazing birding encounters I get maybe 1-2 x / year. I went for a walk at #YoloBypass and got in my car and was driving out through some of the rice fields when I saw what was a pretty big bird in front of a bush. I couldn't tell what it was at first. 1/n Image
Then it turned around and, even with the incredible camouflage, I could tell it was an owl. At first I was not sure what kind. I kind of caught me off guard. 2/n ImageImage
And so I took a bunch of pics as it sort of hid there. It eventually went into the bush and I lost track of it. So I waited. I then noticed some other birds nearby. Cool. Horned larks. More on them later. 3/n Image

Reading: Scientists shouldn't rule out lab as source of coronavirus, new study says newsweek.com/scientists-sho… - personally I do not find the analysis in this new paper remotely convincing 1/n
Summary of paper: they infer many things about possible evolution of SARS-CoV-2 (the new virus) from genome analysis and from comparison to similar analyses done on SARS-CoV (the original SARS) see preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 2/n
They do some detailed analyses of genomic diversity, evolution, substitution patterns and more, some of which seems interesting, certainly. However, I am concerned with both some of the methods used and more importantly how they make inferences from the comparisons they did 3/n

This does not seem like a good plan: "Sacramento County Announces New Mitigation Efforts COVID-19" shar.es/aHbrut #COVID19 #Coronavirus - especially the plan to shift from containment to mitigation #Sacramento cc: @sacbee_news 1/n
It is one thing to say we need to do mitigation, but there is no doubt that containment & slowing progression is still important so ditching quarantine for contact at this point seems to misguided, especially due to the still limited testing #COVID19 #Coronavirus #Sacramento 2/n
Serious though - people dealing with #COVID19 #Coronavirus is there any justification for #Sacramento County to say they will be not doing any type of quarantine for people who have been exposed?

I have vowed this year to make sure I focus a little bit more on my mental health & one of the ways I am doing that is by trying to embrace / enjoy the natural world; to give me a little push in doing that I am trying to post daily observations to @inaturalist #DailyiNat 1/n
So far I have done this 1/1 - 1/20 - see my @inaturalist Calendar here inaturalist.org/calendar/phylo… but I did run into a challenge last week - I got summoned for jury duty and ended up being selected as an alternate juror - trial still ongoing #DailyiNat 2/n
Although this made getting out a bit complicated but I did pull it off - Monday was easy - told in AM we had day off & had to come back Tu so, since I had cleared out schedule & worked all day Saturday and Sunday I took off for a few hours inaturalist.org/calendar/phylo… #DailyiNat 3/n
