This basically sums up my entire economic and sustainability philosophy.
The obsession with GDP helps evade questions of distribution while promoting infinite expansion on a finite planet. Only in the warped reality of our current growth obsessed economic model is expansion without end seen as a virtue. In biology, it's called a cancer.

Found an amazing family of Northern Saw-whet Owls this weekend in Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest! Here's 1 of 3 fledglings, photographed from the trail. #NorthernSawWhetOwl

@naturallywild__ Malheur NWR, Toronto Islands, Ponderosa Pine forests, and just about any solid hawkwatch.

Learned first-hand today that #Graycrownedrosyfinch use #Cliffswallow nests for winter roost sites! 🤯 Birds truly never get boring.

@AnEtchabear I was chased & treed by a female moose in B. Columbia. Though scary it was right out of a cartoon, & probably hilarious had anyone seen it 😂 2x around a tree, then I darted for another tree & climbed it a quickly as I could. Moose interrupted bird surveys more than 🐻 that year!

@ShannonSkalos Struggled w/ this in Toronto where only those selected for interviews were contacted; folks always leaned on the “busy HR line”. It’s so demoralizing & reduces transparency in hiring. Big fan of “all serious applicants get a response”; you’re basically doing part of HR’s job!
