linklog #001

The fallen leaves, small twigs, seeds, and other woody debris that accumulate on the ground are a natural part of our forests and make up what is called leaf litter. This layer of litter provides nesting material for birds and squirrels, hiding places for small woodland mice and salamanders, and protected spots for seeds to escape notice by hungry birds. It also enriches the soil and keeps it moist so new plant seedlings can grow.

– Life in the Leaf Litter

hello and welcome to my new little linklog. I'm calling it leaf litter because I like a metaphor that says it's all fine and good to leave a big mess on the ground. my plan is to collect interesting links throughout the week, then hit publish without fussing too much with organization and annotation. just a big pile of links for you (and future me) to make into shelter or nutrients or some other thing not covered by this silly metaphor.

the current theme (icon/background/palette) are from Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom , via The Public Domain Review .

all of my birder friends are on eBird , a site where you can create checklists to keep track of all of the birds you've seen. lately I've been seeking out alternatives to the checklist system: handcrafted logs where each avian encounter feels more personal.

i’m no professional birder but i do like to stop and watch the birds i come across every day. usually on my walk to the train station and such. you may read a little bit about my experiences with each flying guy, if you wish.
