Snow Petrel 14-10-2025 “Wild is not chaos. Wild is rhythm unmeasured.” In Kingfisherish Wandering [1] © Wix In a study published in Nature Climate Change , Shaw et al. [2] reveal that mountain glaciers, once partially insulated from global heating, are “recoupling” to the atmosphere—meaning they are beginning to warm in step with the surrounding air.

Horned Lark 14-10-2025 “Wild is not chaos. Wild is rhythm unmeasured.” In Kingfisherish Wandering [1] © Kristin Hoel In a study on Nature Climate Change , Wang et al.

Parasitic Jaeger 13-10-2025 As if recalling something, Zhuangzi says, “This morning I heard the birds in the Bird Village said that the last storm had swept away all the Flowerpeckers’ nests. They have no home now. Do you still want them to finish weaving your burrow’s rain-proof screen?” Hearing Zhuangzi, Kingfisher sighs and closes his eyes as if meditating.
