Recent Links (Including One by Me)

I don’t know if any of you have heard of the YouTube series MinuteEarth, but I wrote a script for them a while ago and the video was finally posted:

Longtime readers may find this subject familiar, as I’ve written not one but two blog posts on these same two butterflies in the past.

A few other recent links:

• I’ve seen two recent blog posts on the beautiful fall-blooming wildflower Fringed Gentian, one from Julie Zickefoose and one from Jim McCormac. Why did I never run into these when I lived back east?
• There’s a partial solar eclipse tomorrow (Thursday)!
• Cool but eerie – listen as the birds in a forest in California fall silent over a period of several years.

Any other cool nature- or wildlife-related links I should add? Share in the comments!
