One of the coolest things to remember is that because prey animals have eyes on the side of their head, they are looking at you when they're in profile, not facing you! Hot tip for artists and animal lovers!

+1 to eBird and Merlin (both made by the same folks at Cornell Labs), if you're a bird fan or want to be they're very intuitive and great about sharing cool stories about how the data is actually being used across the world

It's very endearing to me how many people are willing to keep an eye on a video feed so they can push a button and let a fish in the Netherlands get to the other side of a dam.
