A male Centrocercus urophasianus (greater sage-grouse) at dawn trying to attract a female at a mating lek. They are known for filling giant air sacks in their chests and letting out a low thumping noise. They also strut around while doing the thumping call / display. It's kind of cute, in a strange way. They are extremely sensitive birds and you can't get very close without spooking them. This photo is cropped way in.

Talked to SFGATE about this year's super-early Joshua tree bloom, the lab's call for help tracking it on iNaturalist, and what it may mean for our favorite spiky desert plants
Joshua trees are flowering in the Calif. desert. That’s bad news.

Surprisingly green the desert is behind the Coachella Valley in the foothills above on the S side. Here w my sister to visit friends, got fantastic hike in on Cahuila Reservation trails. Steep rocky 10K from 250m up to 900m elev. then back. Plentiful rains Nov-early Jan, so lots of new green grass, a few wildflowers. Did not see any Bighorn Sheep but some scat, they must be quite content now. 23C at start, perfect. Hard to imagine being here in June 😜. #climate #hiking #california #desert

Trump tells a room full of leaders in Davos that the US stock market crashed because he is trying to take…
Iceland.
Time for another cognitive test, I guess.
@randahl
I'd suggest him to give just a piece of #desert in return ... that's called ... um ... #California 🏜️
That's not a big thing to ask. And the stock market ... you know ...
We don't - for now - not really know whether he'll be there to support #Nato .
Thank you for your attention in this matter!
Welp, I captured two shots of the tonight's big solar storm. The most intense part of the storm happened at my location before the sunset. The first shot below was shortly after sunset at Sand Mountain from a bit of a distance. It's an offroader's sand dune recreation area & it's $40 to go in. 🫤 And the second shot was at Harmon Reservoir a couple miles east of Fallon, Nevada. Nice to see some color this far south! 😍
