Got to meet and learn from Aimee Nezhukumatathil yesterday and I will be thinking about the things she taught us for a long time! Also super excited for the summer homework she assigned 🤩 ✍️ Thank you, Aimee, for your brilliance and wonder and generosity!

Thanks Aimee Nezhukumatathil for describing the South Philippine dwarf kingfisher

'From beak to tail, the bird is just over four inches, or slightly bigger than a crayon. And you’d need a whole box of them to describe it... .'
