Two recs for you (both of which you may already be familiar with, however...): for the Indian vultures, episode 579 of the podcast 99 Percent Invisible is called "Towers of Silence" and is well worth listening to, and the book Eels by James Prosek is excellent, although recently overshadowed by another book on eels I have yet to read, by Patrik Svensson.
Beautiful photos and observations. Love your Field Notes! Quick question: is a bug an insect? And is an arthropod an insect? I say yes to the first and no to the second.

Thanks, Derryl! The Prosek book has been on my list, and I will check out the Svensson and “Towers of Silence.”
Your latest post inspires me to finally procure some mesquite bean flour and start working on some recipes, Christopher ✨
I have been wanting to try that, too! I look forward to your report 🦜

I agree! "Bug" to me is commonly used synonymous with insect.
