@cstross @lauren I'd like to learn more about the fruit fly. Can I vote for the fruit fly to run my country? I presume the manifesto is more fruit. I've looked at the other candidates and I'm really interested. #politics #zoology #AI #GenAI

The North Dakota Bestiary: If you see a flash of reddish-orange followed by a cheerful whistle and sound of a whip crack, you just barely bore witness to the fastest songbird on earth, the Peregrine Robin.

Also known as the Early Bird of Prey, it is the bane of every earthworm in North Dakota, as well as suburbanites with nice landscaping because of the craters they leave in yards from their Mach 1 dives.

An intelligent bird, they have learned not to use their normal hunting habits on sidewalk worms after a heavy rain. Their fledglings are hilariously awkward and surprisingly durable as they learn to fly. If you’ve ever heard a bullet ricochet off a rock, it might’ve actually been a fledgling.

Peregrine Robins are primarily vermivorous, but insects, small rodents and fast food are also hunted with aplomb and a high success rate.
