Spring will come soon enough. Now is a great time to start preparing for rescue missions! 🧵
Pictures of various animals my fiance and I have saved from various circumstances. A young crow, an American bullfrog, a young tufted titmouse, a gosling, and an eastern boxturtle.

With spring arriving, it's tempting to begin working on our yards and gardens. But hold on! Clearing debris & trimming plants too soon can actually harm bees, butterflies, & other pollinators! 🐝
We have a guide to help determine when the time is right for yardwork ➡️ xerces.org/blog/dont-sp...

I was going for a walk when this little one popped out right in front of my feet, quite a surprise for both of us!

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes?! 🤯

Hi, I'm a nest researcher 👋 and new here on BlueSky, sharing the craziest #bird nests I've ever found. 👀 Today, I’m sharing my discovery of rebellious birds that build nests out of anti-bird spikes. And honestly, it's like telling a joke...

A thread. 🧵

A nice little example of the toots of the Northern Pygmy-Owl from my encounter the other day.

Has been my favorite quote for over a decade, I believe it may always remain so.
Picture of Desmond Tutu next to a quote of his "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." -Desmund Tutu

Trump signed executive orders to expand logging on public lands while bypassing environmental protections. His “energy emergency” declaration lets him override regulations entirely.

Here is a fine selection of colorful warblers for #WorldWildlifeDay. These beautiful birds are all insectivores so if you're a bird fan, you need to help conserve bugs too. Plant native plants and don't use pesticides.

American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, Black & White Warbler, Northern Parula
A black bird with orange wing pits. He is perched in a patch of sun. A brown bird with a black mask and yellow throat. He is clinging to a thorn bush and singing. A small bird with black and white referee striping. He is perched on a dead branch and looking up. A blue bird with a yellow patch on the back, white wing bars, yellow chest, and white belly. He is clinging to a branch and leaning forward to catch a small insect.

How he do this???
Small green bird perched upside-down in a way that seems to defy physics??? Above kitchen cabinets because he is a menace.

I can't believe I'm finally at a place in life where I just went out in public with literally 0 makeup on today and that didn't make me panic at all ♡♡♡

The more we learn about what’s around us the more we can support our community of people, plants, and animals. Ask questions like when we were kids! Make connections with folks also looking at birds in trees! We need more of all of that.
Photo of tiny pinecone and caption: all of this can also bring community! The more we know what’s happening in our backyard, the more we can do to help. Photo of evergreen violet and caption: it isn’t always easy to know what to do to help. But we can change how we see the birds, the sky, the plant growing in the sidewalk. We can see the magic and show it kindness in return.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

A white-breasted nuthatch perched on a bare branch that crosses the frame on a steep diagonal. The bird is facing forward giving it a perfectly round silhouette. Duplicate of previous image with a yellow tennis ball image superimposed on the bird. It is a perfect fit.

anyways if you’re just as ashamed, embarrassed, and enraged as I was about literally that whole interaction, consider donating to Ukraine Crisis Relief.
