There are few sites more calming then watching pelicans soar just above ocean waves. I’ve never seen a procession of pelicans like this, probably haven’t spent enough of my life near the coasts. Thanks for sharing.

The Bhutanese community in central PA makes Pennsylvania great. They are my neighbors. My friends. They love America. They love that they can build community and reunite their families here after decades of persecution.

Some nature needs a microscope to appreciate. Check out this majestic #Tardigrade #waterbear found in a sample of soaked moss in a restored floodplain. You can see his 8 claws and round mouthparts. Also present are nematodes and a very fast ameba(?) makes an appearance.
