@rangemedia.co absolutely hate to be this guy, but that’s definitely a prairie dog, not our highly esteemed native Yellow-bellied Marmot!

Happy Groundhog Day! Shoutout to my undergraduate research colleagues from back in the day at Gonzaga (Charlie, Taylor, and Naked Marmot Man), who all studied Spokane’s unofficial mascot, the Yellow-bellied Marmot, for our senior capstone research!

For a brief timeline cleanse to break up your doomscrolling, enjoy this hilarious and adorable Sanderling I saw on the beach in Coronado last week.

2/3🧵 I was compelled to write this given my findings of the flaws and deceit in the entire process committed by DNR, and felt this info should be known publicly. By writing this, my hope is to hold DNR accountable so they fix these issues to better conserve public land for future generations.

A friend of mine sent me this video he captured earlier this week - It pays to be the token Steve Irwin of the friend group!
A bald eagle apparently got fed up with a group of gulls harassing it while fishing at Seattle’s Golden Gardens beach - and decided it wanted a piece one of them instead👀🦅

🧵That evidence is clear as shit, literally. I took these photos of an immense amount of elk scat at Thorpe Rd sunday - a very clear sign that this parcel is still utilized by migrating ungulates. I also saw coyote scat and a jaw bone of a young deer - more signs of rich biodiversity.

2. I’m also a passionate birder, river person, and I’m driven to this work to better protect our natural resources and wildlife species for future generations. I’ll be posting a lot about local conservation efforts, birds, fish, climate, history, and sharings of my newfound adventure as a fun uncle.

1/2 Hi! I’m a climate-smart agriculture advocate working for the environmental nonprofit @salmonsafe as the Farm Program Manager. As a wildlife biologist by trade, I find myself currently connecting folks at the intersection of working lands conservation and climate-friendly market developments.

Hey Bluesky!
Have you ever looked at a local street pigeon, and thought why do they exist? And why do you want to eat my onion rings?
Well if so, perhaps you might find my most recent long form bog, Dove Dynasty, of interest. Enjoy - bird is the word!🕊️
