Snow Geese have arrived in eastern Colorado. Many dead geese also found around the reservoir have succumbed to avian flu. We counted over 100k live birds. Found 100 minimum dead snow geese along beaches. Many more sick birds loitering along the shoreline.

As I lay me down to sleep I pray that Silksong will release. And if it should before I wake. Please clear my schedule for that day.

If you’re looking for print media that has interesting art, short stories, and interviews check out Infinite Worlds Magazine. This is the first issues I’ve ever read and I’m looking forward to the next one.

🪶 Today, more than 1/3 of the federal grant $$ we were relying on to finance our science & conservation work in 2025 is paused w/ no indication of when, or if, we will be able to access it again. Your tax-deductible donation helps us weather this period of uncertainty. birdpop.org/pages/do... 1/2
