[Yellowstone National Park @YellowstoneNPS]

We all need personal space at times.
Although great blue herons gather in large colonies during breeding season, they are largely territorial, as seen by this dispute between two herons (and one onlooker) roaming the shore for fish. Birds in Yellowstone: https://t.co/c9FwMWF2rS

Sometimes change happens overnight, like when Rodeo Lagoon breached the beach (photos of before/after). This happened 3 times this winter, more than in recent years.

Changes like this remind us of climate change. Learn more here: https://t.co/3tiRcFuYJr

Did you wear your green today? We did!
(We do every day, so that was easy!)
But we don’t just wear green... our parks are green too! The new edition of the Green Parks Plan sets forth the vision to attain net-zero status in parks. More ➡️ https://t.co/LOOcusemWZ

Check out the new @USFWS recovery plan for the Meltwater Lednian stonefly and Western Glacier stonefly -- species that rely upon cold glacial meltwater in @GlacierNPS and the surrounding region: https://t.co/gElJzv22j3

[US Fish and Wildlife @USFWSMtnPrairie]

Meltwater Lednian and Western Glacier stoneflies have an uncertain future due to the changes and disruptions to the supply of cold meltwater from glaciers and snowfields, both of which are critical to the survival of these little stoneflies.
