Happy Endangered Species Day! Around the world, thousands of species are at risk of extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, and human impact. Every species plays a role in a healthy ecosystem, and protecting them helps protect the planet we all share.

Cedar Waxwings shown performing a mating ritual. The male will often start with a “side-hop” toward the female, offering a small gift such as a berry, insect, or flower petal. This exchange showcases the male’s ability to provide. So adorable!!! #birdcpp @BirdCentralPark

As bears begin searching for food after months of winter inactivity, human-bear encounters tend to increase. Many of these encounters can be prevented by taking a few simple precautions:

• Give bears plenty of space and never approach them.
• Store food, garbage, pet food, grills, and other attractants securely.
• Keep campsites and outdoor areas clean.
• Make noise while hiking to avoid surprising a bear.
• Carry bear spray and know how to use it properly.

Seeing a bear can be unforgettable, but your safety depends on your actions. Bears are wild animals, and public lands are their home.

Recent incidents are a serious reminder to stay alert, give bears space, store food properly, and know what to do before entering bear country.

I usually have to look up to find a Northern Parula, risking "Warbler's Neck," but spotted this one near ground where he was foraging on insects. I think that intense look was for food, not me. #birds #nature #wildlife

A male Baltimore Oriole is nicely framed while perched among the white blooms of an American plum tree. This bird is a particularly vivid individual; exceptionally rich orange, and deep black feathers.

🪺 Not all moms look the same — and in the bird world, neither does how female birds care for their young.

This Mother’s Day, let's celebrate the moms, the helpers, and all the ones who made a difference in our lives that we carry with us.

Each spring, the Cahaba River comes alive with one of the Southeast’s most remarkable blooms. The Cahaba lily thrives in swift, sunlit water, anchoring itself to rocks as it blooms in bright white clusters across the river.

Migratory birds connect not only ecosystems, but also people and nations.

Saturday’s #WorldMigratoryBirdDay highlights the urgent need for #ClimateAction to protect them from threats like habitat loss, plastic pollution, and the climate crisis. https://t.co/UjrhBUzHpa
