One of the rarest birds in North America is back at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge!

These "snowbirds" have traveled to Texas to spend the winter and escape the cold. Once on the brink of extinction, this success story is a symbol of American conservation work and policies.

There are many reasons to look forward to the changing seasons, and for many people the arrival of some of our most beloved birds is part of the seasonal anticipation each spring and fall. Here's what's on the move >>> https://t.co/CcMuDnELTv #birdtwitter #reconnectwithnature

[Waterbird Society @WaterbirdSociet]

Ready for an awesome day of events? #WBS21 virtual meeting is starting off at 8am (EST) with a virtual field trip to Ntsikeni Nature Reserve, Belfast Wetlands, and community waterbird conservation in South Africa!

[Waterbird Society @WaterbirdSociet]

The @WaterbirdSociet Virtual Raffle opens THIS Monday and raises funds to send Students, Early Career Researchers, and Scientists from countries outside of North America to our next meeting. Their research furthers the conservation of waterbirds worldwide. https://t.co/bPJGwRxHdS

Did you know sandhill cranes are named for the Sandhills region of Nebraska, formed decades ago by blowing sand? The sandy hills are now covered with grass and other vegetation. (Photo courtesy of Charles Savare)

[The Wildlife Society @wildlifesociety]

Whooping cranes have returned to much higher numbers over the last couple decades, but their flock sizes are also increasing. Is the species changing its behavior to succeed in a changing environment? https://t.co/imeGyNrGHw #whoopingcranes #conservation

[Ducks Unlimited Sask @DUCSask]

World Wetlands Day is Feb 2! Do you know the story of the whooping crane? They weren't always so elusive. Their presence is vital, as is every species on Earth. The math is simple: conserving and restoring wetlands enhances biodiversity. Read more: https://t.co/lHVGjRRAEZ

[National Parks Conservation Association @NPCA]

BREAKING: Trump admin's rewrite of the #WOTUS rule would remove a large portion of U.S. streams & wetlands from protection. Think water quality problems, lower resiliency to adapt to climate, diminished flood control, loss of wildlife habitat in parks...
