Heads up East Coast! The birds are coming, the birds are coming! 🌘 Most birds migrate at night, using the setting sun, stars, and moon to help them navigate. Join us and #DimtheLights at night to help prevent #lightpollution and help these travelers navigate safely. 📷BirdCast

Wow, around 316 million #birds are predicted to migrate south this evening! #FallMigration is especially exciting as young, juvenile birds join the adult birds on their way South. Remember to #DimtheLights at night to help these nocturnal migrants on this impressive journey! 💡

Every year around this time, a compound tragedy befalls hayfields everywhere. Farmers cut the hay, eviscerating animals of threatened & declining species. This field near my house had nesting Bobolinks, Meadowlarks, Grasshopper Sparrows, and of course tons of ...

Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)
