I admit I am powerless over documenting Bushtit babies but my life has not yet become unmanageable. I may need a sponsor. @LauraPaskus, are you willing?

Here's a shorebird you can see (& hear!) without going to the beach! 🌊Killdeer are plovers that have adapted relatively well to human built environments & can be found along pastures & fields throughout much of the U.S. & Canada. Killdeer chick & eggs🥚

This SHAMEFUL decision upends more than a hundred years of legal precedent at the expense of Tribal water rights and the Trust Responsibility.

As someone who has spent my career working on water issues, here’s why this decision matters (Thread)

[High Country News @highcountrynews]

The decision earlier this month strips federal protections from the ephemeral streams that are crucial for life in the arid West. https://t.co/sZNdzWXU64

#BernCo Animal Care Services is hosting a foster open house this Saturday from 10 am - 4 pm to recruit and increase its animal foster base. At this event, you will be able to register as a foster volunteer and/or take one of our dogs for a “doggy day out.”

I couldn't find much, there isn't much science, it seems, but I wrote this last evening, based mainly I info from @corvidresearch https://t.co/2BH5uSBp7z

[BirdWatch Ireland @BirdWatchIE]

A reminder if you're visiting the beach this summer that birds such as Ringed Plover, Oystercatcher, Little Terns nest on beaches all around our coast. Their eggs and chicks are *extremely* vulnerable to people, dogs, horses etc etc.

Be wildlife-aware and give them a chance!

[Laurel Ladwig @pbgrebe]

@ria_mukerji That is absolutely a sign of an incipient breakthrough. 😀

[Laurel Ladwig @pbgrebe]

ABQ is only 155 observations behind Austin! Maybe the infographics made by your class are doing the trick! @DisasterYolanda @UNM_GES @ABQcitynature

[Laurel Ladwig @pbgrebe]

@ABQcitynature My observations for the day finished uploading after midnight! 😂

[Secretary Deb Haaland @SecDebHaaland]

It’s no secret that our world is facing an existential crisis brought on by climate change. But what many may not know is that embracing the knowledge that Indigenous people have developed over millennia is a key to unlocking a multitude of solutions. https://t.co/zWKK9O42Fh

#CityNatureChallengeABQ took 9th place in species found for cities in its size range in #CityNatureChallenge 2022. Let's beat it this year!

A student in GEOG 2115 in the @UNM_GES dept. at @UNM made this in GEOG 2115.
