DYK that wild turkeys have a fleshy appendage that drapes over their nose, and it's called a snood? It can change color based on their mood. A snood mood.

From our family to yours – we wish everyone a day filled with gratitude, relaxation, snoods & nature.

🌿 Happy #WetlandsWednesday!

#DYK that wetlands are among the world’s most productive environments? They are cradles of biological diversity, providing the water and primary productivity upon which countless species of plants and animals depend for survival.

@MarkIsNoHero Doing well here man 😎 thanks!

[R. B. Keast @rbkeast]

@briebriejoy @DentistryHeart @briebriejoy I really enjoy your podcast! And also I love your talks with Robby on The Hill: Rising. Even though your arguments can sometimes be tense, it is so refreshing to see discussion on serious issues like what is happening now. I hope you and Robby never leave that show!

@MarkIsNoHero Hope you’re doing well my friend 🙏

Bats are nature’s little farmers. They play a crucial role in pollinating many of our favorite fruits like mangoes, bananas, and avocados. Celebrate these amazing night-time pollinators this #BatWeek!

This is a VERY BAD IDEA 😡 #lightpollution during peak #birdmigration, which BTW is happening right now, poses a hazard for the millions of birds traveling over NYC on their migrations. COULD WE MOVE THIS to after fall migration? @nycgov @NYCParks @NYCMayor @NYCMayorsOffice?

[Audubon Society @audubonsociety]

Pledge to stand with us as we call on building owners, managers, and homeowners to turn off excess lighting during migration season to prevent needless bird deaths and ensure that birds have a safe and #BirdFriendly passage: https://t.co/faEe0D3YJH

It's the Clean Water Act, not the Clean Large Rivers Act, says AFS member @DrEcoMaz. Restoration does not equal conservation. #WOTUS

Additional context on the the gravity of this decision to weaken protection for #water & #wetlands: The US has already lost devastating amounts of historic wetlands. Many midwestern states have lost >80%. #SC has experienced a decline in wetland area by 27% and #NC by 49%.

[Mažeika Patricio Sulliván @DrEcoMaz]

Sad day for water protection across the USA. #Science does NOT support this ruling: Supreme Court limits federal power over #wetlands, boosts property rights over clean water (from @AP). ⁦@BenthosNews⁩ ⁦@ClemsonBaruch⁩ ⁦⁦@CASSocieties⁩ https://t.co/M08Ckt7hWC

@mrsundaymovies Sorry to hear that, regular-sized James. Knowing that you’re sick makes me feel sad, you might even say blue. I hope you can harvest some vegetables from your garden and boost your immune system. That leads the working title of this comment to be “Blue Harvest”. Feel better soon!
