Tomorrow I will complete another chapter in my public service career. It has truly been an honor and privilege to work with the dedicated men and women of the @USFWS and @NatlParkService. Thank you for your service.

[USFWS News @USFWSNews]

Thank you for the outpouring of concern about the welfare of a threatened West Indian manatee recently harassed in Florida. @USFWS is working closely with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to investigate this incident.

Nothing like some color to brighten a winter day. Thanks @COcanalNPS for this colorful interlude.

[US Department of the Interior @Interior]

An unexpected visitor @COcanalNPS brings beauty and intrigue. Male painted buntings are perhaps the most spectacularly colored of all North American songbirds, with their bold combination of red, blue, green and yellow feathers.

Today I was privleged to personally meet with and thank the brave men and women from @USParkPolice, including their colleagues from the @USPPNYFO who are helping to safeguard our Nation's Capitol and our @NatlParkService iconic monuments.

[Secretary David Bernhardt @SecBernhardt]

Our brave men and women in the U.S. Park Police responded with dispatch to assist the U.S. Capitol Police, while also continuing to protect our national parks, memorials and monuments. Thank you law enforcement for your service and unwavering commitment to securing peace.

[Secretary David Bernhardt @SecBernhardt]

Everyday @realDonaldTrump fights for the American people. The omnibus spending and COVID relief package uplifts American families, strengthens our economy, invests in our infrastructure and enhances key conservation initiatives. https://t.co/niZrc8WJKJ

[Critters&ParksRob @RobWallace_FWP]

Happy holidays to all! 🌲Did you have a #WhiteChristmas? Share your snow photos. @GrandTetonNPS is one of my favorite places for winter views. #FindYourPark

[Critters&ParksRob @RobWallace_FWP]

It is that time of year when you too can contribute to conservation by joining the #ChristmasBirdCount.

[U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service @USFWS]

Even during winter, you can find rainbows. If you're participating in the Christmas bird count, we challenge you to find every color of the rainbow during your birdwatching adventure!

Learn more about the Christmas bird count and how you can participate: https://t.co/1MJRFOGT0v

Is it too late to ask #SantaClaus for a coat like that in my stocking? #warm #furry

[US Department of the Interior @Interior]

"I'm fine. This is fine. Everything's fine."

But seriously, it's fine. In winter, #bison develop dual-layer coats so effective at insulating that when snow accumulates, it will not melt from the heat of the bison's skin. @YellowstoneNPS #Montana #PeaceInParks

[Critters&ParksRob @RobWallace_FWP]

Happy #ForeFathersDay. No better place to celebrate our history than @NatlParkService.

[Critters&ParksRob @RobWallace_FWP]

I am always a glass is half, or maybe 3/4, full kind of guy so I like this concept of thinking about the positive of 2020, which in my mind was a lot #FindingPeace @NatlParkService and @USFWSRefuges. Share yours.

[Joshua Tree NPS @JoshuaTreeNPS]

2020 has been a tough year, so we are taking a time-out to enjoy peaceful moments at national parks!
We like to look at the bright side, so we invite you to think: what is one peaceful moment you owe to 2020, one you might not have experienced in a different year? #FindingPeace

Dawn arrives at #Kīlauea's summit, where scientists are monitoring the new eruption within Kīlauea caldera. Since Dec 20 (~9:30 pm), 3 fissure vents on the wall #Halemaʻumaʻu crater have fed lava into a growing lava lake. #Kilauea2020

Today is not only #WinterSolstice but #Maine Day. Maine is the home to 10 @USFWSRefuges, a Waterfowl Production Area and 6 @NatlParkService areas. Come enjoy our winter playgrounds.
