Baby Moon might only be days old, but she's already got scratching down-pat.

In case you missed the news: Earlier this week, ex-orphan Melia returned home to introduce us to her brand new baby girl. We rescued Melia 17 years ago, a likely orphan of poaching. Today, she is grown up and raising her family like any other wild elephant mum in Tsavo. It means the world that she chose to come back and share this milestone with us.

A gentle giant cruising right by the shoreline. 🌊 It’s hard to comprehend the pure scale of a blue whale until you see it juxtaposed against the rocks like this. Nature at its most majestic.

In America today, we rank 34th out of 35 countries in childhood poverty and millions of children are food insecure.

Maybe, just maybe, my Republican colleagues would consider holding a single hearing about how we improve the lives of American kids.

I like how some of the spots on the Spotted Sandpiper look like hearts. 🖤

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

A male Wood Duck stretches his wings. The blue on the wing feathers is so pretty.

In the wild, grooming is an important bonding ritual among zebras. Little Notty lost her natal family – but the instinct remains. Here, she directs it towards her best friend: Tytan, an orphaned black rhino.

So many of these around the Swamp the last few weeks. I was hoping one would land on a cattail…and it happened. I was ready. Prairie Warbler.

Least Sandpipers are the world's smallest shorebirds, around the size of a sparrow and weighting about the same as a slice of bread. I've been spotting a few around the shorelines of the local parks as of late.
