@Team_eBird let me send friend requests and have a friends feed I’m begging

[Rep. Darren Soto @RepDarrenSoto]

The scrub jay is a valuable part of our local ecosystem and a star among bird watchers.

We welcome newcomers in Central Florida but we soundly reject their attempts to change our way of life for the worse here.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

This is the cutest, spikiest, tiniest crab in the world! (Don't quote us on that—it's called hyperbole.)

It was found during an operation in the Gulf of Mexico, which collected samples of mesophotic and deep-sea coral species for lab rearing and propagation.

Apologies to DC winter, I’ve clearly underestimated how fun you can be

[Yurok Tribe @TheYurokTribe]

Hundreds of salmon are now spawning in Klamath River tributaries above the 4 recently dismantled dams for the first time 60 & 112 years. It is exciting and bodes well for the future. Still, it will take several years for fish runs to recover & there is still much more work to do.

[GYBN UK @GYBN_UK]

Today we held an event at the Academic & Research Hub on the role of youth leadership in ensuring policy is evidence-informed. Thank you to @csandbrook & Prof Garcia Ferrari, for joining our members @ElouiseMayall and @harshsebs, & @zethdafer for his excellent chairing!

YOINK!

It's currently breeding season at the National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center and BFFs are pairing up. The science being done at the center to help preserve the black-footed ferret species, is incredible.

[Nature is Amazing ☘️ @AMAZlNGNATURE]

Let me introduce you to the Melanistic Kodkod or Guiña. Native to central and southern Chile. Smallest wild cat in the Americas, weighing in at 5 lbs on average 😭🐈‍⬛🖤

Tomorrow is National Prairie Day so it's a good time to remind everyone that Illinois calls itself "The Prairie State."

But a more honest name would be "The No More Prairie State."
