Currently working on my garden for this year!

Whenever the world feels overwhelming, I listen to The World is Awesome and remind myself of all the incredible things we’re fighting to protect and build. #discoveryChannel #boomdeyada youtu.be/at_f98qOGY0?...

🎶 I love the whole world, it’s such a pretty place… boom di yada, boom di yada 🎵 Just got back from a backpacking trip, soaking in nature’s beauty. Always inspired by “The World is Awesome” (Discovery Channel) to keep fighting for the world I want to see.

My favorite new thing is bringing a full on mug to cafes now-not a travel mug! In a world that moves fast this feels like a way to slow down. #lowWaste #reusable

Anna’s hummingbird in the house!! (Not literally)

We have some visitors to our feeding stations! #birdfeeder

Lifer! Spotted a Marsh Wren at Alviso Park! Took a bit to catch a view as it sifted through the grasses, but I got one! Fun watching the reeds rustle as this tiny bird chirped with its big voice. These wrens are expert nest weavers and craft intricate globular nests in the reeds! #birding #birds

One of my favorite weekend maintenance routines is recycling my CRV cans & bottles—small actions add up! I volunteer to sort & take recycling at work to reduce contamination, lower emissions, & ease the strain on our local sorting system. Proper sorting keeps more materials in circulation!

Sunset walk at Shoreline and spotted two white-tailed kites, here is one of them. #bird #birding #GreatBackyardBirdCount #whiteTailedKite

Today, Feb 15, is the second day of the #GreatBackyardBirdCount. Join the fun at birdcount.org see tips at https://buff.ly/40Q8fmJ

#birding Spent Valentine’s showing love to our local birds.

Lead a bird walk during lunch time for my coworkers for the #GreatBackyardBirdCount

Are you a scientist whose work is being affected by changes in the Trump administration? Get in touch with @nature.com reporters @maxkozlov.bsky.social @dangaristo.bsky.social @heidiledford.bsky.social Jeff Tollefson & yours truly. Let us know what's on your mind & what we should be writing about.

The cherry blossom tree by my work is experiencing gummosis! Rapid temperature swings from warm to freezing over the past few weeks caused microcracks in its bark, and it's sealing them with sap—evidence of climate stress on trees. #climatechange #trees

Wow—I got a curlew (super long break, left) and a whimbrel (right) in the same shot! I was out birding with friends, and we’d just been talking about how tricky it can be to tell them apart unless they’re side by side. Then, as if on cue, these two gave us the perfect pose! So cool!

Every year, the World Economic Forum at Davos reports on the consensus of risks facing the world. In the short-term, it's DISINFORMATION. Long-term, it's CLIMATE CHANGE. And, guess what, they're linked!

This was a rare occasion where I was able to get 4 different species of birds in one photo!

@ileanabeta.bsky.social Hey, Ileana! I’m putting together a critter bucket list of creatures to search for, see, and appreciate! Any recommendations for must-see species or natural phenomena?

Just got an email with the dates: February 14-17, 2025 #GBBC #GBBC2025

Hi! I’m working on a “must-see” critter list to track down over the next two years, and I’d love your input! Are there any fascinating animals or wildlife events you think I should keep an eye out for? I’m open to all suggestions—big or small!

I have so many shrimp!🦐

Hi! Blue sky! 🦋
