Happy Friday. Each week feels like a month, so I have to pause once in a while to breathe and regroup. I appreciate all the nature and wildlife photos on this platform which restore my spirit. Please enjoy these lovely Blue Crowned Parakeets sailing off into the sunset. 🪶

The ABA is deeply concerned by recent staff reductions in U.S. federal agencies tasked with the stewardship of American’s lands, waters, and wildlife, including wild birds. These actions have real world implications for the wellbeing of wild birds, particularly those facing extinction bit.ly/3Xc4BCK

Yesterday I was at LA City Hall with 100s of striking fast food workers Then I drove 300 miles to Yosemite I didn't understand parking, but I got this out of my sunroof while driving! This is what Musk, at best, wants to privatize for profit, and at worst, wants to destroy We wont let them! 🧵

Good morning! My first bird of the day was an American Kestrel. I heard it screeching outside my window as it terrorized all the other birds on the block. Such fierce little things! 🪶

I love Lower Manhattan at night when it's quiet and the looming buildings make me feel tiny. #nyc

I feel we need some sweet things today, so here is a photo from a couple of seasons ago of our local female Red-Tailed Hawk (Amelia) feeding one of her chicks. The baby in the photo is about 8 weeks old. 🪶 #Raptors

If you could take less than three minutes to send in an easy action alert to your Congress person to save the Lesser Prairie-chicken. If you reply here that you sent one in, I will reply with a wild eastern #Colorado prairie bird or animal. act.abcbirds.org/a/take-actio...

Days like today need some chill ducks. Here are a male and female Scaup. The female is taking a breather from plucking mussels off the side of a jetty. 🪶

Here are a couple of scenes from a walk this morning in the Everglades. I encountered more alligators than humans, which was not a bad thing. 🐊 #Nature #Florida

Happy to see the heron sculpture at Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St Petersburg, FL, has been restored after being destroyed by hurricanes Helene and Milton 4 months ago.

This is probably my favorite Mallard photo (that I've taken). He just looks so dreamy. We could all use a soft field of dandelions right now. 🪶

I almost forgot #WoodcockWednesday - how could anyone ever forget this borbish shorebird? They show up every spring and fall here in NYC, right in the middle of Manhattan. The city is full of surprises. 🪶

For #TalonTuesday may I present the gorgeous Ferruginous Hawk, the largest of the North American hawks. I love its piercing pale greenish-yellow eyes. 🪶 #Raptors

Today's duck is the Surf Scoter. This female (brown) and male (black) were bobbing around in the water off Coney Island. I only get to see these guys in winter. 🪶

I feel I should be posting more bird pics, so let's start with some ducks. Winter is the best time to see them in my area and I was excited to find this pair of Black Scoters off Coney Island last week. I only ever get to see these guys in winter as they spend their summers in the Arctic. 🪶

At a time where it feels like we're losing, we need to remember our victories that not only have happened in the past, but continue to exist today. Thus I give you, California Condor 926 of the SoCal flock. Great grandchild of Condor # 1. We as humanity can still do good things. #birds

Happy Friday, everyone. It's been a loooong week. Be sure to take some time for yourself to relax and regroup. It's ok to practice some self-healing. We've got a tough journey ahead, but we will prevail. 💙

This was the wintery scene yesterday on Governors Island, NYC. A couple of inches of snow covered the ground and the air was crisp and clear - my favorite type of winter day. #winter

The hotel asked us if we wanted a quiet room or a view. We opted for quiet and this was our view. Welcome to NYC 😂 #nyc
