An excellent partnership between the US and Canada to have them reintroduced in the 80s.

In Ottawa March is 31 long days of unpredictability that toys with your spring emotions.
It's a long way to May tulips...

I saw some juncos yesterday, so if those lil birbs are still here then yeah, probably a few more weeks til turkey vultures.
The wild turkeys seem to fare alright over winter. Seems their numbers are on the rise? I don't remember seeing as many of them around even ten years ago?

Black bird with white wing markings high about desert cliffs

Black bird with white wing markings high about desert cliffs

It took 800 miles of driving over two days, but we finally found California condors in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument this afternoon. They were about five miles off, soaring high above the cliffs, so I don't have photographs beyond proof-of-sighting, but I'm still high on the sighting.

Telling powerful human stories about the benefits of renewable energy matters. But nowhere near as much as $4 billion matters.

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.
