Sneak peak at all of America tomorrow for “No Kings Day” 🍊🦅🇺🇸
The silence comes slowly. Fewer wings, fewer songs, fewer lives. Insects go first—under the weight of heat, poison, and hunger. We follow. The momentum of overshoot is increasing…and has no brakes.

This is one of the best ads I have ever seen and I can’t believe I missed it
I knew that's why I liked you. Now, what are your feeling on Master and Commander?
If we continue burning fossil fuels and warming the ocean, coral reefs will become a thing of the past.
never forget that we’re currently facing total economic destruction because fox news got upset about 0.0001% of our population wanting equal rights
Check out who took residence in my BEE plant! This is my first spring with my #CaliforniaNativePlants and I am already considering it a great success. The bee plant stalk may die back, but the whole point is to create a habitat, and I can confidently say I have done that!

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!
Pupy the African elephants is starting her fantastic new life at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil. A big thank you to everyone who made this happen!

#Easter is an important day for many and sharing a meal is a traditional part of this celebration. People like Betty who harvests carrots in CA’s Central Coast, make these sacred meals possible. #WeFeedYou
The lovely Pupy is enjoying her first day at the Sanctuary in Brazil. 💚💚💚

Buzz pollination - in brief.
#bumblebees rapidly contract their flight muscles. This produces powerful vibrations which they channel to the flower using their legs/mouths.
Result = #pollen explosion all over the bee.
Happy bee!

Take the bat pledge! It may look simple but these simple steps make a difference for a species group that is often misunderstood and maligned! See our Bat-friendly Communities Guidebook for ways to be a good bat friend! Little things make a difference.

Salvia sonomensis. Early blooming ground cover. Large patch of 18 inch flower stalks with purple salvia blooms.
Salvia brandegeei. Very large plant, early blooming and loved by bees including this male valley carpenter bee. White salvia flowers with large golden, fuzzy bee that has large greenish gold eyes.
Salvia carduacea. Midseason blooms. One of two annual Salvias. Thistle like foliage with two large pink/purple thistle like flowers.
Salvia pachyphyla. Late season blooms. Smaller shrub. Lots of papery purple and mauve flowers on 2 -3 foot shrub.
California has 21 Salvia species (plus many cultivars). Two are annuals the remaining 19 are perennial which can (and do) hybridize. They have different bloom times from early spring through fall. I keep my favorite, S pachyphyla, isolated for seed collection.

Grants from the US federal government make up about 1/3 of our annual budget—and that funding is now at risk. Now more than ever, Xerces is looking to you, our community, to help keep our essential conservation programs going.
From all the bugs out there, thank you! 💖🐝 xerces.org/give

We are excited to announce the launch of lightsoutdc.info ! 🌃
This is a collaborative campaign to promote awareness on light pollution's harm to migratory #birds & human wellbeing. We're launching just in time, with an est. 3 MILLION birds projected to fly through the DC area tmmrw night! (contd.)
A palate cleanser of a palate cleanser.
This is BLM not FWS, but it seems likely to be coming to our way.
Endangered species protections are being glossed over. “These lands serve as habitat for 23 federally endangered species..”
This is not good for anyone. This is not efficient.
Illegal crossings in these areas are at historic lows.
Pupy is on her way to Elephant Sanctuary Brazil. So exciting!

Yes - we don't need another Jonestown scenario.
Our first Lights Out Alert is tonight (4/14): An estimated 4.1 million birds will be migrating over Oregon skies! ✨
Every light turned off reduces the risk of window collisions and keeps their journey on track. Help them travel safely by turning off all unnecessary lights from 11 p.m. to dawn.
PSA - leash your dog when you’re out for a walk. I don’t care if your dog is old or gentle or whatever. Your dog being off leash makes other dogs (who are on leash) very defensive and go into attack mode. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
About 11 turtles rest on a log in the water. The turtles have yellowish spotted throats. Another turtle rests on another log in the background.

We need to focus more broadly than events in the White House. The entire GOP is working to give our Federal lands to private interests. Eliminating Federal land jobs will discourage public visitors. Extractive industries will do permanent damage. We must stop the privatization of our land.
