I am glad the sandhill cranes are coming back to stop in the Indiana Dunes after wetlands restoration efforts.
I always like visiting Beverly Shores and driving on E. State Park Boundary Road to the lake, then on Beverly Drive back out to Michigan City, where the landscape turns from forest to […]

This is a scenic shot of a mountain range with a wet meadow in the foreground. The land, once part of a farm, was sold to New York State in 1966. At one time, the landscape included a photogenic red barn, much loved by photographers because of its rustic charm and location in the foreground of the vista. In December 2016, the aging barn was removed by New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation, because it was seen as a safety hazard. The small parking area by the road was paved and a wooden viewing platform was added. This site attracts Red-winged Blackbirds on the meadow and Indigo Buntings on the edges of the open area.
Wet meadow at Cemetery Road Wetlands. In the next month or so, this meadow will resound to the songs of Red-wing Blackbirds. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...

'Water is not a story because stories finish. Water is like time, there is no end, not really, and no beginning, only a constant flow, a continuous cycle.'

Painted stork (Mycteria leucocephala) in breeding colour.
Painted stork (Mycteria leucocephala) feed on small fish, some frogs and occasional snakes, while sweeping their submerged bill from side to side in shallow water. Satpura national park in Madhya Pradesh on January 28. #India #birds #wetlands #photography #nationalpark
Some yellow flowers are blooming on the edge of a stream. The plant is called Swamp Candles. This is a native perennial plant with spikes of yellow flowers that appear in July and August. It is found in wetland habitats, such as marshes and bogs. I photographed these plants on a boardwalk through a wetland at the Paul Smiths VIC, a nature preserve in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.
For #ColorADay #YellowThu, I offer these #SwampCandles growing on the edge of a stream in the #AdirondakMountains. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-w...

Colored pencil drawing of a firefly, a monarch on milkweed, a salamander, and a violet with information that reads: The acidity of the water means not many amphibians like them, with a few exceptions such as the leopard frog, spotted salamander, and wood frogs. A few turtles and snake species can be found as well. These wetlands are full of insects though, and they thrive. This is good news for breeding birds, even seed eating species need insects for protein to feed to their young. Wetlands benefit humans as well. They can prevent flooding inland, provide a reservoir that filters water into local aquifers for our well and city water, cleaning it of pollutants for our consumption, and clean the water coming from the land of silt, pollutants, and debris that can damage river and ocean ecosystems. Unfortunately, wetlands are on the decline. Some are drained for agricultural use and commercial property, and many companies want to get their hands on peat and don’t worry about how long it took the wetland above the peat to form, or what a valuable resource the wetlands themselves are. With urban sprawl pushing wildlife into these areas already, the shrinking habitat means fierce competition for food and breeding space. Native species are getting crowded out. Many wetland species are at risk, including several species of carnivorous plants.
Zine day! More wetland babies :). Next week we take a break and I show you what I've learned in about my new baby snake, and some stuff about worms, and maybe grubs and slugs.

Check out our new paper in WRR: in the Prairie Pothole Region, millions of wetlands fill, spill, and connect, making runoff hard to predict. We show how physics + AI can improve prediction of streamflow and wetland storage in ungauged watersheds. #Wetlands #NewPaper #AGUPubs #PhysicsInformedML

A new @nrdc.org study shows the extreme and far-reaching impacts of the Sackett Ruling on Federal Wetland Protections, leaving at least 60% of wetlands unprotected. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WetlandWednesday #Wetlands #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalProtections
Wetlands filter water naturally—removing pollutants through plants & microbes, no chemicals needed. We bulldoze them for development, then build expensive treatment plants. Humility means restoring what works. #Ecology #Wetlands
