The potential deletion of 100 years of bird banding, breeding bird survey, and various other survey data would cripple bird conservation efforts not only in the US, but in the entire hemisphere.
A smoke bank in northeastern Minnesota. Two large fires nearby, and the weather is hot, dry and windy
Get out there Chicago!
Stunning aurora storm last night.

A white timber wolf briefly opens its eyes while napping next to another white timber wolf on a raised bed of timber wood and rocks with straw in the middle.
Oh to lie in the sun with a large pile of fellow wolves.
Let’s take a quick bird break and welcome some recent arrivals back to the team after a long journey. #birds

Another wild Friday night in the Superior National Forest. Our public lands are an invaluable resource just as they are.

Real Ziggy Stardust vibes with this bird.
Who needs to save daylight when you have this?
Finally saw a moose at the campground. 😭😭
What was that quote? Fill the sky with the light of a billion stars…..

PS I love the jays too but sometimes they act like they own the place, you know?
Special shout out today to these three, who chose not to go south last fall, and who have somehow made it through multiple -20 to -30 days and nights. They’ve even chased the blue jays away from my feeders. Love every time I see them.

Three trumpeter swans are floating in a crystal clear lake in a dense boreal forest. The sky is blue with wisps of clouds.
I’m so fortunate to live right next to the Superior National Forest. Our public lands are such a critical resource.
I know it's small in the whole scheme of things, but the bloodbath at NPS in Hawaii is almost certainly going to lead directly to the extinctions of no fewer than 4 native Hawaiian songbirds in the next 4-5 years.
