A Piping Plover stands on a beach with a young chick snuggled beside it. If you look closely you can see another pair of legs - it is a secon chick either behind or underneath the parent.
An itty bitty Piping Plover takes a b.i.g leg stretch while standing amongst beach debis, mostly twigs, that are bigger than it.

Two different houses in California. One with grass lawn, the other with native plants and teaming with wildlife.
🐝 Both homes are beautiful—but if you had to choose, which one would you call home: the one with a lush native garden teeming with life, or the one with a tidy grass lawn offering little more than scenery?

From @birdscanada.bsky.social social media: #Ontario has announced plans to eliminate its Endangered Species Act. This is a significant step backwards for bird conservation.

✨ A winter feast! A flock of Cedar Waxwings visits Cardinal Valley, feasting on berries that fuel their journey. These nomadic beauties rely on healthy habitats to find food through the seasons. Restoring native plants means more wildlife thriving. #CedarWaxwing #HabitatMatters #CardinalValley
🩵🧡 A comeback story! A pair of Eastern Bluebirds feast on sumac at Cardinal Valley. 2021’s deep freeze devastated their numbers, but native food like sumac helps them bounce back. Healthy ecosystems provide food, shelter & resilience for wildlife. #EasternBluebird #HabitatMatters #CardinalValley
