In the 10 years I’ve lived here, I’ve never seen an echidna until a few weeks ago and now I’ve seen three in three weeks!

a coyote comes visit (& possibly hunting a bunny) every night but last night he was limping 🙁😬we hope it‘s a minor issue & he‘ll be fine soon. Put some meat snacks out for him, instead of just fruit 🥹

Side view of a native Carolina mantis climbing the brick wall of a house. The mantis is mottled brown and gray and its folded wings resemble decayed leaves. The brick is red and scored with vertical lines, and the mantis is about as long as one brick is high. Behind it is the white trim around a doorway. The mantis’s head is turned toward the camera.

Came home from getting coffee this morning to find a native Carolina mantis (Stagmomantis carolina) beside my front door. Not sure I’ve ever seen one before - we always have the Chinese mantises.

I might cry.

The Society strongly opposes plans to consider the importation of #Bengalcats into Australia as pets. The risks posed to #nativewildlife are too high.

Mendocino County’s Burned Oak Savannas Attract Birds – KneeDeep Times A new study has found that birds are thriving in the nutrient rich oak savannas that burned in the 2018 Mendocino Complex Fire.

These grassy woodlands rarely experience the intense fires seen in dense Sierra Nevada forests shaped by fire suppression. Instead, the blazes invigorate the ecosystem, stimulating new plant growth and attracting #nativewildlife.

I've never seen a skunk mother with so many little kits before! It was so adorable, and I love how all the little babies have their own little variety of pattern! 🥰💕

A tiny northern black widow spider sits on a green violet leaf, with green and dried grass stems crossing in the background. She is round and shiny black, with three red patches in a row down her back outlined in yellow/white and a pair of slanted white lines on either side. Her legs appear striped black and a lighter gray-brown.

Accidentally disturbed this young lady, a northern black widow (Latrodectus variolus) according to Seek, while weeding this evening. She’s itty bitty (or itsy bitsy)! I think she’s too young to be married, let alone a widow.

I am apparently feeding another mouth in my habitat...

This Marmota monax, aka Woodchuck/Groundhog/Whistle Pig, has moved in recently and apparently approves of my kale. I guess I better start some more seeds... #nativewildlife #iwasgonnaeatthatbutyoudoyou

Beyond flood protection, living levees can also filter pollutants, sequester carbon, create wildlife habitat, and provide recreation areas for local communities. #carbonsequestration #nativewildlife

A native Virginia turtle working it's way through long grass, headed in the direction of ponds, after being helped across a road. Always in the direction they were headed!

First turtle of the year, helped across the road to the ponds.

Pretty certain it was a native Eastern Painted Turtle.
