Snowy Owl at rest in the dunes overlooking Seabrook, NH. I’ve been pining to see one this year, but no luck yet. When it comes to bird sightings, I live in hope. For the rest, every day’s a crapshoot…. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography #bird #wildlifephotography #owls

Is this real? Please tell me this is real

open.substack.com/pub/yourloca... I am thankful for those who continue to struggle to present the truth about science and medicine in this shite-show of misinformation.

Looking for an easy way to help folks missing SNAP benefits directly? This looks like a good start! A donation to GiveDirectly.org will help vulnerable families directly through an app called Propel which they are already using.

We need fighters; not folders. Bye Senator Shaheen. You are retiring. Good riddance. Senator Hassan, we’re stuck with your bad judgment until January 2029. Sigh. Neither of you understood the assignment: hold the line and don’t be Lucy with the damn football.

Thank you to everybody who voted yesterday. (We had no election in our town.) You made us proud and gave us hope that we will find our way out of this nightmare. Take a beat and tomorrow, let’s get back to the fight! 🇺🇸💕

Some photos from my local No Kings rally at the border of NH and VT today. It was really good to feel part of this awesome community. Thanks to the organizers for all their hard work! #NoKings ❌👑

We went leaf-peeping so far north in Vermont, my magenta phone provider welcomed me to Canada! 🍁 🇨🇦 This was shot before 7 am at the south shore of Lake Willoughby, Vermont. It’s just starting to be fall-ish in the Northeast Kingdom. #naturePhotography

The local Ruby-throated hummingbirds departed for warmer climates in the last few days. Enjoy! #bird #birdphotography #naturePhotography #Hummingbird #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

Hey RFK, Jr, Bite me! No thanks to you I’m very thankfully nursing a sore arm from my Mnexspike 2025-2026 (COVID-19) and Fluzone HD PF 2025-2026 (flu) vaccinations. It’s a small price to pay. Why can’t you see that? Oh, it’s science… Do us all a favor and resign now?

Haiti, in September 2011, about 18 months after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake damaged Port Au Prince and the surrounding countryside. Seeing this photo in my files was a reminder to look for a sliver of joy every day as we wade in the muck.

Can you please advise when the hive mind responds? Thanks!

Just a lovely American Robin enjoying a sunny perch. Proof that there are still some good things left in these insane, upside down times. #bird #nature #birdphotography #wildlife #birds #naturephotography

Eeew! Ick - need a shower after seeing this. And some updates on my vaccinations… 🤮🤢

All I can handle today. I want to live in this world.

Some days this is all I can handle… These are Showy Lady Slippers, a wild orchid, thriving in a Fen (misnamed as a Bog) in Vermont. Deep breaths. #bloomscrolling #flowers #orchids #blooms #orchid #nature

The EU’s next budget could help save nature - or speed up its collapse. If we underfund ecosystems, we undercut our food, water, health, and homes. Nature isn’t extra. It’s essential. Investing in nature = investing in us all. Read our new op-ed: www.birdlife.org/news/2025/06... #EUbudget #MFF
