⏰ Last chance! Join our free webinar 'Bridging the Gaps: Preventing Extinction of the Most Endangered Birds' 📅 Tomorrow, Sept 17 | 4 PM ET Hear from @jerutter.bsky.social + ABC experts on bold initiatives across Latin America & the Caribbean RSVP to join live or get the recording: bit.ly/4mmKhbz

Don't forget to give it a little love to your backyard birds today! If you have the means, put out sugar water for hummingbirds, seeds for the others, and give them access to water. It makes a big difference, especially during mating season! More resources = more bird babies = more pollinators! 🐥

Change starts with you 🌏 Many are overwhelmed by the state of the world right now, but I'm here to tell you that daily actions that any of us can take, even just one, can make such a difference for our world. Are you already practicing zero-waste? We want to hear from you! 💚 #sustainability

🐟 Arctic river turns toxic Alaska’s remote Salmon River, once clear, is now orange and metal-laden due to permafrost thaw exposing sulfide minerals. Toxic levels threaten fish and salmon-dependent communities. 🔗 www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti... #SciComm #ClimateCrisis #Arctic 🧪

Migration season is wild, and the least we can do is not make it harder. Turn off extra lights at night, plant natives so they have food on the way to their final destination, and keep cats indoors so they’re not hunting our tired travelers. Share with your fellow #bird lovers! 🐦💚 #conservation

🌡️ Fossil fuel giants and deadly heatwaves A new study found that emissions from major oil companies directly caused dozens of extreme heatwaves worldwide, linking corporate pollution to deadly climate events. 🔗 www.theguardian.com/environment/... #SciComm 🧪 #ClimateCrisis #ClimateJustice

This is a big win for Hawai'i!! #birds #ecosystems #endangered #animals #policy

Simple ways to avoid using plastic: - Use a reusable bag - Don't wrap your produce in plastic bags at the grocery store - Use a reusable bottle for water that is BPA free instead of single-use bottles - Avoid plastic utensils, maybe take your own with you (bamboo is a great option!) #plastic

Composting for the win! Feathered friends also help! 😍

While acknowledging the challenges, the researchers developed a methodology to measure just how much various human-caused pressures are squeezing, shifting, and transforming coastal and marine habitats: www.nytimes.com/interactive/... (gift). Research report: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... 🌎

Maybe now climate deniers will have to face that climate change is happening once their personal spaces are invaded by ants? One can only hope 🤞🏻

By being large and fat, baleen whales can endure long periods with little or no prey 🌐🌏🧪🌱 We found that: 🐋 A southern right whale in average condition could survive up to 17 months without feeding. 🐋 But a severely entangled North Atlantic right whale may only last about 50 days. 🔗 to paper:

We need policies that mirror the migration patterns of the right whale, and that prevent their being hit by boats or caught in fishing line. If Canada can do this, why can't the US?

Sometimes yelling gets results (juvenile tern) #birds 🌿

A minute with one of my neighbours. She decided that the strange wheeled human wasn’t enough of a threat to keep her from enjoying her dinner. We hung out for probably five minutes or so before she let me continue my bike ride. 🌿🦊

A lot of our warblers have started the long journey south, so I was surprised by this Ovenbird in a tangle of willows this morning. #birds 🌿

Hey, if it self-identifies as "Normy", I think it's a-okay to call it that! 😂 If not, Red-breasted nuthatch should work!

That's what I'm talking about! If you're not already using the Merlin Bird ID app or iNaturalist, check them out! Tracking where the birds are helps scientists better track their migratory patterns and supports policy to protect them! #rewild2gether

Non-electric is the way!! 🙌🏻

Hey, everybody to their own! The most important thing is you get outside and enjoy yourself!

Thank you for sharing! Native plants are so crucial for providing our pollinators with food. Pollinators in turn help us have fruit and vegetables! The little things matter. 🙌🏻 #rewild2gether

☀️ The Double-crested Cormorant knows how to work the sunlight. This #BirdoftheWeek is one of North America’s best fishers. 🐟 Their feathers aren’t waterproof so you’ll spot them spreading their wings wide to dry off. (cue Creed’s "With Arms Wide Open"). Learn more: abcbirds.org/birds/double...

September silence or melodic May birdsong? I’ll take the latter. #birds #haiku #Vermont

I love how Chickadees will spit out a seed they don't want. Watch this one turn and spit it to the right. Then apparently drop the second one before finding the right one to take away. Birdcam #birds

Birds are attracted to lights, especially at night when migrating. Please turn off all unnecessary lights at night during their migrations. See their love migrations here to keep track of when you should turn off your lights: birdcast.info/migration-to... This simple act saves lives! 🐦♥️ #birds

What's one way you can reconnect with nature this month? Fresh out of ideas? - Take a walk without your phone: notice 5 things around you - Go on a picnic in a public park - Learn the name of one local bird and see how often you can spot it - Pick up some litter #nature #rewild2gether #share

I think we need to reframe the doom vs. optimism conversation to an action vs. inaction one. We obviously can’t ignore the issues, but if our messaging discourages action, then we’re not doing a very good job.
