A row of seabirds stitches the sky, black thread over blue. Below, the sea keeps breathing in slow swallows of salt. They fly like a message I can’t unsend, clean, reckless, together. If you came now, I’d open like wind and let your name migrate through me. #photography #poetry #naples #florida

Brutal.

Last week on the trail, I found one of my favorite quiet miracles. These are Pipevine flowers — easy to miss, blooming before the leaves arrive, long before most things wake up. They’re part of a remarkable relationship that eventually gives rise to the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.

Hey WH MORONS, it's called CLIMATE CHANGE for a reason. FFS

The fact of the matter is: a severe #IceStorm is developing across much of the country at this very moment, with potentially devastating and far-reaching consequences extending far beyond the region of maximum #ice concentration. Watch out for the #ice, and help your neighbors weather the storm.

You'd never guess this innocent looking tiny ball of fluff can take down prey twice it's size... until you look it in the eyes. #birds #canada #nature #wildlife #photography #birding #nikon #owl #mcoupephotography #pygmyowl #northernpygmyowl

Another Rock Scallop with prominent eyes. This is a young rock scallop, probably not two years old. With some feather duster worms and a purple urchin. Lots of competition for suspension feeders.

The revival of the Klamath River & its watershed over the past 14 months—after the completion of the biggest dam-removal project in US history—is one the most hopeful stories I know in our hope-stripped age. Magnificent @bengoldfarb.bsky.social essay on it here. emergencemagazine.org/essay/a-rive...

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

For the ultimate in end-of-week Zen, here is a video of the firefly display tonight at the massive multi-acre Gardens Aglow holiday lights exhibit on Cape Cod. Tap and turn horizontal for full-size. I hope you have had a great day!

The wary waddle.

These rare whales had never been seen alive. Then a team in Mexico sighted two. The search for a gingko-toothed beaked whale had taken 5 years, when a thieving albatross nearly ruined it all. 🧪🐳 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Relatedly, this is your reminder that if a food pantry would help you, you should definitely go to one. Food pantries, like libraries, keep numbers of how many people they help. Numbers help them get funding. You are not taking from anyone; you are helping the food pantry exist.
