#tdih 1962, "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson published, exposed impact of pesticides on environment. Carson was vilified: called a Communist, disloyal, unscientific, and hysterical. Sound familiar? Attacks on truth tellers, with media complicity. See⬇️🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/si...

I just learned from @socalleslie.bsky.social that today is the last day of Sea Otter Awareness Week. Sorry I missed it! But here is a photo of a mom and pup I took in July while on a cruise in Glacier Bay National Park. #seaotters #alaska #otters #ECK #WCK
A mother sea otter floats on her back, swimming right to left, while holding her rather large pup on her belly. She appears to looking up at the camera. The bright blue water is caused by the glacial activity in Glacier Bay, Alaska.

A pair of pink flamingos, seen from the side facing opposite directions. The large one in the back is facing right and the feathers. on its back are ruffling in the breeze. The one in the foreground is smaller, facing left. They are really lovely.

#BirdOfTheDay | #Pairs | #LeastTern Courtship on the beach. Nothing says "I love you" like a dead fish.
A boy meets a girl on the beach, presents her a fish, and the rest is history. During mating, male Least Terns present little fish to their mates. In this case, just a few seconds later, she drops it in the sand, then retrieves it.

A Clark’s grebe (left) and western grebe (right) in courtship for the #Pairs theme of #BirdOfTheDay Okay, they’re not the same species, but they think they are, so I hope this fits the theme well enough. Differences between spp in alt text. #birds #nature #photography #ECK
Four panels of images showing 2 grebes swimming next to each other and making identical movements with their heads. The one on the left is a Clark’s grebe, the eye is surrounded by white and its bill is orange. The one on the right is a western grebe, the eye is surrounded by black and it has a straw colored bill. In California and Oregon 3.5% of these birds hybridize.

STARVING SEABIRDS. AND WHALES. OVERFISHING IS KILLING OUR OCEANS.
From cormorants strewn on beaches to orcas carrying dead babies and now an injured pelican knocking on NOAA’s door—wildlife won’t let us ignore the catastrophic impact of the human appetite for fish.

An immature male Wilson’s warbler is perched on a vertical branch. He is largely in the shade, but a spot of sunlight falls on his eye and the side of his head.

Orcas can hunt great whites and take down young blue whales, yet not a single wild orca has ever killed a human. Scientists still can't fully explain why.
