Quiet for birds on today's walk, but I had an amazing experience. I was sitting with the Ravens when a Buzzard called overhead. Chips flew up & they had an ariel battle. When the Buzzard left, Chips treated me to some acrobatics. How lucky I am to be so close to nature!

Mama Rainy is soaking up some attention for herself now that her little ones went off to our partner rescue for their next chapters. Rainy developed an acute case of GI distress, probably pancreatitis, probably from the stress of having kittens demanding milk & too much new nutrition too soon.

Heading home after three days with the prof in Spain. Relaxing for me but the prof had to talk about the economics of AI with Spain’s deputy PM who had to leave early for a crucial vote in Madrid which the government lost. Oh - and she also went to a private dinner with the King

(Amanda) Even though the weather is getting colder there are still things growing in the Big Greenhouse. She changed the compost in a pot. She told me the plant's name but it was very long and difficult for me to remember. It sounded something like Cris and the mum. Have you ever heard of that?

🌱 Planting garlic? 🧄 Plant your cloves after the first frost but before the ground freezes. This gives garlic the cold period it needs to form big bulbs. Space cloves 6 inches apart and mulch heavily. You'll thank yourself next summer! 🌿 #GarlicTips #GrowYourOwn #Gardening

Floating wetlands bring back Boston's natural landscape lost to development
Experts hope a new floating wetland project will bring back natural “edge habitat” that disappeared when developers reshaped Boston’s perimeter with landfill and seawalls. Recreating those destroyed coastal environments can help protect cities as climate change brings rising sea levels, increases stormwater runoff and disrupts ecosystems.
