I got a break from the madness yesterday when our regional wildlife rehabilitator member organization did public outreach at a mall. I held friends' educational birds while I talked to human people and my face hurts today from smiling. #AmericanKestrel #CommonRaven #falcon #corvid #FindJoy
Me wearing a green North Country Wild Care hoodie and a goofy smile, looking at the slate and brown American kestrel sitting on the glove on my hand, looking back at me. Kestrels are small falcons. This one is blind in one eye after hitting a car and unable to hunt on his own. He is missing flight feathers on the visible wing but that happened in captivity and they are growing back.Me in a green hoodie with my name on a name tag in a selfie with a black common raven I am holding. She is perched on a glove out of frame. The raven is looking towards the camera. Her name is Melina and she became an educational ambassador after being hit by a car and breaking both wings and both legs. Her bones healed, but there is lingering weakness that prevented her return to the wild. She does educational programs and is also an animal actor. She has appeared in a number of TV shows and movies, including The Pale Blue Eye, a Netflix movie about Edgar Allen Poe.

Snow days call for playing! ❄️ When seeking to play, wolves will dance and bow playfully. Playtime can also include a game of chase, jaw sparring, and varied vocalizations. For wolves, playtime isn’t only fun, it strengthens family bonds and reaffirms social status within the pack.

Which British animals eat mice and rats? Stoats, weasels, birds of prey, badgers, foxes, pine marten, polecat, wildcats and lynx. All either actively shot and trapped, verging on extinction or extinct because of human activity. We have nature the wrong way around.

Low light so the release pictures sucked but I got to release the barred owl I helped rehab the other day, a highlight in an otherwise challenging week. #druidsky /|\ #wildliferehab #adirondacks

Did you know wolves are absolutely essential for a healthy ecosystem? When wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone the entire system reacted. Small animals became more abundant. Birds began breading more. Rivers changed, small carnivore populations increased. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGGe...

South Dakota's Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe received $19.9 million from the EPA for repairing a bridge, replacing asphalt roofs, and climate resilience. Thanks to Trump's illegal program cuts, however, the tribe is no longer able to access the funds. The wealthy win while the rest of us lose.

One of Trump's executive orders seeks to undermine the Endangered Species Act. This move empowers a committee of his own appointees to decide the fate of an endangered species, prioritizing the desires of special interests over wildlife and biodiversity.

Boglands once were considered portals to the gods and other universes. Liminal spaces between familiar and unfamiliar, water and land - they are eerie, beautiful, pagan. They harbor weird biodiversity and regulate climate. No wonder they are rejected by white, colonial patriarchy. Respect the bogs.

Trying to find soothing activities besides screaming into the void. Nice of the chickadee to help out. He pecked my finger before choosing his breakfast, though. Maybe it was a complaint about all the screaming. #backyardwildlife #adirondacks

1. We cannot now rule out the possibility of systemic collapse in the United States. If Trump and Musk paralyse the federal government, this could trigger social, financial and industrial failures. Neither Trump nor his team know how to respond to such failures, which could snowball and converge. 🧵

STOP MUSK's COUP‼️ TODAY's protest at TESLA in NYC. “Hitler actually had some good ideas” Elon Musk TOMORROW PROTEST at Senator Schumer's NYC office, 780 3rd Avenue at noon. CHUCK, RESIST or RESIGN! @riseandresist.bsky.social @indivisible.org @bkindivisible.bsky.social cc @jeffsharlet.bsky.social
A protester outside TESLA in New York City. A white woman sits on a stool leaning against the exterior of the store, with the TESLA sign visible behind her. She wears a red bobble hat and lime green face mask. She holds an American flag and a sign with Elon Musk making a Nazi salute over the words NAZI NAZI NAZI NAZI NAZI 

It is cold, she has thick wool socks on and big boots and fingerless gloves. 

There is a NYPD car with its lights on in the background. 

Glenn Kirchner's JUSICE MATTERS sign is peeking out in the bottom left of the photo, it's on the ground leaning against the building. A protester outside TESLA in New York City. A white man stands outside the entrance to the store. The red TESLA logo is visible behind him, just inside the door. 

He holds an American flag and a sign says: STOP MUSK'S COUP! DON'T LET BILLIONAIRES STEAL OUR COUNTRY. 

He wears blue jeans, a black coat, thick black gloves, a hat. 

It is cold. He is alone. But he looks defiant. 

Rise and Resist.
