Today was the first photo outing since Jan. 27, 2026--still overcast but at least it wasn't raining! Here's one member of the Bald Eagle couple that we saw, today, at the nest tree we've been watching for the last 2 years.

This is Teddy. Despite his name, he is not actually a teddy bear that has come to life. Just happens to be an exceptionally soft and cute and cuddly little guy. 13/10 (IG: teddytheduke)

Do we think the government is somehow involved in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance? I keep seeing people on here theorizing that!

TMZ reports receiving an unverified, random note related to the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, asking for ‘millions’ in Bitcoin. Another news station received one as well, and Pima County police are taking the threats seriously.

When there’s no open water available, birds can eat snow to get the water they need. It does cost them extra energy though, so it’s seldom their first choice. Heated bird baths are popular with birds in the winter for this reason.

We are urging #Colorado officials to move quickly to halt the sale of furs from native animals. The call comes ahead of a planned annual fur auction on Feb. 4 and 5 in Hugo, CO.

Thousands of pelts from animals labeled as #furbearers have typically been sold at this auction.

Save the date!

Felidae and Marin Humane will be hosting a virtual talk on the status of pumas and bobcats in Marin and the rest of the Bay Area, addressing why an uptick in sightings doesn't mean an increasing population, and our latest research on CA wild cats at the urban edge.

Apparently a news station here in Tucson received a ransom note demanding money for Nancy Guthrie. This whole thing is just bizarre.
