Today in History: October 10th

To improve the then-unsatisfactory methods of instructing midshipmen, George Bancroft—historian, educator, and secretary of the navy—founded the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, on this day in 1845.

A day that began with a Needletail no-show in East Yorkshire, concluded with sensational views of the Dunwich Heath Red-tailed Shrike. I watched it tackle wasps, bees and even a small lizard before going to roost. This superb image by @markgolley.bsky.social #ukbirding

To release the belugas into the wild would amount to a death sentence, said Dr. Andrew Trites. If put into a setting they've never adapted to, they may get rejected by other animals and be “looking at a life of starvation, loneliness.”

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

Pots set to catch blue crabs kill tens of thousands of imperiled diamondback terrapins every year, but a simple excluder device could pretty much solve the problem.

“It’s cheap, it’s simple, and it could save thousands of turtles,” said the Center’s Tara Zuardo.

Bobcat enrichment time! 🐾 Rescued bobcats, Tahoma and Tanner, got a special treat, pinecones covered in mountain goat fur! These natural scents encourage rolling, rubbing, and scent marking, a purrfect way for bobcats to show off their wild side. 😻
