This shows part of our property from the air. The left side is winter 2009 and the right is winter 2024-2025. All the dark areas are water. This shows the new wetland areas that I have been working on since 2017. There are no fish in this area but lots of amphibians and other critters now! 🌱 🌎

Two side by side images showing changes to the land since 2009. I'm the 2009 image, a small seasonal stream is flowing through the middle of the property. Mostly straight with no meanders. The 2024-2025 winter image shows a series of ponds, multiple stream channels, some small islands and native plants and woody debris. The changes resulted in a lot of diverse habitats with a lot more water on the land.

Did u know? If you ever feel alone, or fearful for our planet, the best thing that you can do is to create a wildlife garden/balcony/windowbox/yard. In doing this, you'll attract a family of all sorts of small souls & tiny friends & they, in turn,will wrap you in their loving arms,every day. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐸

If you think economy is a better choice then the environment,
if you much choose between the two, next time try holding your breath why counting your money!

Monday. I'm calm. I'm composed.

I'm absolutely fine.

#MondayMotivation

A Jackdaw perches on a wire, feathers wildly fluffed in all directions, staring straight ahead with wide, piercing eyes. Its intense expression and dishevelled appearance give off strong chaotic energy, completely at odds with any suggestion of calm or composure.

Interested in learning more about bird migration? Here's an overview from the experts @cornellbirds.bsky.social, with links to additional resources: www.allaboutbirds.org/news/the-bas...? #birds

The Basics of Bird Migration: How, Why, and Where

Birds migrate in many ways and for a number of reasons. Here's a guide to the ways birds migrate, how they navigate, the hazards they face, and more.

Live BirdCast migration map @ 12:00 am EDT: Radar is picking up 1.1 billion birds in flight, notably along the Mississippi Flyway. (See alt text.)

Be a bird hero. Dim/turn off unnecessary lighting and close blinds from 11 pm-6 am every night to prevent window collisions: www.stopbirdcollisions.org?

Links to BirdCast reports and more information:
Bird migration forecast maps: https://birdcast.info/migration-tools/migration-forecast-maps/.

Local bird migration. alerts: https://birdcast.info/migration-tools/local-migration-alerts/

Live bird migration maps:
Real-time analysis maps show intensities of actual nocturnal bird migration as detected by the US weather surveillance radar network between local sunset to sunrise. All graphics are relative to the Eastern time zone. When present, the red line moving east to west represents the timing of local sunset, the yellow line represents the timing of local sunrise. Areas with lighter colors experienced more intense bird migration. Orange arrows show directions to which birds flew. Green dots represent radar locations for which data are available; red dots represent radar locations with no data available. Note that many radars in mountainous areas (e.g. the Rockies) have obstructions that restrict radar coverage, providing the appearance of no migration where migration may be occurring.

Brighter colors indicates a higher migration traffic rate (MTR) expressed in units birds/km/hour. The migration traffic rate indicates the number of birds per hour that fly across a one kilometer line transect on the earth’s surface oriented perpendicular to the direction of movement of the birds.

Cornell Lab of Ornithology currently produces these maps. Support for this research came from NASA, Edward W. Rose Postdoctoral Fellowship, and Amazon Web Services. The BirdCast project was created by grants from the National Science Foundation and supported by additional grants from Leon Levy Foundation.

How Fig Wasp Genetics Rewrote the Story of a Lost World

The island of Grande Terre has been described as a land that time forgot — a remote place with strange species that have evolved in isolation since the age of the dinosaurs.

✅ Take‑homes

Supporting home gardens (especially with traditional/indigenous practices) is not just sentimental—it’s a practical conservation tool.

Protect home garden designs that maximize structural complexity: multi‑strata trees, mixed plantings, integrating animals.

Connecting with nature makes you an integral part of the energy network, and you will find that grounding activities, like earthing, help normalize blood pressure and promote healing for the mind, body, and spirit.
