I just want the many ecosystems of the Earth to thrive. Why is that so much to ask, Homo sapiens? Why?

Well, it's a surprise but this young Rough-legged Hawk decided to spend the winter here in the north bay of the SF Bay Area.

Shorebirds are my life here in the SF Bay Area. I live .5 miles from the Bay and go almost everyday with my dogs.

The Marshalls run back up for my new earworm. It’s dedicated to Kristi Noem.

Hey @sfestuaryinstitute.bsky.social do you or anyone else here know when the large populations of #eelgrass started to massively die out in the #SFBay?

There used to be so many white tailed kites along the east Bay shoreline, and truly one of my favorite birds. I have really been missing them.
