Experts say climate change is making #blizzards even fiercer. Discover why blizzards happen, how they are measured, and how we can prepare for them. My new book, "Blizzards," is a great introduction to the topic for readers 5 to 7 years old. Out on Jan. 7! amzn.to/4fIiC1t

A #killdeer guarding a patch of grass at Walden Ponds Wildlife Habitat in #Boulder, Colorado on May 11, 2024. I wasn't diligent with bird counts on World Big Day. I was too busy admiring the #birds. #birding
