Visited Merced National Wildlife Refuge and saw my first Sandhill cranes plus White-faced ibis and other waterfowl. A special place.

If you combine this article with the timeline of events as told in the resignation letter published by the former SSA Chief Data Officer/ whistleblower @chuckborges5.bsky.social (article about that in comments), you get a pretty accurate picture of the events at SAA so far this year. It’s so bad 😬
