Usually, when scuba divers explore the waters off San Diego, they see lots of fish—and maybe the occasional shark or octopus. But, in recent weeks, they’ve found the seafloor completely covered in small, red crustaceans....
“Narwhal are recognized as a #cultural cornerstone by Inuit, the #narwhal holds profound significance,” Jason Akearok, executive director of the #Nunavut#Wildlife Management Board, said on Wednesday.
“In alignment with their cultural relevance, the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board commits to a thorough examination of #scientific insights and #Inuit#Qaujimajatuqangit [knowledge] from #COSEWIC, evaluating their assessment of the narwhal as ‘Not at Risk.'”
The tool adds a layer of transparency to Canada's opaque #captive#wildlife problem. Documenting instances of #zoonotic#disease outbreaks, escapes, attacks and more, the tool is the most comprehensive #database to date by any organization or government in Canada.
The #WilderInstitute will be launching a first-of-its-kind engagement with community groups through requests for proposals as part of a broader Wilder #Canada#ActionPlan to save imperiled species globally, announced on May 15.
I was scything our field, came around an oak tree and saw a mother deer roust her baby from their hiding spot. They slowly made their way across the field with the little one hopping all around mom :) #Petaluma#SonomaCounty#Wildlife
I was walking down a track that was enclosed by reeds on both sides. I have never heard so much song from Sedge Warblers in my life. There were loads of them (and Reed Warblers).

So happy that "Mother And Child" tied for third place in the 5/18/2024 Fine Art America contest "Birth." Many thank to contest administrator, Tusher Kabir, and everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners!!
Talking to Marie in the kitchen and we hear a strange rustling on our back patio. She opens the curtain, and is greeted by a young owl full wing spread knocking over stuff we had stacked back there. I got a couple shots through the dirty sliding door and screen. DAMN nature. You freaky!
I tried cleaning up the Owl profile pic with a little editing. Considering this was shot at dusk, through a dirty sliding door, and a filthy screen, I'm really impressed with what the OnePlus 12 telephoto camera was able to do! https://www.flickr.com/photos/jickbahtech/53732259950/in/dateposted/
