Remember the task now is to disseminate the images of the protests to people who didn’t see them and project a sense of their size and significance. Huge numbers of people turned out today, let’s make their dedication count!

Totally coincidentally, there are two 50-something guys in my neighborhood that skateboard-jor down the street with a chihuahua (meaning the guy is on the skateboard and the leashed tiny dog is briskly pulling him along). Witnessing this is one of the simple joys in my life.

The Cerulean Warbler has suffered some major population declines due to habitat loss across breeding and non-breeding grounds as well as migratory routes. New tracking technology can tell us exactly where to focus conservation efforts. www.audubon.org/news/cerulea...
The Cerulean Warbler Is In Decline but Help Is on the Way
Recent studies using tracking technology pinpoint the warbler habitat where conservation is most urgently needed.

Mexico just put animal welfare into its national constitution!
