Texas land was just bought for 1 of the rarest birds in North America
Once on the brink of extinction, the birds have expanded beyond the protected lands set aside for them in the 1970s.

Babies Are Freezing to Death in Gaza. Israeli Policy and the World’s Inaction Are to Blame

As the crow flies, I own property with my brother about 7 miles across the bay from this site. A mile from us just across an oso from Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi, is a Karankawa burial/ceremonial site. None of this was covered in our jr. high or hs history courses.

An ancient Indigenous settlement has been discovered amid the industrial complexes on Corpus Christi Bay. Indigenous groups are battling to preserve the site, which sits on several hundred acres of scrubland, crisscrossed by wildlife trails.
