Law enforcement drove through the barrier of more than 50 protesters who were walking through the crosswalk at the entrance of Coast Guard Island, eventually using flash bangs to break through.

Fun beaver/fish interaction: When I approached this pond, I startled brown trout preparing to spawn below it (beavs filter sediment & keep downstream substrate clean). The fish dashed to the dam & hid in its base. Beavers created perfect spawning grounds: pristine gravel adjacent to dense cover! 🤯🦫🐟

If I were ever elected president, the first thing I’d do is take a sledgehammer to that ballroom.

Trump has no right to destroy any part of the White House. He doesn't own it. It is THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE. He is only a temporary tenant whether he wants to believe it or not. Why did they allow this destruction. The Rose Garden has already been turned in to an outdoor speakeasy.

I research and write Bay Nature magazine's quarterly nature almanac and Jane Kim illustrates it. Seeing those hours of exploration and research turn into these drawings from a classroom of kiddos in Alameda, broke me in the best kind of way.

A year ago we spied the first Western fence lizard in our backyard. It was so tiny, and mainly camped out in a slim crevice between two old steps. We've seen it a dozen times over the year, and then nothing for about two months. But here today: full-grown and thankfully hard to see!
