Once upon a Fat Bear Week 🐻💤…

The salmon were plenty, the bellies were round, and the bears tucked themselves in for a long winter’s nap.

May your night be just as cozy, your dreams just as sweet, and your tomorrow just as full. ✨

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Pearls are an immune response of bivalves to irritants, disease or other contamination in the shell. There is even a parasitic fish that lives in shells called pearlfish, so named because they're occasionally entombed in pearl (5)

Bivalves make their shell from calcium carbonate. They literally crystallize it from ions in the water around them on a scaffold of protein. (4)

Saw two bobcats near the Eagle nest! (No eagles in it at the time but they were checking it today after storms last night.)

Here is 1 of my videos from today. Nick broke a tree branch and then flew up on the other side to swap spots with Nora. That tree doesn’t need any more broken branches! 😳
No baby(ies) yet, but we should be getting close! #birds #eagles #dallas #wrl

Saw this guy on our Palo Duro Lighthouse hike. Super cool!
Best quote of the trip from one of my 7th graders: “Well, he looks NOTHING like the cartoon!” And another 7th grader: “And he doesn’t say “meep meep”!” 😂 #birds #teacher #middleschool

Got a new spotting scope attachment and tried it out today! Beautiful day to watch eagles in Dallas TX! (And we may have bab(ies) in a week or two!!!) This was a nest swap where the male came and the female flew off to go to the lake. #birds #eagles #Dallas #WRL

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)
