what a pleasant surprise to wake up to! i love osprey. there are quite a few pairs in the neighborhood. i had the honor of working with them in wildlife rehab, what you don’t often see in photos is that the scales of the bottom of their feet are also hooked to better grasp fish. 🪶🌿

im back on bluesky. i hope there isnt as much infighting as i saw last time. There’s misinformation on the left as well that vilified technology they dont quite understand with dualistic thinking. more healthy disagreeing pls. i fell into that trap for years and it was detrimental.

after living in a forest for 2 months the florida sunset hits different. it may be dangerous to be outside during the day and our governor is just as threatening but i missed this view and the critters that come with it. now to wake up early enough enjoy the outdoors…

Invasive species are sadly everywhere you look. 🥲 Getting people to care is an important part of conservation. Mahalo, if you read this all the way through you earned a bonus honeycreeper, the iconic ‘i‘iwi!

Spend some time today to read about Hawaiian Honeycreepers and share something you learned!

In fact, the easiest way to find Palila is to look for discarded seed coats dropping from trees. I will never forget the time I was able to spend with these birds at a designated conservation site, and the local who showed me the way.

It’s Hawaiian Honeycreeper Day!

I’d like to talk about the Palila, one of the most special wild encounters I’ve had. The Palila is critically endangered. Its current range is confined to upper slopes of Mauna Kea. Its population was last estimated to be btwn 1k/2.5k in only 78 sq km
