The song dogs have officially arrived in our habitat, harmonizing with a symphony of trilling toads. As Dan Flores notes in Coyote America, this is the original national anthem. It’s music to my weary ears. Sound up. #coyotes #americantoads

A new study shows decline of butterfly numbers nationwide. But restoring native landscapes in hedgerows, roadsides and backyards “has great potential for increasing … suitable habitat for butterflies & other insects.” (pics: 2 declining species still in my habitat)

And while the humans make a mess of things, the animals are hard at work trying to piece them back together. Thanks to American Gardener magazine for featuring my recent column on the important work of voles, squirrels, p-dogs and many other subterranean superheroes. #marvelousmammals #wildneighbors

Check out the GNPS symposium on Saturday and hear #mysistertheresister talk about the time she fought the lawn and the lawn lost -- and how it turned into a statewide victory in MD. We'll discuss some takeaways we learned from confronting outdated HOA policy. #nativeplants gnps.org/2025-georgia...

It's an especially good time to look out for and love our neighbors, including those with homes in the trees, soils & waters. Meet the Neighbors by @brandonkeim.bsky.social is a beautiful, thought-provoking case for nurturing kinship with these often overlooked members of our communities #booksky

From the Good Books for Bad Times files: The moment I saw the paperback cover of Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden - with quotes not from famous people but from readers deeply affected by Camille Dungy's prose and poetry - I was hooked. Grateful for this amazing work. #booksky
