Cowbirds evolved to lay their eggs in other birds' nests while following buffalo herds.

As buffalo stirred up insects, the cowbirds took advantage and let other birds raise their young.

Did you know some bats call trees their home?

🌳🦇 These tree-dwelling bats, like the Red Bat, roost in the branches or tree cavities, where they stay safe from predators.

They help keep insect populations in check, making them essential to healthy ecosystems!

While #Hummingbirds are thought of as only drinking nectar, a hummingbird may obtain half or even up to 80% of the energy it requires by eating insects, which live on native plants.

You can help restore your #environment by planting native plants like wild columbine.

Did you know? The Ruby-throated #Hummingbird is the only hummingbird species found in the northeastern U.S.!

These tiny marvels travel hundreds of miles each year, but their populations are at risk due to habitat loss and climate change.

Plant native plants they love. #Nature #Birds #Wildlife

Hummingbirds in the Southwest USA are a true desert treasure, but their populations are on the decline. Decreasing food sources are taking a toll.

We need to ensure they have a safe, thriving environment.

Little is known about the behaviour of this flying fox, but it is likely that it fed on the fruits, flowers, and foliage of evergreen shrubs and trees that are characteristic of the limestone forests found in the northern part of #Guam.

Bird migration season is almost upon us … are you ready?

Did you know that #migration season has the most window collisions?

Sadly most birds that strike a window will die, but the solution is simple…Acopian Bird Savers.

Do you fear #snakes?

Here is something to help ease your #anxiety.

Snakes are shy creatures who generally avoid humans as much as possible in the #wild.

Snakes do not chase, they generally are ambush predators and wait for prey to come to them.

Be kind they fear you more!

Humans are not the only species that can create #Art.

Lolo the donkey made quite the splash in the art world, his paintings being sold under a human pseudonym.

And it worked! Lolo’s paintings made impressive sums of money and survive in collections today.

The Hazel Dormouse

A nocturnal creature who spends most of its waking hours among the branches of trees looking for food. It will make long detours rather than come down to the ground and expose itself to danger.

Hazel is the principal food & habitat source.

The rapid loss of species we are seeing today is estimated by experts to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural #extinction rate.

The biggest threat to our planet's species is human greed.

Elizabeth Gould was an incredible #artist and naturalist who helped document and introduce new species of #birds to the western world. It is estimated that over 1,000 bird species have been lost since Europeans had first contact with the Polynesian Islands.

Embrace the calm of silence.

Society often fails to recognize how harmful the constant noise of our modern life can be.

It has negative effects beyond humans as well, often changing the innate behavior of wild animals seeking to avoid human activity.
