I’m learning so much about Texas plants and pollinators at the #NPSOT Spring Symposium. I could listen to Wizzie Brown talk about cool bugs all day. Good thing she has a podcast: Bugs by the Yard! #2025npsotspring

Fund our amazing Texas public schools!!! Support our school children. Vouchers would harm the future for our students and schools. I’m joining other Texas public school families as part of the Texas PTA to advocate for public schools today at the Texas state capitol. #TXPTARally25

I started using the @cornellbirds.bsky.social Merlin app to identify bird calls. Today I got some binoculars out and SAW cedar waxwings from my front yard! Also heard, then saw the Red “bellied” woodpecker 🐦‍⬛ and merlin told me the id when it finally sang! This app is turning me into a birder.

I just certified my yard as a @nationalwildlife.bsky.social wildlife habitat! I’ve worked so hard adding lots of native Texas plants. I’ve seen Monarchs, salt marsh moths, caterpillars, a raccoon, and foxes. Birds have enjoyed the water and American Beautyberry. PS - NWF is an amazing organization!

It’s Frostweed Day in Austin!! When the weather is well below freezing, the sap explodes into ice sculptures. This Texas native plant is important for Monarch’s fall migration to Mexico as that is when it blooms. Frostweed likes a little sun and a little shade. #NPSOT #NPSOTAustin #nativeplants
