Something I don't see every day, or any day, really: an American Bittern perched right our in the open in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. These birds are usually skulking around a wetland, but this one spent a few days visiting the city. It's cousin, a Least Bittern, was also nearby. Crazy! 🪶

I know there are very pressing concerns to the people and institutions the Trump administration is targeting.
But I’m also still going be pissed about the endangered and vulnerable birds they’re targeting.
I’m a big fan of Lesser Prairie Chickens, I even got to help band one once in Kansas:

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.
