A cool member of the corvid clan for #ThursJay - Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri). Named after Georg Wilhelm Steller, this is one of the species scheduled for a name change. Also talk of splitting into 2 or 3 species, which would require a name change anyway. #BirdingBritishColumbia #birds

Our shared love for birds inspires us to keep fighting for nature.💪 As another member of our ABC community wrote last Valentine’s Day, “I want to do what I can to ensure the world is full of birdsong now and well into the future.” Today and always, that is American Bird Conservancy’s mission & hope.

Congress took great steps this week in removing the red tape for Veterans to get the care, assistance and support they deserve.
