' #WaterfowlWednesday ,' a poem:
Waterfowl migration is well underway,
Many ducks will continue throughout April & May
Waterfowl migration in vibrant display
Watch as they settle on wetlands, reeds softly sway,
This duck has nested under the thistle fray!

It's #InternationalDarkSkyWeek 💫Did you know, most bird species migrate at night? They use the starry night sky to navigate flyways they've evolved to follow for generations! If we #DimTheLightsforBirds we help them travel safely & minimize #LightPollution 📷Rosalie Wetzel/USFWS
Laysan duck are among the most critically endangered waterfowl in the world! They mainly eat insects like brine flies they find in mudflats, another reason to #ProtectInsectsProtectBirds & their wetland habitats 🦆 World Migratory Bird Day #WMBD2024 #WaterfowlWednesday 📷John Klavitter/USFWS
Northern mockingbird are infamous tricksters with an ability to mimic other birds, frogs, and even cars! They may learn up to 200 songs throughout their life, and it takes a well-trained ear to catch them in the act.📷 Michael Schramm/USFWS #BringBirdsBack
