Keep cats indoors, or face fines? Peter Marra says this is the right approach to saving birds, “but we shouldn’t wait until it’s down to a few individual birds.” In his opinion, no domestic cats should be out in the environment. Read the @Guardian article theguardian.com/environment/20…

No to Mosquito Joe and all those other poison purveyors. Finally this is getting some attention! ⬇️

You — yes, you! — can help the planet. Start in your backyard. washingtonpost.com/opinions/inter…

True to its name, the reclusive Hermit Thrush typically keeps a low profile in dense forest undergrowth. But this widespread species is migratory and must pass through urban areas to get to its nonbreeding grounds. Window collisions are all too frequent. abcbirds.org/blog/frequent-…

When it comes to vanishing grasslands, even the smallest remnants like the Bell Bowl Prairie are worth saving. Find out why in National Wildlife magazine's latest: nwf.org/Home/Magazines…

Join me next week as I give a The Xerces Society webinar: "We Need to Talk About Honey Bees" Focus: Practical solutions for #pollinator conservation beyond the backyard beehive Spoiler: The backyard beehive is NOT #conservation 10 a.m. PT on 10 Nov. 22 xerces.org/events/oregon/…

50 years ago, the seed of a simple idea came to life in National Wildlife Federation's National Wildlife Magazine: people can create impactful wildlife habitat at home. Since then, #GardenForWildlife has blossomed into a nationwide movement to create more wildlife habitats. bit.ly/GFW50Years

Nice! @TKDano in The Washington Post. You can already see the hate coming in the comments, but all written based in fact. Honey bees are a threat to native pollinators - period. Interested in 🐝 conservation? Build habitat, don't buy bees - of ANY kind! washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

My latest storymap features Soft Landings, a concept developed by Leslie Pilgrim and me. This concept builds upon Desiree L. Narango, PhD's research on leps and host plants. Soft Landings are diverse native plantings under the dripline of keystone native trees. Link: arcg.is/1Lvry

Found a downed willow on the side of the road and tried to root some stems for the yard hedgerow. It worked!! Willows (Salix) are FANTASTIC super trees for biodiversity. Important early pollen for bees and host plant for hundreds of moth & butterfly caterpillars #nativeplants

!Migration Alert! The forecast is for 300+ MILLION birds in the air over the U.S. each of the next three nights, according to Team BirdCast. Try turning off nonessential lighting, and treating reflective glass to help protect birds. Learn more: birdcast.info/science-to-act…

Migration Alert!! 400 million birds will be migrating tonight—a good time to turn off nonessential outdoor lighting and to treat reflective windows to keep birds safe. Learn more at birdcast.info/science-to-act… #LightsOut #LightsOutAlert

It's firefly season! Summer brings flashing bioluminescent lights to dark skies. Who wouldn't be mesmerized? The U.S. is home to over 150 species of fireflies. Help us conserve them by observing responsibly. Learn more at xerces.org/endangered-spe…

We ♥️ saving the bees. But keeping honey bees will not help the 3,600 bee species native to North America. In fact, it might do the opposite. The best solution to bee declines is to address underlying causes like habitat loss. Flowers can support all bees! xerces.org/blog/want-to-s…
