Another thing you can do to protect birds is, if you happen to be the mayor of a large city on a major migratory flyway, say, a city like Chicago, you can work with your city council to make bird-friendly design mandatory for all new construction.

Draw shades and turn off all non-essential lights from 11 p.m. to sunrise to protect birds, especially during the peak migration seasons. Other ways you can help: 🐦 Stock your bird feeders 🐦 Grow native plants 🐦 Full and fresh water sources 🐦 Leave your leaves for shelter!

You ever wondered what a couple seconds of a tiny portion of sky would look like during a morning with 180,000+ migrating warblers? That’s oddly specific, but wonder no more!

This week, over 900 households in Sweetwater, Texas are getting handwritten letters from kids asking them to help stop the slaughter at their town's annual rattlesnake roundup. I was struck by this quote, which is 100% spot on. 1/6 – at Santa Margarita, CA

Can't stop thinking about how Central Washington once was a swampland inhabited by miniature horses, which is why it was the perfect location to film this nature documentary.

NORTH AMERICAN MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES, OR LEPIDOPTERA, ENCOMPASS NEARLY 11,500 SPECIES. MOTHS HAVE FEATHERY ANTENNAE WHILE BUTTERFLIES HAVE KNOBBED ANTENNAE. MOST MOTHS FLY AT NIGHT WHILE BUTTERFLIES ARE ACTIVE DURING THE DAY. LOOK AT HOW UNBELIEVABLY ATTRACTIVE THE REGAL MOTH IS
The regal moth can be found in northeast Oklahoma. They are large and "fluffy." They are strikingly orange with white spotting on the wings. Their bodies are fuzzy bright orange as well. Surely one of the most amazing looking creatures in the moth world.

Graphic design is my passion.
A screenshot of a text message thread with my exhausted boss. It reads: Boss: Before you log off, we need to tweet a reminder about Labor Day Fire Safety. Me: Prevent these flames or we'll call you names. Boss: Not this again. Me: Watch your pile or we'll get hostile. Me: Illegally start a fire? Your situation'll get dire! Boss: Can you please just make a cute graphic or something? Me: On it.
