Happy Mothers Day to the Short-tailed Albatross! These endangered mamas and their partners will take turns incubating their egg. It takes around 65 days to hatch, and then there is still a hungry chick to feed! ow.ly/KB2a50OmQZf

The female osprey at the Fairgrounds was relentless in protecting her eggs through last night's hail storm. She was pounded by pea-sized hail and never left the nest. The eggs remain intact and we hope to see chicks in a few weeks. Watch live at boco.org/osprey

“I heard the night songs
of thrushes
the trills
the thrips and wurps
of brown backed birds
with hopes hitched to stars,
flying on faith of light in the dark.”

There is great urgency to address this, says Martin Robards of @ArcticWCS, given our national and global obligations to protect migratory birds, and that the potential impacts are large.
