I really miss having equines in my life. They are just so amazingly in touch with the people around them.

I'm in a frustrating time of life where my ever present shingles pain keeps me out of the heat so I haven't been to the beach like I want to be. I have to keep telling myself this is not forever even if I don't believe it.

Day 173 2023

I love playing with flowers

Fun Fact: Did you know a White Ibis flies up to 15 miles per day in search of food and keeps the crabs and crayfish numbers down thus increasing fish population? #funfacts #exploresc #visitcharleston #birdsofinstagram #birds_brilliance #birdwatcher #lovewhereyoudwell #whiteibis #birdwatch #birdwatching #marshbirds #watchingbirds #native #lovenaturesbeauty #whywelovenature #Charleston #wanderlust #wanderwisely #kindtraveler #lovenature💚 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzN3NnHhUpz/?igshid=1uubx5xnt97ny

Owl Tuesday didn't have an owl until dusk when I was putting out the recycling. A Great Horned Owl flew over the lane and landed at the top of the neighbour's tree. But, alas, it didn't wait for the retrieval of a camera before it flew off. Would have been too dark anyway. As a consolation prize here are some of December's cute Coots. These are not ducks. They belong to the Rail family like Virginia Rails and Soras. #coots #cootsofinstagram #americancoots #americancootsofinstagram #cutecoots #marshbirds #marshlife #vancouverisland #penguinswander https://www.instagram.com/p/CX0Qfx3Lmn5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Wilson's Snipe (Gallinago delicata) in Algonquin Provincial Park. These difficult-to-spot Birds hunt for invertebrates that live in the mud of marshes. They probe the mud with their long bills and can actually open the tip of the bill to seize prey without opening their whole beak. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #wilsonssnipe #gallinago #gallinagodelicata #shorebirds_habitat #shorebirdsofinstagram #algonquinwildlife #algonquinprovincialpark #algonquinparkig #algonquinpp #marshbirds #birdsoninstagram (at Algonquin Park, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CScK2ojAxdQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Well erm, I was wondering if you could show them, because I don't know anyone

Oh! I deeply apologize for that!

Of course I’ll show them! though, many of them are going to be redesign soon, as I don’t particularly like how most of them look.

But, I will show you the ones that are official!

The names in order are: Cole, Uiara, and Beryl!

They’re a group who each have their own set of goals.

Cole is a 16 year old, Japanese/African American, cat/crow mix, who wants to find a place meant for him, since cat/crow mixes aren’t treated as equal in most places. He also wants to be a therapist and possibly have a family when he’s older.

Uiara is a 20 year old, Brazilian, yellow-rumped marshbird, who wants to find out what happened to her family. She’s both great at swimming and fighting, and is good at solving puzzles. She found Cole when he was toddler and took him in.

Beryl is a 21 year old, unidentified species. He wants to see all of the beauty in nature and learn cultures from many different places. He refuses to talk about his past and himself, but he’s known for being a good fighter and lock picker.

(He doesn’t have an official ref yet, but this is what he looks like)

Gabriele is a 15 year old, Australian, Galah Cockatoo, who doesn’t have any morals.

He prefers to do things solo, but won’t mind working with higher ups in order to get more money. He might have a change of heart in the future. He’s a great pocket picker and lock picker, and he uses his trusty bat to attack others.

Her new name is Aya (Kandy is now used as a nickname)

Aya is a 24 year old, Japanese, Japanese wolf/Arctic fox mix, who works at a bakery in one of the most safest towns on the planet (In the town, all animals are treated as equal. It still has its problems).

She takes pride in the decora kei fashion and loves making all kinds of sweets. She will not allow her food to be low priced, she needs as much money as possible to help her sick husband.

Parker is a 25 year old, American, cat/deer mix, who is deeply sick and bed-ridden.

He enjoys tea and reading, though due to only have one arm, he needs help from time to time. He tries to smile whenever he’s around Kandy.

He is unnaturally thin, this is due to his illness.

Blaze is a 37 year old, American/Japanese, hawk, who teaches discipline and fighting.

He’s a father of three, and an caring husband to his rabbit wife.

He was bullied a lot as a kid due to having fire powers, as having a fire or water related power are seen as “too common” and/or “boring”. Nonetheless, he was still devoted to his work and became what he’d always hoped for, a teacher.

Fluorite is a 34 year old, unidentified species.

She’s an remarkable adventurer, finding objects thought to only be myths or legends, being able to fight some of the most strongest beasts on the planet and win. Though, throughout all of the stories people have heard about her, nobody knows who Fluorite is, if Fluorite is even her real name.

(Really, the only thing I dislike about this design is the weird grey apron thing she has, so I’ll put her here. She also has two arms, if It’s hard to tell)

Lissa is 16 year old, Brazilian, mouse, who works at both a guitar shop and a coffee shop.

She’s constantly tired of everyone around her, except for her girlfriend. Not much is going on with her life, but she’s wants to become a famous guitarist.

Maddy is a 16 year old, Brazilian, dog/rabbit mix, who wants to be a DJ when she’s older.

She loves making new friends, and Isn’t afraid to show physical affection. She works at the same coffee shop as her girlfriend.

Feather is a 19 year old, American, Pinyon Jay, who is in college learning the Theatre Arts/Drama major.

She’s a shy bird. Not having many friends, and only going out of her room to go to classes, nobody knows who she is. She’s a very good actress, despite having stitches on her mouth.

Octavia is cat/squid mix.

She’s like to swim and hide in water, and is able to go to the very bottom of the ocean. She can’t speak, but she can make noises. There’s not much information about her.

And that’s all for now! I might talk about the others, once I have them finished.

The research published today in Science has led to an explosion in front page headlines on national, regional and local media and in media devoted to science, travel, conservation and the environment. Today, I posted links to two stories about the research and what it means, and why we have lost 3 billion birds in North America since 1970.

So, wanting more information, I turned to one of the bird sources I’ve relied on for a long time: the National Audubon Society. This is one of its stories about this tragedy, but it’s less dire than the others because it offers up some solutions. This excerpt tells us what the Audubon Society thinks we should implement as soon as possible.

But first, the statement of its president and CEO, David Yarnold:

“The connection between birds and humans is undeniable—we share the same fate. This is a bird emergency with a clear message: the natural world humans depend on is being paved, logged, eroded and polluted. You don’t need to look hard for the metaphor: birds are the canaries in the coal mine that is the earth’s future.” 

Solutions:

What Can We Do About This?

In response to this report, Audubon will be mobilizing its 1.65 million members to urge lawmakers to act on the following bird conservation priorities:

Protect the Arctic in Alaska, by restoring protections to the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and protecting the Teshekpuk Lake wetlands – key breeding and staging habitat for literally millions of birds, including many long-distance migrants that travel to six continents and all 50 states. Contrary to the BLM's spurious claim in the Coastal Plain Leasing Program Final Environmental Impact Statement that climate change will drive birds extinct regardless of how much habitat is compromised by oil development, the same threatened habitat actually provides birds' best chances of adapting to and surviving in our rapidly changing Arctic.

Return the Great Lakes to their former glory by passing the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Act, which would enhance coastal wetlands and improve natural infrastructure that will provide optimal breeding habitat for waterbirds while cleaning and storing water.

Implement the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, which would provide a globally unique habitat with the right amount of freshwater at the right time. The Everglades is home to 70 threatened and endangered species and more than 300 native bird species.

Invest in water conservation efforts in the Colorado River Basin, with a focus on riparian areas along the Colorado River and improving wetland habitat in the Delta. More than 400 species of birds depend on the Colorado River, including many threatened and endangered marshbirds and songbirds.

Defend and reinforce the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), which is the most important bird conservation law in the United States, protecting nearly one thousand species of North American birds. Audubon strongly opposes the administration’s unprecedented weakening of the law and supports draft legislation to codify the MBTA’s long-standing interpretation, which would protect all enumerated species from avoidable industrial hazards, such as oil waste pits. Such a reinforcement of the law could result in preventing millions if not billions of bird deaths in decades to come.
