The #EndangeredSpeciesAct protects wildlife and the habitats they depend on. New federal rules are raising serious conservation concerns, with 20 states and D.C. challenging the changes in court. Stay informed, speak up, and #ProtectWildlife. #Biodiversity
Exploring the #geology of #Pemaquid Point, Maine! Ancient #metamorphic rocks, fascinating #mineral patterns and coastal erosion tell a story millions of years in the making. Sometimes you just have to stop and look beneath your feet. #MaineGeology #PemaquidPoint #MaineCoast
A magnificent #BaldEagle soaring over Pemaquid Point, #Maine! 🦅 A powerful symbol of #wildlife conservation and a reminder of what habitat protection and dedicated conservation efforts can achieve. #Birding #jamesfalletti @aba.org @nature.org @whatbirds.bsky.social @abcbirds.bsky.social
#Ospreys are sending a warning. 2026 research found reproductive problems from the Chesapeake through #NewJersey, #LongIsland and New England. Coastal ospreys averaged just 0.59 young per pair. Food stress and scarce #Menhaden (bunker) are major concerns @aba.org @abcbirds.bsky.social @nature.org
A little sunset science from tonight: a brewing Nor’easter helped load the atmosphere with moisture and clouds, creating these intense pink, orange and red tones as the sun dropped. 🌅 Storms can make spectacular sunsets. #Sunset #NorEaster #NaturePhotography #SkyPhotography #JamesFalletti
Sunrise at Pemaquid Point #Lighthouse in Maine. A morning of #Maine #birding and #wildlife photography with American Herring Gulls, Great Black-backed Gulls, Double-crested Cormorants, tons of Common Eiders & a possible Iceland Gull. #JamesFalletti @audubon.org @aba.org @abcbirds.bsky.social

Maybe the starling, a most hated bird, deserves a second look. My #EuropeanStarling photograph is featured in today’s The Record/USA TODAY NETWORK-NJ in Jim Wright’s #BirdWatcher column. Photography can document #wildlife, spark curiosity, and change how we see the natural world @aba.org @nature.org

I’ve read every one of these books. Only now did I realize how many have been challenged or banned. Maybe that’s why #BooksMatter. #KnowledgeIsPower and #FreedomToRead are worth protecting. “Knowledge will forever govern ignorance.” — James Madison #ReadBannedBooks #IntellectualFreedom
