Our latest guidance on what and when to feed garden birds: Feed Safely, Feed Seasonally

The #NOAA Fisheries agency declared an unusual mortality event for eastern #GrayWhales — meaning those in the eastern #Pacific — from late 2018 to late 2023. It involved 690 gray whale strandings during that time, stretching from Alaska to Mexico.

NOAA Fisheries investigators concluded the preliminary cause was “localized #ecosystem changes in the #whales’ sub-Arctic & #Arctic #feeding areas that led to changes in food, malnutrition, decreased birth rates & increased mortality.”

The larger issue that the population of #GrayWhales in the eastern part of the #PacificOcean has faced since 2019 is reduced #food availability in the northern Bering & Chukchi seas off Alaska’s coast, John Calambokidis, a research biologist with the Cascadia Research Collective, told AP.

“Gray whales are facing a major crisis & the heart of it does seem to be #feeding on their prey in the #Arctic,” he said.

90. Pigeons 2

🧠 This is cropped quite a bit - the pigeons go on a lot further on the left.

⭐I like the mid-flap capturing of a few of the pigeons.

➡️ I feel the central pigeon looks a bit unnatural but I don't know how to fix the editing.

Planning to transplant these eggplants this week for future food availability.

I discovered this raptor in the Fingerlakes region by the side of the road. He must have been hungry, he didn't try to flee, and was quite unimpressed by passing cars. I stopped for the filming, but he got nervous when I opened the door, so I had to twist myself to get some decent video footage. I assure you, it's not AI. I'm not an expert, but would consider this a Red tailed hawk. It's cut short, we kept being interrupted by cars.#redtailhawk #raptor #feeding #rodent #ajalexander
TONGUES!

When I feed the critters, Ralphie Meowcchio and Moxie (the #shiba) wait to lick either side of the #spoon, the one was used to add the wet toppers to the various kibbles; so sweet, and so cool that they get on OK 🙂
