Went really early for a stroll by the lake. I found this little fella with its breakfast.

I walked RIGHT PAST HER before I realized she was there. Got this photo of her in my daylily bed from maybe five feet away.

A Japanese company making ferocious-looking robot wolves is being swamped by orders after record numbers of fatal bear attacks on humans last year. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/05/13/wildlife/robot-wolves-scare-bears/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #wildlife #bears #animals
Israeli attack kills famed turtle sanctuary ecologist in Lebanon
"The Lebanese marine activist Mona Khalil, who became a beloved figure in the country for a decades-long effort to protect a nesting site for turtles near her home, has died from injuries sustained in an Israeli strike.
Khalil, 76, ran a sanctuary called the Orange House Project near the Mediterranean city of Tyre. She hosted volunteers in her house to clean and monitor a mile-long beach and welcomed tourists to stay and learn about conservation."

The moth displays a striking, high-contrast colour scheme of deep magenta-pink underneath of its abdomen and golden olive-green on its head and top of abdomen. Its long, aerodynamic wings are held up and slightly swept back as they flap ready for take-off, showing broad stripes of olive-green bordered by thick bands of bright pink. Its head features a smooth, round greenish eye and a thick coat of pink and olive fur, while its long, spindly legs are a stark, contrasting white. The background is a blurred blend of green foliage and purple garden flowers.jpg].](/proxy/post_attachment/1099598/25f97c0c7a.jpeg "A side-profile macro photograph of a large Elephant Hawk-moth (about 6cm long and very chunky) resting calmly on the tip of a person's index finger.

ABC7: Mountain lion spotted in Santa Monica leads to street closures; residents told to remain indoors
😔 #Happy, #BronxZoo #Elephant at Center of #AnimalRights Case, Died this week at 55
Activists had sued in a bid to secure her the fundamental human right to bodily liberty. #Zoo officials said she was well cared for & called the lawsuit frivolous. Yet, Happy was euthanized after a period of hospice care, prompted by a recent deterioration in her health.

Good morning. ☕☕☕
30 May 2026
I remember when telephones with push‑buttons started showing up. They looked so modern, so futuristic, like something out of a science‑fiction movie. If you had one sitting on your desk, you must have been somebody — even though, at first, they didn’t really do anything the old rotary phones couldn’t do. I still wonder why we started with a dial instead of buttons in the first place. I don’t wonder long, though. It had to be whatever the technology of the time could manage.
When I was a small child living with my grandparents — my parents were off at the Great Lakes while my dad went through Navy training — I had to memorize their phone number. To this day, it still doesn’t make sense to me. It was “Sycamore 5‑2453.” Try dialing that into a phone today. There have been a few changes since then.
And isn’t it funny that after all these years, after all the technical leaps that led to the cell phones we carry in our back pockets, we still say we’re “dialing” a number? I’m sure plenty of young people don’t even know what that means. I’ve seen clips online where teenagers are handed an old rotary phone and look as confused as I’d be if someone handed me a crank‑and‑jar churn. I wouldn’t know its purpose, let alone how to use it.
Makes you wonder what the next fifty years will bring. I’m certain of one thing: nobody will be running down to the telegraph office. And someday, even cell phones will go the way of buggy whips.

"Oregon gets its first California condor visit in 122 years"
https://www.opb.org/article/2026/06/02/oregon-first-california-condor-visit-122-years/
"A California condor flew into Oregon last month, becoming the first free-flying condor documented in the state since 1904.
Condor B9, a little more than two years old, was released into the wild last year by the Yurok Tribe’s condor restoration program. The tribe has been releasing condors since 2022."
A hawk landed on one of the hives a little while ago. The bee yard is surrounded by nature, so we share the space.
Stunning footage of thousands of Mobula Rays moving together across the ocean in one of the densest migrations ever captured on camera.
Freediver and photographer Aidan Bedford documented this phenomenon at its finest.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🏖️📉 #California has lost roughly 60% of its coastal sand dunes since the 1850s, a loss of about 442 km².
Researchers used historical #maps, aerial #photos, and #lidar #data tracked by #machinelearning to measure the decline. Most losses came from development, #erosion, and invasive grasses, but some dunes expanded by 15 km² .
