At #GoldenGardens, Seattle, Salish Sea, just past low tide, -3.5’. Pleasant day, sunny with a slight breeze. #OlympicMountains in the distance. #Gulls , #GreatBlueHerons #crows, a #baldeagle #clams, #crabmolts, even a #Navy ship.

My #Restoration #Ecology class partnered with a local restoration group yesterday. We set up #longterm #monitoring plots that future classes will revisit, and also learned about #riparian restoration and some basic #PlantIdentification
Bonus, it was one of the first nice warm days of spring and a great opportunity to be outside all day. Saw numerous #GreatBlueHerons flying by and some of the first flying #Insects of the season.

It's the season for baby birds, and a bare tree full of Great Blue Herons are building their large nests. 🐣

#January 29, 1958
#OTD The #Boston Herald published "Evidence of Havoc by #DDT" by #Duxbury #Journalist, & #Naturalist: Olga Owens Huckins.
The Huckins' land was "where #Songbirds sang, #Ducks swam, & #GreatBlueHerons nested" until #Massachusetts #Mosquito Control sprayed DDT.
Olga wrote,
"[They] killed 7 lovely #Songbirds outright... 3 the next morning... [The birds] trusted us & [nested here] year after year."
Olga also appealed to her old friend Rachel Carson who wrote #SilentSpring.
