Nesting season for Diamondback Terrapins, which are often seen wandering the footpaths at the Marine Nature Study Area (NY), sometimes trying to dig nests on the footpaths. These are the only North American turtles that inhabit brackish waters, although they can tolerate both fresh water and full salt water. While their range is extensive -- the Atlantic and Gulf coasts -- it is limited to a narrow coastal strip, which is seriously affected by capitalogenic habitat loss (especially coastal development and sea-level rise). The IUCN lists them as Vulnerable.

A Sweeping New Report Shows U.S. Birds Declining Sharply Across a Range of Habitats
Scientists checked in on species all over the country for the latest State of the Birds report. Nearly everywhere they looked, birds were struggling—including some that have been resilient in the past.

Some more yard-birds, today. I WAS going to go with my local Audubon crew on a walk at Jones Beach, where I MIGHT have observed a Dickcissel, American Pipit, Vesper Sparrow and Red-headed Woodpecker. Instead, I turned the alarm off...
Oh, well... I caught some nice views of some of the most common seasonal visitors to my yard and feeders. Except the Nuthatch. Not so common and a temporary resident.

A couple living in an area not far (in a vehicle) from the Marine Nature Study Area (Oceanside, NY) has a waterfront home near a Diamondback Terrapin nesting site. The estuarine Terrapins are now hatching, and the hatchlings manage to find a way into their garage. So, they release them in MNSA, which they consider safer than their waterfront. This speaks well of MNSA's reputation as a haven for wildlife and public awareness of the endangered status of these turtles, but may not be the best approach, as Diamondbacks, like other turtles, show strong territorial fidelity, and may seek to return to their hatching site when they are mature.

Wild by nature: Ecological restoration brings humanity and biodiversity together
"Ecological restoration is “an attempt to design nature with non-human collaborators” in response to the biodiversity crisis.
The very idea that nature is something outside of society often hampers practical solutions, and is an impediment to restoring ecosystems, Laura Martin, associate professor of environmental studies at Williams College, argues in this episode of the Mongabay Newscast.
In this podcast conversation, co-host Rachel Donald speaks with Martin about the shift in mindset required to tackle biodiversity loss that centers on a restorative approach that’s human-inclusive and mobilizes public participation rather than exclusion."

Scientists may be using a flawed strategy to predict how species will fare under climate change, suggests study
"But that's just not how climate change works. Unfortunately, the trees find themselves in a situation where change is happening faster than the trees can adapt, which is really putting them at risk of going extinct. It's a word of caution for ecologists."
