💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🦅🐟 The solitary #shoebill stands nearly 150 cm tall, has a piercing glare, and can stay still like a #statue for hours.
The #prehistoric-looking shoebill's massive beak gives it an advantage when hunting in muddy #water, while its wingspan is helpful for balance as they walk through unstable, floating vegetation.

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: What can pollinate an #orchid with a #nectar spur up to 16 cm long?
#Florida's ghost #orchid is pale, night-blooming, and belongs to the same #angraecoid group as Darwin's orchid. This #video follows researchers climbing into the canopy to get photos of this elusive #flower.

Faeries, rooted in global folklore, are connected to swamps, which serve as mysterious gateways between realms. Observations of luminous beings and ethereal music in these ecosystems suggest a deeper relationship. #fairies #swamps #fae https://connectparanormal.net/2025/12/23/faeries-and-their-connection-to-swamps/

The Great Dismal Swamp lies between North Carolina and Virginia, a sprawling wilderness of water, cypress, and thick mist. In daylight it appears serene, almost inviting—but others say the swamp reveals a very different nature at night. #ghosts #swamps https://connectparanormal.link/post/801462498926690304/haunted-dismal-swamp-the-great-dismal-swamp-lies

America's liminal wetlands don't just persist, writes Ashley Stimpson. They insist. Today's inspiration for flagging resilience comes from a place you might not expect.

CAM #photosynthesis discovered in carnivorous plants
https://phys.org/news/2025-11-cam-photosynthesis-carnivorous.html"Most #CarnivorousPlants colonize wet, nutrient-poor habitats such as #bogs or #swamps. One of the few exceptions is the genus #Pinguicula... they thrive on rocky soils that are very dry for at least half of the year... Until now, it was unknown how the #plants compensate for the lack of water and still have enough to produce the sticky mucilage... in CAM, the stomata of the leaves remain closed during the day"

internet was down where I live from late Sunday until late Tuesday, after I went to sleep. So I missed the newest episode of strange animals, but will listen as soon as my headphones recharge. @KateShaw has made a great episode on the gaur, the swamp wallaby, and the tahkin. I've no idea why the swamp wallaby fits in with the other two.

Swamps are culturally rich areas that foster ghost stories, blending folklore with natural phenomena. #swamps #ghosts https://connectparanormal.net/2025/08/14/exploring-ghosts-and-swamps-legends-and-reality/

Tens of thousands of soldiers died of malaria during the Civil War, but the numbers would have been far higher if quinine hadn't been discovered. Because I live near Philadelphia, here's a lithograph of Rosengarten & Sons' factory complex where it was purified from the bark of cinchona, a relative of coffee (Rubiaceae). #MemorialDay #CivilWar #history #quinine #cinchona #philadelphia #mosquitoes #gallinippers #malaria #swamps

"Thalangama Wetland and its surrounding swamps, reedbeds, canals and rice fields teem with life. But this hasn't always been the case. About 15 years ago, these ecosystems were degraded and filled with rubbish. They were "dirty, very dirty", says Drechsel, interim country manager at the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) in Colombo."

Enough water for #nuclear reactors in #NSW but scientists worry about #wildlife
July 19, 2024
"The federal opposition has proposed seven #NuclearPowerPlants across the country if it wins the next election.
"Its plan involves building the plants on retiring or retired #coal sites, including two in #NewSouthWales, at #Liddell in the #HunterValley and #MountPiper near #Lithgow.
[...]
#Environmental concerns
"The environmental impact of both [closed-loop and once through] systems has raised concerns in #conservation groups.
"While the closed-loop system does not return water warmer to the supply than when it was taken out, the once-through cooling process does.
"Professor Johnson said changes to the temperature of #LakeLyell and #LakeLiddell could be harmful aquatic native #wildlife.
"'#Ecosystems are evolved and used to a certain temperature range, so when temperatures are higher than that, it can change all the things that live in the river,' she said.
"Jacqui Mills from the NSW Nature Conservation Council believed the once-through cooling method could have #catastrophic consequences.
"'If you have hot water discharges, it will very likely kill microorganisms,' Ms Mills said.
"'That has a flow-on impact for the creatures that rely on them like #platypus. It basically disrupts the #environment.'
"Julie Favell from the Lithgow Environment Group said recent examples of coal and other #mining industries breaching #environmental #regulations gave her 'no confidence' that a #NuclearPlant would be safe.
"'Over the past 20 years we have seen so many impacts on #swamps, #waterways, the damage in most cases is irreversible,' she said.
"'You cannot erase human error and natural disasters. There would be nothing left if one of those incidents happened.'"

States Are Eyeing Bird-Friendly #Wetlands to Help Rid the #GreatLakes of #ToxicAlgae
"The #OneidaNation has restored wetlands that help to improve water quality in Wisconsin’s Green Bay while creating valuable habitat that attracts many birds."
Words by Andy McGlashen
Senior Editor, Audubon Magazine
Published June 17, 2024"In the ongoing effort to bring the problem under control, the region’s leaders are increasingly reaching for a primitive but proven tool for capturing and cleaning water before it enters the lake: wetlands. No one believes that #swamps and marshes alone can starve the algae blooms, but experts say they are an important part of the solution. 'Wetlands are wonderful filtration systems,' says Richard Stumpf, an oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration who monitors #algae outbreaks. And because wetlands around the Great Lakes offer vital habitat where birds can rest during migration or raise their young, restoring them not only improves water quality but also brightens the outlook for vulnerable avian species.
“'There’s momentum building behind #NatureBasedSolutions,' says Kyle Rorah, regional director of public policy for Ducks Unlimited. 'There’s a huge opportunity to get serious about taking a chunk out of the problem.'"

Back in the swamp. Play the sound.
I wanted to sit on the shore today, but I couldn't resist going into the swamp. This part is completely underwater, but it mostly goes up to my knees. I watched the kingfisher, took pictures of the blue shad. The bottom is fine mud, but grass roots have hardened it.

Play the sound! In a swamp or wet forest, it is best to move on tree trunks that have been laid on the ground by age or wind. Or bitten off by beavers.
