The signal of the change of seasons. <br /><br />I also read about the changes coming to the Endangered Species Act. I'm bothered by it, because I feel we don't have an administration that cares about the environment, and preserving our natural treasures and species that need us to protect them. ~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264193705821192168.post-64470422209487792822019-08-18T17:19:23.007-04:002019-08-18T17:19:23.007-04:00Lovely to see so many beautiful birds.

Vi måste prata om det mera, skriva om det så att människor förstår vad som händer, utbilda oss mera för att ta alla dessa jobbiga diskussioner.<br /><br />Vi som älskar naturen måste ge den en röst!<br /><br />Kram!Gunilla Teckenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421204461496295103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264193705821192168.post-22953637248105050822019-08-18T12:00:48.551-04:002019-08-18T12:00:48.551-04:00You are so right, E!You are so right, E!Cloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264193705821192168.post-20673937401128505262019-08-18T10:13:21.807-04:002019-08-18T10:13:21.807-04:00I think avocets look and sound exotic.

California and Massachusetts have said they plan to sue. I find it appalling that we have come to this.
