A 3-hour train ride yesterday to the end of Long Island to see my #lifer Cassin's sparrow in Montauk Point. It's the 2nd NY state record as this bird inhabits the arid grasslands of southwest US & Mexico. It was foraging when I saw it but did some wing stretching. #cassinssparrow

Welcome back to “Moms Who Build Tiny Homes and Kidnap Caterpillars.” Today’s episode: the fraternal potter wasp. This architectural icon crafts miniature mud pots using just soil and spit. Once the pot is complete, she lays a single egg inside.

Friday fun fact. An average catch for a puffin is around 10 fish. According to the Audubon, the record catch is held by an Atlantic puffin in Britain -- 62 fish! British puffins are built different. Photo of a tufted puffin by Robin Corcoran/USFWS

We heard you liked furry bee butts - is it true? The northern amber bumble bee can be found from Montana to Maine. Watch for them visiting a variety of plants, including milkvetches, thistles, goldenrods & clovers. This one was enjoying common milkweed! 📷 Courtney Celley/USFWS
