Zachary Gutierrez+FollowTropical Bird Crashes Colorado PartyA rare anhinga—usually chilling in Florida or South America—just popped up in Boulder County, Colorado, and bird experts are totally stumped. It’s only the fourth time it’s ever been seen there! Some think a wild storm blew it off course, but it’s also a reminder that shifting climates are making animals show up in the weirdest places. Birdwatchers are thrilled, but also a little worried—Colorado winters aren’t exactly tropical. Would you want to spot a rare bird in your backyard? #Science #WildlifeWatch #BirdNerd10Share
Michelle York+FollowGizmo Might Be a Girl!Big Bear’s famous eaglet Gizmo is probably a girl! Fans watching the livestream noticed Gizmo’s bigger size and chunkier ankles—classic signs she’s female. Gizmo and her sibling Sunny have been stealing hearts as they get ready for their first big leap out of the nest (aka “fledge watch”). No DNA test planned, but all signs point to girl power in the nest! Catch the action on Friends of Big Bear Valley’s socials. #BigBearEagles #Gizmo #EagleWatch #Wildlife # #BirdNerd #Science21Share
