Growing Up Osprey
The parents have fled the nest for loftier ambitions, but these young osprey siblings haven’t quite accepted life yet without mom and dad. Andy notices that they come home to their platform every day looking for a ready-made meal from their parents. With empty stomachs and hefty appetites, they realize soon enough they must fend for themselves. As with any species, hunger is a great motivator for independence! » Read more

On Higher Ground
Sea turtles innately know what’s best for raising their own. And these pictures show why they make their nests on higher ground.

Recent storms that struck Texas and Louisiana created some turbulence in our gulf waters, creating unique water adventures, far from the tranquil lapping waves our summer guests normally experience.
So go with the flow, » Read more
