Birds

One weekend in April, for the last nine years, nature lovers like you and me have taken to the streets (and trails) to document wildlife in their cities for the City Nature Challenge.

They're tiny. They're pretty. They're charismatic. What's not to love about hummingbirds?

Just in time for the holiday season, this month's creature feature is one of our most festive native plants: Toyon

In honor of Weird Duck Time, I wanted to highlight some of the beautiful ducks that grace our lakes and estuaries this time of year.

After years of negotiations with Chinese conservationists and government officials, the San Diego Zoo hopes to breed two giant pandas over the next ten years. This is fun news, but I'm all about native species here!
