You guessed it. Today is Endangered Species Day in the US.
The day was created by the US Senate to celebrate America’s commitment to protecting wildlife, fish and plants that are in danger of extinction.

I finally got the photo of the ducklings. I showed you the cracked shells at the nest last weekend.
I also saw some baby geese crossing the sidewalk.
And here’s another set in the water …

Back in March we featured several posts on the benefits of going meatless at least a few times a week.
Here’s one more: You won’t have to worry about your cat jumping from the refrigerator to the top of cabinets and hanging out above your stove while chicken cooks.
He knows I can’t reach him — way […]
You may remember my other Saturday posts about the Mallard hen nesting near my apartment.
The little peeps hatched. I did see the ducklings swimming on the other side of the lake, but I didn’t have my camera with me that day. Hopefully I’ll be able to photograph them later, but they are great at hiding.

As part of the Lifestyles Channel promo day, I’m posting about where I blog from today. Don’t forget to check out some other blogs around the channel.
This is the chair I sit in after waking up Choco. Sometimes I’ll just perch on the edge and wait for him to move. Then I roll the chair […]
Peggy very nicely deals with the animal aspects of Tree Hugging Family, because frankly, I’m just not the biggest animal fan ever. That said, I don’t want to see animals go extinct either. Since it’s hug an animal day here, I thought I’d suggest one small tip to help preserve wildlife - don’t feed animals […]
You may remember my posts last Saturday about the eggs in the nest by the lake. Duck or geese eggs? I found out they were mallard duck eggs, and I finally did take a photo to share with you.
Isn’t it amazing how camouflaged she is?
And since we’re talking animals, I wanted to let you know […]
Here I go with the symbol talk again. This eco symbol is really cute, I think. But what it stands for is humane treatment of animals, something that goes way beyond cute.
Do you think about animal testing when you purchase cosmetics and household cleaning items?
The Leaping Bunny logo is the only international symbol that represents […]
Probably nearly all of you out there have seen certification symbols (logos, icons, whatever you like to call them) for things like Fair Trade Certified and USDA Organic and Energy Star.
But do you know what it means if you see a leaping bunny symbol on a product? How about FSC with a tree drawing? VeriFlora […]
So, I caught the mother goose on the eggs, except it was no goose. I was wrong. It’s a mallard duck nest. The mother had gone when I returned with a camera a few hours later, but I caught this shot just after the rain. (If you’re confused, see Spring Eggs post from earlier today.)
