Public media is under threat. Millions depend on the NPR Network every day. Silencing journalism is one way to silence truth and erode the power of the people.

Today, President Trump signed a bill into law that will eliminate $1.1B of federal funding for public media. This devastating act tipped the threat against journalism in America into a crisis.

Millions depend on the NPR Network. Now, we’re counting on you.

Saw 2 Slavonian grebes with two bird watching couples in the hide. And a tufted duck!

Went back to Loch Ruthven to see the endangered Slovenian grebes that only nest here.

Finally found my coos, including babies, and sheep!
