Flushing couple's backyard certified as a wildlife habitat A couple in Flushing is making strides to preserve wildlife in their backyard, earning recognition from the National Wildlife Federation.

Talked with ABC about creating wildlife habitat gardens. These folks are doing it right! www.abc12.com/news/local/f...

Today is my 25th anniversary working at @nationalwildlife.bsky.social!

One note: the talk is now actually four gardening rules to ignore. When I included all five I ended up running long so we paired it down. But if you stick around for the Q&A, I will tell you what the fifth one was.

Always find your light.

Please report this account for stealing my photos and posts and pretending to be me.

I have a favor to ask. It was bound to happen here on Bluesky. This account is using my picture as their profile pic and stealing my posts/photos and presenting them as their own.

I would appreciate it if you all reported this as a fake account.

It’s so disconcerting. But glad to find you here.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

I’m super excited for this. Love a good werewolf!

Happy to see so many people joining Bluesky. I haven't been too active here - it's exhausting having to build yet another social media community - but with Meta circling the drain and Twitter already down the pipes I'm going to be spending more time here.

Expect the usual 🌼 🍃 🦋 🐻 🏳️‍🌈 🧝‍♂️ 🍽️ content!

Can’t wait for this!

See you there!

I'm going live on St. Louis Public Radio today to talk about something controversial: anthropomorphizing & naming wild animals. Is it unscientific? Does it help or harm conservation? What do you think?

Appearances - Naturalist David Mizejewski David is a media personality, author, blogger and a naturalist with the National Wildlife Federation.

I'll be in Seattle next weekend speaking at the Northwest Flower & Garden Festival about natural gardening that supports birds, butterflies, bees & other wildlife.

See where else I'll be speaking in 2024 here. I might be coming to your neck of the woods! naturalist.nwf.org/appearances/

These guides to drawing invertebrates are incredible.

LGBTQIA+ Representation in Conservation Learn how naturalist David Mizejewski is living his most authentic life both in and outside of the wildlife conservation space.

I'm honored to be featured here to help Wild Kingdom celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. Visibility is so important. I never saw any LGBTQ+ people growing up, especially not in the wildlife conservation TV space, and it would have made a huge difference in my life if I had.

Talked to Weather Channel about the recent rash of incidents of people dangerously or inappropriately "rescuing" wildlife.

Do you know what to do in that situation? Here's my advice. https://weather.com/science/environment/news/2023-06-06-how-to-help-a-wild-animal-bison-yellowstone

Happy Pollinator Month! The bumble bees are enjoying the penstemon in my native plant garden today. Don't think we can post videos here yet, so here's a screenshot of my TikTok vid. I got the plants at https://gardenforwildlife.com.

Recently a baby bison was euthanized in Yellowstone after a well-meaning man pulled it from a river. I talked with National Geographic about what you should actually do if you encounter baby wildlife. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/how-to-safely-help-wild-baby-animals

I'm on The Drew Barrymore Show today talking about sloths & wildlife conservation. Hope you can catch it--but even more I hope you'll help save wildlife by symbolically adopting a sloth or other wild animal to support National Wildlife Federation's conservation programs here: https://bit.ly/3oFTdAO

This is somehow very reassuring.

hahaha! Well, I hope you seek some out because they are amazing.

OMG that was supposed to be CRUMB BUN. LOL

Here's more on them from Cooks Country and Splendid Table: https://www.splendidtable.org/story/2017/02/16/crumb-overload-new-jersey-crumb-buns-by-cooks-country

I'm from NJ where there's a big Italian American influence on cuisine so for sure my mother's eggplant parm will be on the menu. Excellent bagels & potato latkes too. Hearty winter stews. Lobster rolls. Crumb buns. And of course pork roll/Taylor ham will be prominently featured, which is peak NJ.

"Happy weight" -- I love that! Our fantasy retirement is opening up a little restaurant featuring our fave comfort foods from the North (me) and South (him) called "Fat and Happy's."

So who should I follow here? I'm specifically into nature, plants, animals, natural gardening, scicomm & conservation as well as classic nerd content (Star Wars, Star Trek, D&D, Tolkien, comics, scifi, fantasy, etc.). Whose posts do you enjoy the most?

But have you tried pork roll?
