World Migratory Bird Day in Newport Beach: A Sunset Walk at the Back Bay
We celebrated World Migratory Bird Day with a sunset walk at Upper Newport Bay—Pacific Flyway habitat, birds, and easy actions for coexistence.

World Migratory Bird Day: A Black-bellied Plover + a Shared-Spaces Reminder
This World Migratory Bird Day, we’re spotlighting an Arctic traveler: the Black-bellied Plover (Pluvialis squatarola). During our EYES monitoring at Crystal Cove State Park, we watched her feed quietly along the wet sand—exactly the kind of refueling stop migrants need on their long journeys.

Happy National Wildlife Day!
🌍✨ Today is National Wildlife Day — a day dedicated to endangered wildlife and the ongoing efforts to protect them.
We’re shining a light on the California Brown Pelican, a magical species once on the brink of extinction that made an incredible recovery thanks to conservation protections. 🪶💙

World Environment Day #BeatPlasticPollution
This year’s World Environment Day focuses on ending plastic pollution.
Today, we’re highlighting a tragic reality we witnessed during our recent EYES Coastal Monitoring—a Ground Squirrel with a plastic bag lodged in his mouth, desperately struggling to remove it.
