📰 News we're reading
• Oystercatchers, known for sharp bills and beady eyes, are making a comeback thanks to conservation (mongabay.com) — South Kingstown’s Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge is part of a broader conservation success story for American oystercatchers, whose numbers have risen 45% in North America since 2008. Nonprofits raised $10 million to protect nesting beaches, restrict vehicles, and rope off key breeding areas, helping these striking shorebirds rebound along the East Coast.
