Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

#MetateArch Carved by time, Metate Arch stands as a delicate wonder in Grand Staircase-Escalante. Beneath the vast #Utah sky, its smooth sandstone curves glow against the desert backdrop. A must-see for adventurers, this hidden gem is nature’s own sculpture. Have you been here? 🌵✨ #Nature #travel

A bit of history —
Anna Julia Cooper's Legacy in U.S. Passports
Notable Quote
Anna Julia Cooper is the only African American woman whose words are featured in the U.S. passport. Her quote appears on pages 24 and 25, stating:
- "The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class – it is the cause of humankind, the very birthright of humanity."
