This year’s holiday celebrations have looked and felt different, and they brought a lot of firsts.
For many of us, it was the first time staying home and cooking for ourselves. For others, it was a break from the long lines of traffic and stresses of traveling. We found ourselves crowded around video chats rather than around the dinner table.
While the pandemic continues to reshape what would normally be a busy holiday season, we at the Delaware Nature Society invite you to consider some ways to find joy while we stay at home this year – and to join us in keeping our natural world protected for future generations.
If you are going on a trek anytime soon, it will probably be a good idea to look before you walk. After all, you will never know what animal might stop you in your tracks and claim your path as their own. So just imagine the shock on Stomp contributor anonymous ' face when he saw a crocodile chilling on.

According to K. Ravindran, president of Nature Society of Tiruppur, there has been a gradual decline in the arrival of migratory birds for the past few years. With Tiruppur district witnessing steady rainfall in the past few weeks, the water level in Nanjarayan Tank has increased this year. This has left virtually no shores or mud flats, which are preferred by ducks and shorebirds (also known as waders) and are seen only when the water recedes at the Tank, he said.
