Farm manager Madeline McGonagle said, on the farm, you re not just operating on nature s clock, but nature s thermometer, as well.

Feds propose adding North Cascades bird as threatened under Endangered Species Act
Published
MOUNT VERNON, Wash. - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposes listing a bird found in the North Cascades as threatened under the Endangered Species Act due to the likelihood that climate change will shrink its high-elevation habitat throughout the state.
The Mount Rainier white-tailed ptarmigan is found in the Cascade Mountains from southern British Columbia to southern Washington, the Skagit Valley Herald reported. They are one of few animals that spend their entire lives on mountaintops. They move seasonally between snow-covered habitat and summer alpine meadows.
