On 12/28, Audubon Society from Rapid City came out to the park to collect the '21 Christmas Bird Count. It was chilly, starting at 3 degrees, but warmed up to the 20s. This year was very slow and counted 25 species. Thank you to all who came out! NPS Photo #FindYourPark #Birding
Today's advice is don't look down! Bighorn sheep can scramble up the highest formations here in the park, but we wouldn't recommend trying the same thing! While Badlands National Park is an open hike park, but still keep safety in mind. #FindsYourPark #Hiking NPS Photo

Sometimes the best things happen when you least expect them. A ranger was sitting by the irrigation ditch at Cant Ranch and a Western Yellow-bellied Racer slithered over and then spotted and caught a fly for lunch. What an awesome catch (both by the snake and ranger)!
Did you know that sometimes during archaeological excavation, we find bottles that are still sealed? One time, our curator found a 19th century bottle of Worcester sauce that was only partially sealed! The smell still haunts her to this day... #AskACurator
Fossils abound! This ammonite was alive during the Cretaceous Period. Not only are fossils inherently interesting, but they are evidence of ancient life. They are irreplaceable pieces of the earth’s geologic heritage and tell the story of the planet long before humans existed.
We’ve reached the end of NPS Fashion Week! Our rangers work it every day to preserve and protect Zion National Park for generations to come – and don’t they look great doing it? Answer that and stay fashionable 😉
Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. And you should have layers, too! Layers of clothing that is. #PlanLikeAParkRanger and when traveling, make sure your fashionable attire is appropriate for the park, the activity, and the time of year. #NPSInspired #NPSFW NPS Photo/L. Law
Happy 57th Birthday Canyonlands! This calls for cake. Layer cake. The rock layers in Canyonlands are kind of like a layer cake. And water is kind of like a knife. The knife cuts through the layers of cake just like water erodes away each layer of rock. #HappyBirthday #Geology

Sand dunes are an essential part of the ecosystem that includes Arches, but they are sensitive. They become destabilized when plant roots die from trampling, which causes a major disturbance to native plants and animals. #FindYourPark #EncuentraTuParque
Little lizard, BIG canyon. Being surrounded by canyon walls can make you feel small, in the best way possible. It reminds us that we’re all apart of something much larger than ourselves. Where do you feel most connected to the larger world?
What’s your favorite bighorn sheep sighting?
Happy 105th birthday, @nationalparkservice! The Organic Act established the National Park Service in 1916. Today, the National Park Service oversees 423 units compared to the original 37 it managed in 1916. What's your favorite National Park Service unit? #Birthday #TheOffice
If bugs in a river make you think negatively of the water quality, you might be surprised to learn that it can be a good sign! Alderfly larva are intolerant to pollution, so they are used as indicator species for good river water quality.
@BadlandsNPS Just about everything!
