I meant to post this when it came out in March. Don’t know why I didn’t. This is a wonderful if downbeat video by the USGS on what it’s like to be a desert tortoise these days. It’s broken up into four parts for YouTube purposes.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

   Thanks for posting this; hadn’t seen it before. Nice to see some old friends and…other acquaintances.

   Hint: where you see “USGS,” read “BLM.”
