U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service engagement report
@USFWS - 326K followers on X
Measured over 8 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 12, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 248 interactions against 326K followers, an engagement rate of 0.076%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% of 21,874 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 8.7K times each, and 2.86% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.66% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.5 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 88% carry an image or video, 50% are part of a thread and 38% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 12K interactions, about 32x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's engagement rate beats 66% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 76% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 88% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 38% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 88% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 38% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 376 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Killing our national symbol to sell on the black market? Not on our watch. A Washington man admitted to killing bald and golden eagles on and around the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana and selling their feathers and body parts on the black market, part of an illegal operation that slaughtered thousands of birds.āÆ Since then, a coconspirator in Texas admitted to purchasing those parts and having them shipped to his home. This wasnāt an accidental poaching incident. It was part of an organized, profit driven wildlife crime carried out over years by multiple conspirators. And it was stopped by @USFWS law enforcement and partners, who uncovered the scheme, followed the money, and built the cases that brought these traffickers to justice. This National Police Week, we recognize the law enforcement professionals who protect wildlife and safeguard the public every day.

When a 7-year-old boy went missing while paddleboarding near Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, @USFWS Federal Wildlife Officer Tim Ryan didnāt hesitate. He launched his boat, joined up with a @MyFWC Wildlife Officer, and pushed down the Rocky Creek River through fallen trees and tight passages, calling out into the silence. About 50 yards from the riverbank, they heard a voice. They found the boy, gave medical aid, and got him safely back to EMS. This National Police Week, we recognize the officers who show up when every second counts.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is mourning federal wildlife officer David Taylor, 38 of Scio, Oregon, who is believed to have died while helping evacuate residents threatened by the Railroad South Fire. Officer Taylor was going door to door alongside local emergency crews helping families get to safety. His last contact with dispatch came while he was helping a family evacuate their home. Evidence recovered from a structure where he was working to help a resident escape indicates that he died during the evacuation effort. Formal identification remains pending with the medical examiner. Everything we know about David's actions reflects extraordinary courage, selflessness and devotion to duty. Our hearts are with his family, friends, fellow officers and all who served alongside him. We will never forget his service.

The bald eagle became a symbol of the United States in 1782. Since then, generations of Americans have defended the freedoms represented by that symbol. This Memorial Day, we honor the service members who gave their lives for our country and remember the freedoms that allow Americans to experience and share our public lands and wildlife. As our nation approaches the Freedom 250 milestone, we remember that freedom has always carried a cost.

About 260-310M birds are predicted to migrate across the U.S. each night this weekend! Lights at night can be very disorienting to birds during their long fall migration. To help prevent deadly bird collisions, turn off or dim unnecessary lights! Graphic: CornellLab, BirdCast https://t.co/LE1afW7tyd

They may have four legs, but theyāre full members of the team. Our K9s work alongside Federal Wildlife Inspectors and Federal Wildlife Officers to detect illegal wildlife products, track evidence, and support investigations. From ports of entry to national wildlife refuges, these teams help stop wildlife trafficking and support enforcement operations across the country. Let's paws for a moment and recognize the K9s and handlers helping protect our nation every day. #NationalPoliceWeek

Now is peak season for firefly viewing across much of the eastern and central United States. Warm, humid evenings, especially after rain, from dusk to about 11:00 p.m. are your best chances to see them. The darker your fields and backyards are, the more likely you are to see the light show.

A typical post picks up 248 interactions against 326K followers, an engagement rate of 0.076%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% of 21,874 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 8.7K times each, and 2.86% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.66% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

- What is U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's engagement rate on X?
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (@USFWS) has an engagement rate of 0.076%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 325,643 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.076%, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sits above the 25th percentile of the 218,727 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @USFWS have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 66% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,874 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @USFWS post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.5 posts per day across the measured window.
