Friendly reminder that the #1 killer of bird populations aside from habitat loss is cats. They kill 1-4 million birds every single year. Keep your cats indoors or on a leash when outside. "But she loves going outside!" Yes, and your toddler would eat sugar 24/7. It doesn't mean you let them.

The selected artwork is titled "Echoes in Chlorine", a captivating contemporary painting created by the Canadian artist Rebecca Aldernet.

Good morning from me and my neighbors. #birds

🌱 I accidentally started my Bluesky time this morning on the Gardening feed and let me tell you that seeing roses and lilacs and irises and people’s love of them made me a whole lot happier than the Following feed ever does 🌺 🌼 🌷 🌹

He always forgets that I’m a pretty good close second to his favourite (my partner), but today he’s remembering 🥰

David Eby: "This country cannot work if separatists, separatist premiers, others get all of the attention of the federal government. And those provinces where we're standing squarely behind Canada, where we're fighting for Canada -- we're left out of the discussion."

Forget sharing the last picture you saved, I want to see the very first picture on your phone. Scroll back until your fingers bleed. •My son & best mate in a giant puddle on the park. His mate bringing more water!

When I hear that people are going camping, I just never ever feel envious of them 😂

Any sandwich is a panini if you sit on it.

Glad to hear the High Level Diner is still operating! (I first ate there in 1986!!)

Well, my partner who has a Ph.D. in 18th century English literature and who lost her university job because of limits on international students has, after months of applying for jobs, got one as a groundskeeper on a golf course. We are happy about this. Isn’t life interesting 🤨

Life naturally comes with difficulties, the way oceans come with tides and gardens come with weeds. The mistake is to think that struggle is a sign you are doing life wrong.

A few lupins and sweet Williams from garden. Brought in before the heavens opened!

Morning cutie pie

My first Scarlet Tanager of the spring! #birds #birding #Ancaster #HamOnt

A rather unique one today, this is a leucistic northern cardinal that frequents our botanical gardens. Many volunteers and other photographers had told me about her for months but I finally spotted her myself a couple weeks ago. 😍 #BirdOfTheDay #FeatheredFemmes #Birds #Cardinals #Photography

Oops, I posted about politics which I basically never do so please have some Great Egret chicks as an apology #birds 🌿

More than 1,000 termination notices were issued at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in January as Ottawa moves ahead with major cuts to agricultural research. The damage may not be visible immediately—but future harvests could feel the loss for decades. https://ow.ly/oxIU50YXWiI

East Coast #Trail #hike, yesterday. Stiles Cove Path. #hiking #Newfoundland, Canada. Training for my very first race (The ECT 50 km Ultramarathon) since tenth grade…I’m 60:)

This is the mad crazy England I love. Celebrating David Attenborough’s 100th birthday by knitting a top for the postbox. It’s a sunny day & an iconic London bus is driving past in the background. It isn’t a flag & it isn’t a faux patriotic march shouting about immigrants… This…this is England ⬇️££

Made some Marscapone, thyme, honey, and blackberry danish puff pastry. It blew out on the sides on a couple but they were still delicious. ❤️😋🍽️🍜

Been craving it for a while, so tonight’s dinner was the @smittenkitchen.bsky.social Chicken Marsala Meatballs with buttered egg noodles. Always a winner. 🍽️🍜

this'll do, a modest interpretation of chicken and mushroom crêpes from Keller's _Bouchon_ cookbook. no fava beans, shiitakes instead of morels, but it still slaps 🍽️🍜

Well, motherhood & grandmotherhood are painful topics for me currently, so I’m going to stay off Bluesky for the day… To the mothers out there, may you feel acknowledged and appreciated. I know now that you can give it your all and still not be. ☮️

🍽️ 🍜 Supper: on a flatbread, mozzarella, pepperoni, red pepper, onion, mushroom, drizzled with hot honey and arugula (rocket for the Brits!) spread around.

Who needs another cat-in-a-box pic? You do!! Note particularly his back feet and tail. #Caturday

🍽️ 🍜 This was an easy and delicious sandwich: roast beef, horseradish mayo, dill pickle, and arugula.

Whatever else we think about how Prime Minister Mark Carney is doing — and I’ve had no problem at all applauding him on a number of things — it’s undeniable that he’s been terrible so far on the #ClimateAction file, one of the most important leadership responsibilities of ANY national leader. #truth

Heavenly scents in the air today #Okanagan 🌱

People ask why I’m optimistic with how bad things are and it’s the miraculousness of human nature Common people have been toppling authoritarians for centuries. People who have no idea what’s going on are instinctively preparing for crisis and growing softer and kinder as revolutionary energy grows

I could watch this all day long.

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

🌱 Lily of the valley in full swing now. Wish I could fill the house with little bouquets like I used to, but now with cats that’s 🚫

If what I'm reading about this strain of virus is correct, the passengers should be quarantined for 8 weeks. Not sent back to their countries on commercial airplanes. We have learned nothing and are happy about it.

🍽️ 🍜 Is anyone familiar with this cookbook? I’m considering buying a used copy, but I’d love to hear about some of the recipes first!

Double your pleasure, double your fun! This morning I've got three Indigo Buntings so now on a mission to get them all in one frame. #Bobsbackyard #Ancaster #HamOnt #birds #birding
