Happy #WorldMigratoryBirdDay to all who celebrate! I’m digging my most abundant buds of the day — the American Robin. I love seeing great big flocks cleaning out the mountain ash.

Sharpie in the hood! 🪶 This bird has been drawn to the feeders to the great dismay all other yard birds both large and small. #ProjectFeederWatch

TIL that turkeys have beards. 🪶

Announcing Birds Canada’s 2025 Avian Ambassador: the Chestnut-collared Longspur! Throughout 2025, we’ll be sharing more about the Chestnut-collared Longspur’s story, the threats facing grassland birds, and how we can take action to protect this vital ecosystem. Stay tuned!

I could not be happier to welcome back all the glorious blackbirds! Grackles have a pretty bad rep — they’re big, they’re noisy, they chase off smaller species, but dang they are fun to watch. There has been high drama at the feeders since their return! 🪶 #ProjectFeederWatch

Here’s another reason to support bird conservation—Birds contribute $279 billion to the U.S. economy and create 1.4 million jobs. 💸 #Birds are big business!

Spring is here!! Song Sparrows are singing, rain is falling, its a perfect day to #getoutside 🪶

Kicking off March Break with another beautiful snowy day. This winter just keeps delivering!

Making the most of the last days of winter! Nothing better than fresh snow and blue skies 😍

Our homemade suet feeder is finally bringing the birds to the yard! Just a couple holes in a log with some lard jammed it 🤌 Mr. and Mrs. Hairy are regular customers. 🪶

This is such a fun episode of the #WarblersPodcast! Really great field stories and good hype up for the final year of the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas. Check it out: #birding #atlas3 #breedingbirdsurvey

Good day sunshine! Morning bog walk to check up on the black-backed woodpecker. No luck there but the Hairys were drumming and a couple of Ravens were busy building a nest!

Celebrating 9 years with Sadie dog by taking a snowy walk to the bog. Perfect post storm conditions for trudging through the snow.

One pound of strawberries from the US costs to same amount as a case of mangos from Peru. #mangosfordays

A photo of Uriel and Union, two of the wolf siblings at the #HalibutonWolfCentre. Seeing the wolf pack interacting at the education center was pretty darn magical. #wildlife

It’s the first day of the #GreatBackyardBirdCount! If you’re interested in participating but not sure where to start — check out this episode of the #WarblersPodcast. Lots of tips for how to get started, the history of the count, and how the data help conservation! #birds #birding

So who is participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count this weekend? #GBBC #GreatBackYardBirdCount #BirdsCanada #familyday weekend #getoutside

Lifer mammal today! My first Pine Marten very aptly perched in a red pine. A trip to #AlgonquinPark never disappoints.

Another great #IceFollies exhibit! The highlight for us was Beastie Bones by Studio Nude Beach but it’s always a blast to get out on Lake Nipissing to enjoy some #art in the depths of winter!

Sparkle sparkle ✨ Good morning from #AlmaguinHighlands!

Mikisew Morning ❄️🌲 Photos don’t do justice to the beauty and quiet of the woods in winter. #NearNorth

This is #CBCGoals! The amazing @biophylia.bsky.social travelled to Haida Gwaii to join Margo Hearne and carry on the legacy that she and her late partner Peter Hamel began in the area. I could spend hours reading #ChristmasBirdCount stories. Share ‘em if ya got ‘em.

Another excellent episode of the #WarblersPodcast! Continuing the tradition of taking a deep dive into one of Canada’s owl species for #SuperbOwl day. Northern Saw-whet Owl: so cute, so deadly. Take a listen. 🪶

One interesting fact from worldwetlandsday.org: Wetlands are our most effective land-based ecosystem for addressing the climate crisis. By absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in their soil and biomass, wetlands help mitigate climate change. Hug a cattail #WorldWetlandsDay

Beauty morning in Almaguin Heights. First visit to the Moose Mountain Trail and it certainly won’t be our last! #NearNorth

My feeders have been pretty quiet this winter. The best days are when big flocks of American Goldfinches pay a visit #ProjectFeederWatch

Good news for #birds! @birdscanada.bsky.social and parners have developed a “holistic conservation model” (Bird Friendliness Index) to address the needs of birds, biodiversity, and people. The project will protect #grassland habitat essential to recover fastest declining bird group in Canada.

My little red squirrel is wondering why I haven’t cleaned the snow off the platform feeder.

I’m working on converting my lawn to native plants and cutting out plastics but I’d say 5/7 ain’t bad!

Blue skies and sparkling fresh snow at Mikisew #nearnorth

A little hike at Arrowhead Provincial Park, arguably the best @ontarioparks.bsky.social to visit in the winter. #nearnorth #hiking

Check this out! Tiny solar-powered "backpacks" track small migratory animals to inform conservation. The Motus Wildlife Tracking System — a collaborative international research network — is revealing where birds go and how we can better protect them in a changing world. #birds #conservation

Young dog with a sundog. The cold weather brings the best skies.

Borb season. There are a pair of European Starlings that have been frequenting the feeders and freezing their tails off.

Three Flickers Flicking for Dec 3 #ArtAdventCalendar Flashback to April in my old patch where the yellow-shafted Northern Flickers were always a fun spectacle in the spring #birds

Beautiful sunrise on Cameron Lake for today’s #ArtAdventCalendar There were hundreds of Common Goldeneyes, Buffleheads, Hooded Mergansers, and even a Redhead out there 🦆

I’m new to this #ArtAdventCalendar thing. Love love love the idea! I’ll try to share some of my favourite photos 📸 starting with my fave bird, the Canada Jay

Four weeks into #ProjectFeederWatch and this White-throated Sparrow finally showed up on a count day 😍

It’s a big day for the #WarblersPodcast by @BirdsCanada! We just published the 50th episode. It’s a great one too, all about Burrowing Owls. Check out the latest and our amazing canon at birdscanada.org/warblerspodc... #podcast #birding #conservation

Wild and windy morning at the Pinery Provincial Park. Lots of gulls and cormorants but no sign of the tufted titmouse.
