It's small birds might land on your fishing rod season. Last week dark-eyed junco. Today several yellow-rumped warblers came very close. Big chironomid hatch had yellow-rumped and wilson's warblers, tree swallows, short-billed gulls and northern shovellers all out eating tiny bugs #bird #Canadabird

I got that bread $$$. Spent jt all (and more) at the Fireweed Market today.

CANADIENS FOR THE WIN Alex Newhook, from St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, wins it in OT against Buffalo and sends Montreal into the Eastern Conference Final against Carolina. The Montreal Canadiens are moving on. Oh baby for sure.

Okay so we're in between net checks and hanging out in the truck because the weather is shit, and a bird lands on the side mirror. My student Noelle looks and starts making incomprehensible noises, because it's a freaking HAWFINCH

Spring!

Two board members have now resigned in response to Cycling Canada’s decision to shut down the women’s team pursuit. And now the Athletes’ Council members have sent a letter calling for the team to be reinstated. My story on this ongoing situation: www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

Spring has arrived in my neighbourhood 🌹

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

Census completed!

Really appreciate Natalie reaching out for this important piece:

The F35s are back, along with all the onlookers (including me) #Whitehorse #Yukon #YXY #F35

Whitehorse folks: just saw five snow geese touch down on the ice, at the Quartz wetland. Also, one of the local muskrats was up and about, earlier this week. Spring nature ramping up.

I had the absolute pleasure of spending an evening among hundreds of nesting roseate spoonbills. Here, three baby spoonbills (AKA teaspoons) are impatiently waiting in their nest at golden hour for their mother to return. #Birds #Photography

This is a very big protest by Whitehorse standards. Brutal case, lots of anger.

It’s Venus flytrap season in Whitehorse.

Very odd portrait of a man with possibly exploding donkey in the landscape behind him. Meanwhile he points to a small maze on the ledge. By Dosso Dossi, who understood what this meant even if we don't.

Swans! It must be spring despite it trying to snow this afternoon.

Absolutely fascinating article by @trinamoyles.bsky.social in @cangeo.bsky.social about how declines in dall sheep in southwest Yukon might be (partly) related to increased levels of wind-blown dust following diversion of Ä’äy Chù (Slims River). 🧪⚒️🐏 @carmtree.bsky.social @draeolus.bsky.social

Yesterday morning was peak Saguaro! 🌵 🌼 (13 blossoms?!)

Spring! #Whitehorse #Yukon #swans

Hi! I'm a scientist studying artificial stuff in animal nests, and I'm looking for a #Pokémon expert. 🌍 Yup, I found some Pokémon in a nest!! 😲 Specifically, the question concerns dating pieces of packaging, which might be tricky. Who knows EVERYTHING about Pokémon? Who can I send a DM to? 😅

Climate change has far-reaching impacts on society and our environment. Latest report on birds by @climatecentral.org: www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt... 🐦 "Shorter winters, spring warming, and earlier first spring leaves can disrupt the annual cues that birds rely on to begin their migrations"

Yes! Finally! This is a very good thing, although the devil will be in the details “…investment of more than $8.7 million in the Whistle Bend Neighbourhood Active Transportation Connector to Downtown Whitehorse project.” #Whitehorse #Yukon #activetransportation www.canada.ca/en/housing-i...

Big excitement in Carcross, Yukon today, when an Ivory Gull was spotted resting on the ice at Bennett Lake. I'm not sure how (or why?) it got there but it was great to get my lifer! This is a bird of the High Arctic, and there are only two previous records for the Yukon...

It's that time of year! A pair of Bald Eagles get close near their nest at the mouth of Chasan Chua (McIntyre Creek), north of Whitehorse. #birds #Yukon
