💌 Every dollar you give will be matched, helping birds thrive through the winter and beyond: tinyurl.com/w48f3npv

That's a great one! Glad to see Minister Guilbeault connecting to nature through birds no matter where he is! Millions of Canadians love birds too, and urban parks will be another great way to appreciate them.

J'espère sincèrement que votre article mènera à l'élimination de cette pratique absurde. Il y a tellement de variables difficiles à maîtriser dans cette crise de l'itinérance, en voici une qui se règlerait en un claquement!

Moi aussi je dis bravo, même si ça m'aurait bien plû de prendre mon café chez Chèvre Heureuse.

Was great to participate in the launch of Conserva Aves in Panama! Here's my chat with Karla Aparicio who explains the importance of one of the sites which will be protected for birds. I'm proud that Birds Canada is part of this conservation effort! www.linkedin.com/posts/birdsc...

Oooooh with the fancy bell top thing. That will be keeping you busy!

Absolutely gobsmacked to witness massive raptor migration near Panama City this morning. Probably the most birds I've ever seen in my life! The video doesn't do it justice, there were clouds of them moving through. Nature is amazing. #birds #flyways

Forgot to submit T3010.

Great Blue Heron appearing unimpressed with the Canada Goose vibes at the Rideau Canal this morning...

I'm not ready for autumnal palettes.

I need help understanding the underlying political motives for ransacking health science. In the case of climate denial, it makes sense: O&G industry & cronies stand to gain. But who benefits politically and financially from scores of people dying from preventable illness? The funeral home lobby? 🤔

In early June, Birds Canada Board Member and long-time supporter Janet Hill (@saskajanet.bsky.social) joined our team on a grasslands conservation tour across southern Saskatchewan.

Help garden people! Is my hydrangea dying? Has never done this before.

Can totally endorse the interior design choices of the Portuguese elite at the National Palace of Sintra. So far, ceiling artwork includes swans and magpies. #birds, captivating crowds since at least the 15th century. :)

Trying really really hard to work despite the fact that the cardinals from the backyard nest just fledged and there's pollinators all over the blazing stars and it's beautiful out. Is it the weekend yet!?

New Milestone in Canada-Mexico Bird Conservation through Conserva Aves Birds Canada warmly welcomes the announcement by the Fondo Mexicano para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (FMCN) of 11 new conservation projects in Mexico, which together will protect more than

I'm honoured to be in Mexico City this week to meet the leaders of these conservation projects, which are part of Conserva Aves - an initiative led by National Audubon Society, American Bird Conservancy, BirdLife International, RedLAC, and Birds Canada.

GREAT NEWS! Birds Canada warmly welcomes the announcement of 11 new conservation projects in Mexico, which together will protect more than 115,000 hectares of critical habitat for #birds – that's an area more than 5 times the size of Fundy National Park!

Cattle ranchers who steward native grasslands play a critical role in protecting these habitats and the birds that need them. Amazing visit to @birdscanada.bsky.social partners in Saskatchewan – including SSGF, with whom we are leading an innovative initiative to prevent grassland loss. 🦉🤠

Wow! J'adore cet endroit.

There's an awesome Chimney Swift roost right in Ottawa - it didn't disappoint tonight! These amazing #birds are threatened. Est. total population size in Canada is 20-70K mature indiv's, which means this single roost hosts a pretty darn significant population.

Lifer! The elusive Hairy Lawnpecker. ;)

Yay #birds babies! The Northern Cardinals' nest in the backyard just got way more interesting with the hatching of at least two little ones! They will have some pretty big cheerleaders in the human home next to theirs. (Had a quick check while mom was gone, this will be the only direct peek).

Fully in support.

Woohooo, sure am! Celebrated by birding at Long Point with my parents. Mom got to release a Carolina Wren, pretty cool!

Excited to begin your birding journey this spring? Here’s a sneak peek at our free course, "Birding for Beginners!" In this clip, Jody and Andrea highlight some of the best tools to help you in your birding journey.

It's been fun filming wacky videos this year to raise funds for @birdscanada.bsky.social. (See my donation page for answers to all 9 mystery bird videos!). I will be joined by my family for Birdathon in Long Point. If you haven't donated yet, this is your LAST CALL! www.canadahelps.org/me/naX8G4zB
