Pleased to see Nova Scotia announce the designation of 9300 ha as protected areas + $20 million investment in protecting the province's land & water. Good news for birds that rely on these landscapes, including species at risk. #COP15

Birds Canada welcomes news that New Brunswick is protecting an additional 277,900 ha to reach its goal of protecting 10% of the province's land & freshwater. An encouraging move that will help #wildlife including at-risk & migratory birds. #COP15

One of my favourite #Himalayan birds. The scientific name 'Niltava sundara' does justice to beauty of the bird.❤️

The future of people and the planet depends on biodiversity. Canada must deliver a new action plan to fulfill its promise to halt and reverse nature loss.

Male and female Muslin Moth. Males are grey and are nocturnal, females are white and fly by day, but both have the same crazy hair! #MothsMatter

Have you ever heard of #Motus? It’s a wildlife tracking system that lets us study the movement of small #birds, mammals and even some insects. Learn more about how we use it to tag and study Dunlin in the #FraserRiverEstuary Key Biodiversity Area here: youtu.be/rw3BUvXRztQ

Scaly-breasted Bulbul (Rubigula squamata)
In my mind, I call this the ‘Waist-coat Bulbul’

The local Pacific Loons are really Pacific by now. The placid lakes around Anchorage #Alaska are icebound so now the loons are out on the wind tossed ocean until spring.
