🐦 Is your suet feeder ready? As temperatures cool, it’s a great time to bring out the suet! 🍂 It provides high-energy food and can attract woodpeckers, chickadees & nuthatches. Who visits your suet feeder? 👀 #YYCBirding #AlbertaBirds

One of the most difficult shots I ever took. Favaritx lighthouse right before totality in Menorca, with my friends at photopills. Shooting from a boat in choppy water. Never again 😂 #photopills #eclipse2026

By early July, ferruginous hawk nestlings are nearly full-grown and building strength for their first flights. Parents work tirelessly, hunting Richardson's ground squirrels to feed their hungry chicks. #grasslands #SpeciesAtRisk

It's fawn season in the grasslands! Deer and pronghorn fawns spend their first days hidden in tall grass while mom feeds nearby. If you find a fawn alone, it's likely not abandoned. Admire from a distance and keep people & pets away. #ABWildlife #Grasslands #Alberta

American pika inhabit the debris of eroding mountains. All summer long they scurry about collecting and drying “hay” for winter consumption. Pika don’t hibernate. Find out more in “Wildlife, Landscapes, and Geology: An Alberta and Saskatchewan Touring Guide” brokenpoplars.ca

Prairie falcons nest on cliff ledges and in crevices across the prairies, often using minimal nest material. They’ll also reuse abandoned nests of other cliff nesting birds, as likely shown here. Fiercely territorial, they defend their nests with loud calls and dive-bombing.

Breaking news! A major step forward for Indigenous-led conservation in Northern Manitoba has been achieved. Today, four First Nations, alongside the Governments of Canada and Manitoba, released a proposal to protect the Seal River Watershed. The collaborative proposition takes a “star blanket” approach to conservation, combining different tools to ensure long-term protection of lands, waters, and wildlife.
