Join us for an online talk to celebrate World Migr

Join us for an online talk to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day! Gill Holmes is a wildlife Technician with the Canadian Wildlife Service in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and has spent 15 years working within avian ecology and research across government, private and academic institutions. They have worked and visited a diverse array of ecosystems from the prairies of Mississippi to the Arctic tundra of Nunavut as as far as Kimberly in Western Australia. After all these years working in the field, they have many stories to tell, and through the research they’ve assisted with and the places they have visited, they will weave together a story of what it means to be a human being who migrates to be with the birds.

The beautiful Canada Day weather gave a perfect op

The beautiful Canada Day weather gave a perfect opportunity to install some @featherfriendly window tape on an balcony door. PIBO’s ED spent the evening installing it at her mom’s apartment . Birds also collide with glass doors and now this one will be safe for the birds. In the second photo, the squares virtually disappear in the evening light so mom won’t have to worry about the squares obstructing her view. She regularly has hummingbirds visit the flowers in her micro garden. ❤️

Interested in expanding your birding toolkit? Apps

Interested in expanding your birding toolkit? Apps like Merlin, iNaturalist, and eBird can be great tools to help identify birds, record your observations, connect with other birders, and contribute to citizen science!
