The archives mockingbird foraging around the parking lot this afternoon. Here doing a ‘wing flash’ - behaviour hilariously described by Cornell: “No one knows why it does this, but it may startle insects, making them easier to catch. On the other hand, it doesn’t often seem to be successful”

Mark Carney to Donald Trump: "There are some places that are never for sale...having met with the owners of Canada…it's not for sale. It won't be for sale ever." I can confirm as one of the owners of Canada, we will NEVER be for sale. #CanadaStrong

#Connect2Nature I'm getting excited. We bought my granddaughter a trip to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy for her birthday. The catch? She has to take her grandpa along and not complain about any of the grandpa jokes. This Great Horned Owl shot was from my last visit. #Nature #Birds #Photography

I asked Ontario's Health Minister if the Ford government would commit to funding the expansion of the Queensway Carleton Hospital's emergency room. Her response? No commitment and no concern for health care workers or our patients. We deserve better. #onpoli #Nepean

It is hard to put into words the beauty of a pair of Prothonotary Warblers which we observed foraging at our feet. We didn't move an inch and just looked on in awe. #birds #birding #nature #birdphotography #Ontario #Canada

#Connect2Nature It is worth having winter just so you can experience spring. The magic of new life and new growth, like these ferns on the forest floor, gives one hope that things will be better. Lord knows we need that hope these days. Get out in #Nature. It's good for your soul. #Photography

Musk's X is a huge platform that is supporting Poilievre and attacking Carney. In my opinion this large a difference is unlikely to be due to real Canadian voter preferences. X has and will help close the gap between the two candidates. Carney needs every vote. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli www.ft.com/content/743c...
