This is why I don't vote in the advanced polls. Your chosen candidate might do something stupid and drop out, and we don't have ranked ballots, so bye-bye vote. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

There's absolutely a pecking order at my feeders (generally biggest to smallest) so I was surprised to find this capture on my Birdfy today with 4 species dining together! The Dark-eyed Junco is usually the bossy one.

I had to snowshoe out to fill the feeders this afternoon, but the birds sure appreciated it. We had no less than 10 Northern Cardinals, along with 14 other species, enjoying the suet, seed & but buffet.

“Booing is your patriotic duty right now. It’s not very Canadian, and that’s the point. We’ve let this whole polite northerner shtick exist for too long…You know what rude people get? Service. They squeak, but they also get the oil.” #TeamCanada www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/artic...

A thread of #ConservationJobs (and career resources) in conservation-related science, policy, practice, communication, etc. I'll add to it over time. Focus will be mostly in Canada, with occasional posts for other parts of the world. Share job ads with me and I'll link here. 🌎🧪

Today we wrapped up our 9th day of aerial transect surveys in the Swan & Spirit caribou ranges in northwestern Ontario. The next shift is arriving on the weekend to continue with demographic surveys. Hopefully they have warmer weather than the -38°C we started with this morning!

If you’re on TikTok you’ll know that @jannarden.bsky.social is trending in a very Canadian way as users are using her song to accompany videos of the disposal of non-Canadian products. “Thrown out, with all the rusted, tangled, dented god damned miseries” This one is my favourite.

Great to see this show of unity and leadership from our former Prime Ministers. Canada is so much bigger than our politics.

Here’s a quick video of the Boreal Owl I was able to photograph this past weekend. I figure we could use a few more owls on the timeline! #wildlife #birds #owls

Interesting read! “By enabling workers and businesses to repair rather than replace, Canada can maximize the value of existing goods, reduce dependence on volatile global supply chains and make the country more self-sufficient, all without added government spending.”
