By now, most species of birds have migrated south to escape the chilly temperatures.

However, some species overwinter in Canada! They survive by using strategies such as stowing food sources such as seeds in secret places, sheltering in tree cavities and brush thickets,

Halloween isn’t only about costumes and candy. The real treats are the species that help our planet thrive, like bats, spiders, and owls, oh my! These creatures keep ecosystems balanced and add the perfect touch of magic to the season. Without them, Halloween wouldn’t be the same!

🎃 Don’t trash your pumpkins, wildlife loves them! Deer, squirrels, birds and even zoo animals snack on pumpkins. Just skip the glitter, paint and candles. Compost it or leave it out for nature’s buffet.

Pumpkins aren't just for Halloween Jack O'Lanterns. Animals from squirrels to sand cats to porcupines love them too.

Le lac Huron possède le plus long littoral de tous les Grands Lacs, avec pas moins de 30 000 îles!

La surveillance d’un plan d’eau aussi diversifié est une tâche colossale, & c’est précisément ce que fait le parc national du Canada des Îles-de-la-Baie-Georgienne: doi.org/10.25976/yns...
