I used to like the birds that tweet, but now I like the ones in the blue sky better. President & CEO of Birds Canada. Comme un balbuzard au printemps, je viens d'atterrir sur cette plateforme. On verra ce que ça donne.
Was great to participate in the launch of Conserva Aves in Panama! Here's my chat with Karla Aparicio who explains the importance of one of the sites which will be protected for birds. I'm proud that Birds Canada is part of this conservation effort! www.linkedin.com/posts/birdsc...

Absolutely gobsmacked to witness massive raptor migration near Panama City this morning. Probably the most birds I've ever seen in my life! The video doesn't do it justice, there were clouds of them moving through. Nature is amazing. #birds #flyways

Help garden people! Is my hydrangea dying? Has never done this before.

Can totally endorse the interior design choices of the Portuguese elite at the National Palace of Sintra. So far, ceiling artwork includes swans and magpies. #birds, captivating crowds since at least the 15th century. :)

Trying really really hard to work despite the fact that the cardinals from the backyard nest just fledged and there's pollinators all over the blazing stars and it's beautiful out. Is it the weekend yet!?

GREAT NEWS! Birds Canada warmly welcomes the announcement of 11 new conservation projects in Mexico, which together will protect more than 115,000 hectares of critical habitat for #birds – that's an area more than 5 times the size of Fundy National Park!

Cattle ranchers who steward native grasslands play a critical role in protecting these habitats and the birds that need them. Amazing visit to @birdscanada.bsky.social partners in Saskatchewan – including SSGF, with whom we are leading an innovative initiative to prevent grassland loss. 🦉🤠

There's an awesome Chimney Swift roost right in Ottawa - it didn't disappoint tonight! These amazing #birds are threatened. Est. total population size in Canada is 20-70K mature indiv's, which means this single roost hosts a pretty darn significant population.

Lifer! The elusive Hairy Lawnpecker. ;)

Yay #birds babies! The Northern Cardinals' nest in the backyard just got way more interesting with the hatching of at least two little ones! They will have some pretty big cheerleaders in the human home next to theirs. (Had a quick check while mom was gone, this will be the only direct peek).

Woohooo, sure am! Celebrated by birding at Long Point with my parents. Mom got to release a Carolina Wren, pretty cool!
Looks like you’re over the top. Hooray!

It's been fun filming wacky videos this year to raise funds for @birdscanada.bsky.social. (See my donation page for answers to all 9 mystery bird videos!). I will be joined by my family for Birdathon in Long Point. If you haven't donated yet, this is your LAST CALL! www.canadahelps.org/me/naX8G4zB

Great afternoon for some Long Point #bigday #birds with my pal @dickcannings.bsky.social. Heard a well-hidden Yellow-breasted Chat, amazing!! And the chat with Dick was pretty good too. :)

This Alphabet of Birds is awesome! You'll learn a lot about #birds and will get to know @saskajanet.bsky.social, who posts very engaging content and also happens to be a super dedicated volunteer for bird conservation. Check our her Birdathon!

This was a regular childhood go-to of mine. They're now discontinued, but after much searching I found a store with a few left! Might be the last #cherryblossom #candy I ever have. Momentous.

DAY 5 of my Birdathon in support of science and conservation for #birds. Guess the mystery bird! If any of these have extracted a chuckle from you - mission halfway accomplished. Mission will be fully accomplished if you take this moment, before scrolling away, to donate. youtu.be/hLNeIXk5LNI

Pretty sure that in Red-winged blackbird language, this team chant behind my house means "make the freezing rain stop". #birds #ottawa

DAY 4 of my BIRDATHON will only make sense to those who use mnemonics to remember bird songs. Here's today's Mystery Bird Challenge: youtu.be/mZz8GnwO-ss . I'm almost at $1000 in support of #birds, will this one take it over the top? (Donation link in the thread).
