Totally agree about the EVIL #Shrinkflation

I started tweeting when #Ritz Crackers went from eg 500 g box ...... to what!!! "No" grams on boxes!!! Shame on Ritz & #Walmart!

PM @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social this means box size gets smaller quicker than Ads can be updated 🤬

on my visit to #Finland

Quick read on the comparison of species:
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Eurasi....
Grey and black Hooded Crow on very top of dead tree snag. Hooded Crow with grey feathers underneath and black on top. Yellow beak. Jackdaw bird, mostly black including beak. Grey patch behind head up to the piercing yellow eye. (Sitting on back of a chair.) Eurasian Jackdaw decided better to beg for food from the square rock stone patio.

There is a danger here in #BC, especially with respect to #Riparian #RAPR #Wetlands which was "downloaded" to local government.

Couldnt get too close.
Fascinating #BlueHeron nests.
#VernonBC #Canada 🇨🇦
Great Blue Heron nests high above green leaves on the tree. Great Blue Heron flying by too quickly with completely blue sky above. Great Blue Heron perched on a dead tree snag with an airplane jetstream cutting through the pure blue sky. More Great Blue Heron large woody nests high in the snags of trees.

💙Took time to jump into a creek to save some non-invasive "air-dying" Largescale Sucker (Catostomus macrocheilus) #Fish in #VernonBC 🐟

And yes, reporting to #BC helped to have stream blockage removed.
#Nature #Biology #Ecology
Without my waders, I jumped in, hand-caught the dying fish and moved to running water. And my "inside" office today shoes and pants got a bit wet and muddy. This Largescale Sucker Fish was sadlt stone cold dead, lying in its side in too shallow stream.

🧐 Many of us staring into the Future.

🧐 Many #Canadians are staring South....

Just like these #MuleDeer (Odocoileus hemionus) staring south over #Kalamalka Lake.

Wondering about #Environment Protection that #Conservatives will remove like USA.🧐
