Even with Global Big Day over, my friends and I are still going to be raising money for Birds Canada. We'll be doing a redo Big Day later in the both. #birds #birdathon #conservation

Highlight of the day was a Great Crested Flycatcher but the forest was pretty quiet. The birds had more sense than me to be out and about in the cold (3 C) and the rain. Post-birding bagel and coffee was definitely needed! #birds #globalbigday #birdathon #birding

No matter what polls say, this Canadian election could be VERY close.

Don’t be overconfident, apathetic, or unstrategic, like too many were in the United States.

Look how that turned out for them. And for the world.

TURNOUT WINS ELECTIONS.

2 more advance voting days.

Make Mark Carney our PM.

Canadians… please vote! Every vote for the Liberal Party is crucial. Don’t think “oh, we’re ahead in the polls, I don’t need to vote”. Those are the votes that will get us ahead by a higher margin. If we’re not ahead by much they might just get us past the line for a win!! Please please please! 🙏

🚨 The EU is about to weaken wolf protection officially. And this might only be the beginning. 🚨

Right now, it’s the wolf, but what’s next? The EU has long led the world in environmental protection. Today, this legacy is under threat.

We can't let this happen. Keep your #HandsOffNature.
