Less work for you can mean more life for #wildlife. Fallen leaves aren’t a mess—they’re winter homes for insects, bees, and small animals. Rake leaves into beds, leave stems and seed heads, and wait until spring to tidy up 🍂 #leavetheleaves

🎃 #Halloween is nearly here, but some decorations can harm wildlife. With #fallmigration underway, thousands of birds are passing through. Keep lights soft, skip fake webs, avoid loops, and be mindful where you decorate.

Turtles aren’t known for speed, but Root the wood turtle was falling behind with a missing foot—until a little DIY magic gave him wheels. Now he’s cruising like it’s the Turtle Grand Prix! 🏎️🐢 Listen to Wild About Wildlife wherever you get your podcasts! @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social

These faces tell a story! #Wildlife communicate through body language and subtle cues, and part of our job is learning to read them. 🐾 Read Rebecca St. Pierre’s blog on animal emotional intelligence here: www.salthaven.org/s/stories/th...

If you find a #wildanimal that seems injured or alone, caring for it at home is ILLEGAL in #Ontario and can do more harm than good! Contact #Salthaven or a licensed rehabber for help. Find the list of authorized #wildlife rehabilitators here: learningcompass.learnflex.net/Upload/Publi...

That bright red chest is how the male Rose-breasted #Grosbeak got his name! Males are black and white with a rosy splash, while females are brown with streaks and a white eyebrow. These sweet singers share nest duties and enjoy insects, berries, and seeds at backyard feeders. #ontariobirds #wildlife

A person wearing thick yellow gloves gently holds a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. The bird has a striking black head, bright red chest, and white underparts with dark wings. The background is softly blurred, drawing focus to the bird and the gloved hands.
