Did you know that the leading cause of coral bleaching is climate change? A warming planet means a warming ocean, and even small changes to water temperature can cause coral stress and drive out their colorful algae. Learn more: wwf.to/4oUxcrv.

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,
