Me: Let's go birding this weekend to raise money for my Birdathon

The weather: Well that's unfortunate.....

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

It's done. Goldcrest, Firecrest, and Palla's Leaf Warbler. Still find drawing conifers a pain in the tuchus #birds #art

Today I met Lori Haggerty on the walking trail. Lori has been walking across Canada to raise funds women's shelters and mental health services. Her story was very moving so I'm spreading the word of her campaign and ways to support those suffering from domestic abuse. #canada #newbrunswick #ontario

See a duck, post a duck. Doesn’t have to be the same duck. 🪶 #birds This is what a 14 year old Mallard looks like

Should mention a few things:
1) Yes I was licensed to be handling ducks
2) This was a part of an avian influenza monitoring program in Sweden
3) This was in 2019, pre H5N1 outbreak

Going through some old photos and got a bit of chuckle from this Northern Fulmar chick photo. Love how its looks like a cotton ball with angry eyes. #birds

I swear Bumble Bees purposely make themselves difficult to photograph. Like buddy, I just want a record shot; it helps with conservation efforts😭 #bees #invertebrates
