Pleased to see Nova Scotia announce the designation of 9300 ha as protected areas + $20 million investment in protecting the province's land & water. Good news for birds that rely on these landscapes, including species at risk. #COP15

Birds Canada welcomes news that New Brunswick is protecting an additional 277,900 ha to reach its goal of protecting 10% of the province's land & freshwater. An encouraging move that will help #wildlife including at-risk & migratory birds. #COP15

One of my favourite #Himalayan birds. The scientific name 'Niltava sundara' does justice to beauty of the bird.❤️ Rufous-bellied Niltava Chakki Mor, #HimachalPradesh 28 Nov 2022 (Rajesh Khokhar) #BirdsSeenin2022 #BirdTwitter #IndianBirds #IndiAves #birdphotography @Avibase

Male and female Muslin Moth. Males are grey and are nocturnal, females are white and fly by day, but both have the same crazy hair! #MothsMatter

Have you ever heard of #Motus? It’s a wildlife tracking system that lets us study the movement of small #birds, mammals and even some insects. Learn more about how we use it to tag and study Dunlin in the #FraserRiverEstuary Key Biodiversity Area here: https://t.co/8tV7YnUNsj
