A male Ruby-crowned Kinglet perches on a spruce branch, its red crest raised.
Meet the Ruby-crowned Kinglet! This tiny songbird is always on the move, flicking its wings as it searches for insects in trees and brush.
Migration peaks in early October, so keep an eye out for these striking little birds passing through!
A photo of a Sandhill Crane in flight with a superimposed text box containing a quote from Jane Goodall: "We need the green trees. We need the sky. We need the birds. We need to feel part of them."
Yesterday, we lost one of the world’s most inspiring conservation leaders. Dr. Jane Goodall dedicated her life to deepening our understanding of nature and reminding us of our responsibility to protect it.
Her legacy will continue to shine through the conservation efforts she inspired.
Excited to see two American Pipits (a lifer for me!) in Ontario, Canada. Also heard lots of flight calls overnight while tent camping!

The #GreatBackyardBirdCount is back, and you don't need to be an expert to join in! From Feb 14 to 17, spend a few minutes spotting birds in your backyard, local park, or favourite trail and help scientists track bird populations. 🐦 #GBBC #gbbc2025

A downy woodpecker (small black and white bird with a small red patch on the head) clings to a tube feeder.
Got a new lens for my camera so I can submit better quality observations on eBird and iNaturalist! Still lots to learn as a photographer but here’s a cute little downy woodpecker in my backyard. #birding #communityscience

A collection of various recycled plastic containers sitting in some snow against a brick background.
First time experimenting with the winter sowing method to start #nativeplants from seed!

A bird-shaped cloud in a clear blue sky, framed by green tree foliage.
Another day, another blue sky. This time with a cloud bird! Nature is magic ✨

A partial view of a black grand piano with a houseplant and binoculars on top, and a snowy backyard in the background.
Working (composing) and participating in community science (Project FeederWatch) at the same time! Lots of backyard visitors on this very cold day.

Looking out across the water, a glowing orange sunset at the horizon against a rich blue sky
Not sure what I’m doing here yet so I’m just going to keep posting blue skies until I figure it out. This one was at MacGregor Point Provincial Park 💙🧡

A photo of the sky from below, looking up at wispy white clouds marbled against a blue backdrop
