The poozooka (totally a scientific term) is a method used by raptors to keep the nest site relatively clean.

Yes, this happened. Once in a lifetime for me. I never expected to see or photograph one in Calgary. Wolverine. Pictures taken April 15 2023. #wolverine #Calgary #Alberta @ParksCanada @NatureAlberta @NatureCanada @NatureYYC

After a few months abroad, it was exciting to get back in the woods and check my DSLR #cameratrap The main highlight was this black bear; deep in thought and contemplating whether this strange clicky box would make a good chew toy... Lucky for me, it decided to keep moving

@abigailthiemkey being realistic and and finding windows where I can fit in quick high-intensity/body weight home workouts has been helpful for me. feeling guilty about not having a “perfect” workout every time can be counterproductive to staying active long term with a busy schedule :)

@KatFleury Congratulations Kat! 🥳

Excited for the opportunity to contribute to and learn from the research being conducted by the @DiseaseEcol team @LammiStation for the next three months as a research assistant on their project investigating the relationship between habitat and wildlife disease #FieldSZN
