Birds, birds, and more birds. Urban birding, nest boxes, conservation, and community science keep me motivated.

Please don’t use glue traps! This is the second owl in as many weeks that our team has had to wash. #Birds #Rescue

Birds Canada's new online course, Birding for Beginners is now available on Birds Canada Learn!

This free self-guided course helps you develop the skills to start birding, including identifying birds by size, shape, behavior, habitat, color, and sound.

I love travel. And I think it's vital to reckon with the dark side of tourism in places like Mexico, where swaths of coast have been transformed for the benefit of outsiders at the expense of the people who live there. I spent a year reporting this: https://t.co/Pm7ykB4Fe9

CW: death, animal suffering
We want to talk about the consequences of outdoor cats. In the next post will be a video of a bird that was caught by a cat that has no blood or obvious injury, but is very obviously struggling. It may be hard to see, but some of you need to see it 🧵

I've been here throughout this entire saga, and even I am shocked and chagrined at the anti-union choices @audubonsociety has been making the past several years. All of which are detailed in this exquisite piece by @inthesetimesmag. https://t.co/O3nUmKqw8E @thebirdunion

[Biotope / Tormod Amundsen @Biotope_Tormod]

Interested?
Possible job opening in Vardø, Varanger.
Position; Birder.
To elaborate; I'm working on a new project that may very well be in need of a birder for guiding, social media work (birds,nature), product development (hides, tours, itinerarys, etc).
Sounds good? Rt=🙏
