Piping Plover’s nesting habitat on Wasaga Beach no longer protected

The stretch of the popular southern Ontario beach used by the endangered bird is no longer provincially protected. Environmental groups are taking the federal government to court over delays in stepping in https://t.co/nD6763uuFi

@CarlBovisNature Stunning indeed. Where in the UK might you expect to see one?

[B Canadien @Bis4Birds]

I saw this bird for the first time earlier this year in Guatemala, and it was stunning!

Meet the Ocellated Turkey: the trippy, technicolor relative of the more familiar America's more familiar fowl. Like if a Wild Turkey had an oily puddle’s iridescent sheen, with an aqua blue head dotted with bright orange warts. https://t.co/KglIEVpgzu

This entire story is disturbing and disgusting. No to exotic meat farms, No to wildlife farming, No to industrial-scale farming in general, and a wtf to the politicization of this issue and the callousness with which people in general regard whole-scale slaughter.

WHY 😡😢

Ostriches at the Universal #OstrichFarm in British Columbia before they were killed.

A cull order came after an H5N1 avian flu outbreak in late 2024 killed some birds. Owners appealed to Canada's Supreme Court, but it was dismissed on Nov 6, 2025. Interventions by RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz to study or relocate the ostriches failed. The cull of over 300 birds proceeded shortly after.

North Dakota's annual survey of Greater Sage-Grouse populations found that the last known population in the state of this bird—long limited to North Dakota’s southwest corner—finally blinked out. Greater Sage-Grouse are now effectively extinct in the state. This disappearance underscores the urgent need for the Bureau of Land Management to approve range-wide management plans. https://t.co/8ObSUnHTXh

@CraigBaird Love this post, but if a trail is not continuous is it a trail? And a water route is definitely not a trail.

[Ducks Unlimited @DucksUnlimited]

Ducks Unlimited is aware of discussions within the federal budgeting process surrounding the funding for the USGS Bird Banding Laboratory and would oppose any proposal that would reduce funding for this critical tool. Steve Adair, DU Chief Scientist, offers more insight into its importance:

“Recent science on bird populations proves only migratory waterfowl populations have increased over the last 50 years, while many other bird populations have declined. The bird banding lab, along with funding from programs like the federal duck stamp and the passion of North American waterfowlers, is directly responsible for this success. Wildlife professionals depend on the bird banding lab to make informed decisions on current and future hunting seasons and bag limits. Without continued funding and science, we lose the ability to manage waterfowl responsibly and we risk losing what generations of hunters have built.”

Two at-risk caribou herds could be lost forever under the #Alberta government's new draft plan for the Upper Smoky area. If approved a U.S. company can log their winter ranges, which could lead to their extinction.

Three young tame town Mule Deer in my yard. The deer population in town is a recent phenomenon, for the first decade after we moved here in the late ‘90s, mulies were shy creatures of forest and field.

Wetlands can hold up to 1,000,000 gallons of water per acre, but when development encroaches, where does it all go? What about the birds that depend on these habitats? @Audubon_GL details the importance of wetland protection and restoration. https://t.co/P9d8rkiNyD
