The Andes Mountains of Colombia might seem far away for a tiny Canada Warbler, but it’s no match for this ambitious bird! Each year, this species flies from wintering grounds in the Andes to breeding grounds in the Boreal & relies on BOTH for its survival. #BacktotheBoreal

Would you be surprised if we told you the #Boreal Forest is home to seabirds, like the common tern? Around 20,000 breed on small islands each year. Keeping the boreal thriving means healthier lands, waters AND species like terns for generations to come. audubon.org/news/common-te…

Black and white 'duotone' birds are kinda the norm in northern winters. Woodpeckers may be where the colour scheme is most common. Hairy, Downy, Pileated, Three-toed Woodpeckers.

#GradStudents are arguably *the* primary producers of #research output at Canadian universities, and core contributors to the #teaching and #leadership missions of their institutions. **But how (and how well) are they compensated?** Let's take a look! A long thread 🧵👇 (1/n)

A male Downy Woodpecker arrives at the Hand of Snacks and is promptly joined by the Queen, a Northern Cardinal. She will not be rushed in her selection. A Tufted Titmouse grabs a suet nugget after the Downy departs.

Before dawn today, hordes of songbirds flew in to NYC’s WTC area from their overnight journeys. They were everywhere, calling, flitting; so much activity. The trees were full of yellow-rumped warblers (& others) + it was beautiful + I am heartbroken that so many collided w glass.
