I reach out every few months to ask for support, and I never like doing it. I hope the work I and @coalition4jhr do speaks for itself. We take no government funding. Community support is everything.
If you can, please consider a monthly or one-time donation. See my pinned post for the details.
Peregrine's are back at two sites, at least. ACA hasn't updated the UofA timeline yet, but I spotted one in the feed this morning! Hoping for a successful nesting season. www.ab-conservation.com/wildlife-cam...

Friends, I’d like to show @ucalgary.bsky.social that @bsky.app is where the cool kids hang out and that they should start posting here more and less/none at TheBadPlace™️. Show them some love by reskeeting this 100000000x. 🧪
