I think there was about 350 or so people who came out to "Star Night" at Fish Creek Provincial Park in #YYC! A bunch of our favourite conservation partners were out there too - advocating for wildlife and Dark Skies! 🌠🔭🦇

Rock climbers collaborate with bat biologists to find roosts Researchers are finding creative ways to improve knowledge about flying mammals

🦇🌎A LOT of bats use trees for roosting but there are also many species that use rock outcrops, &cracks in cliffs as places to call home. Not all bat bios are rock climbers! (some are) so we get really excited when skilled climbers get on the bat conservation bandwagon.

LOVING THE MOON HYPE, CALGARY?

A black bear and a cub stand on moss-covered rocks in a lush green forest. A quote overlay readss: "I really want to see the Mulchatna caribou herd grow and thrive, but this unscientific and cruel approach of killing every bear in sight across southwest Alaska can’t be the way forward.” It is attributed to Cooper Freeman, Alaska director.

We just filed an emergency legal motion today alongside Alaska Wildlife Alliance seeking to prevent the state from killing an unlimited number of brown and black bears across roughly 40,000 square miles in southwest #Alaska this summer.

The very existence of that show and the ads bring smiles. (The ads come up during MASH. Lol).

2007!? Wow you are a modern Dad!

Have you SEEN how many M*A*S*H episodes are available right now??

Though ER is pretty great. You're right.

Speed Healing - fun fact - bats have the ability to rapidly heal wounds within 7-14 days during the active parts of their annual cycle. It's really quite remarkable. Happy Baturday WCS Canada Alberta Community Bat Program albertabats.ca Image of a wing showing several healed scars.

Fun bat fact 🦇🩹: Bats are super-speed healers! Small holes in their wings can fully close in just 7–14 days. But timing matters- injuries before hibernation heal much more slowly, and may not fully recover while their bodies are in low-power mode. #TheMoreYouKnow

Thank you for sharing! Shall check it out.

If you want to do more than a symbolic gesture, consider leaving your outdoor lights off and minimizing your indoor lighting (close curtains!) overnight during the spring #bird migration period, typically to the end of May. @calgaryresponse.bsky.social @safewingsottawa.bsky.social

Volunteers and staff processing bats at Lost Lagoon in YVR. Seated at a long table with lights and equipment, biologists inspect, swab and measure bats while others record the data. Scene is at night with the reflection of the Vancouver skyline in the lagoon. Photo by Maleen Mund.

#FridayFieldWork Post a photo from the field! Here is our team in the lower mainland processing bats for the probiotics project. Captured bats are swabbed, measured & some are PIT-tagged then released. This is the summer "night-life" of a bat biologist (or volunteer)! 🦇 We'll soon be back at it!

Courtesy share!

Ohhhh this is amazing!!!! Congratulations to all of you!!😍😍😍😍😍

A screenshot of some apparent glass walled corridors behind the demo at the White House.

Just noticed this... are these all glass corridors? They need to be made bird friendly as this is a hazard to wildlife otherwise.

Amazing! Are you able to access how many people PVR'd too? Bet the numbers would jump again!

Fabulous news for biodiversity !

👏👏👏

"Think about it: A single strike on power infrastructure doesn't just 'punish a regime.' It punishes grandmothers on dialysis, premature infants in incubators, and families in the dark. Innocent children will suffer. This crosses into collective punishment

I oppose the amendment to rezone the Kelowna Springs Golf Course for industrial use.

Key issues:
Conflicts with Kelowna's climate strategy
Increased flood risks
Loss of 600 trees
Essential green space
Let’s protect our environment!

Please contact Kelowna Council & say no!

Oh!! Thanks! One for the list. Have watched the movie multiple times. RIP to an incredible person.

A copy of the Public Notice for the Fortress All Season Resort, with the address to provide written feedback highlighted.

A "Return to Sender" envelope showing the address crossed out and "Moved/Unknown" on the sticker.

It's kind of obvious that the #UCPGovernment DOESN'T WANT feedback on the #AllSeasonResort Proposals.

And if you phone the number on the Government's own ASR web page (403-375-5722), that number isn't in service.

Nooooo oh please no.

New bird species found in Japan for first time in 45 years The Tokara leaf warbler, or Phylloscopus tokaraensis, is the first bird species to be given a scientific name in Japan since 1981.

An international research team including Japan's Yamashina Institute for Ornithology said that it has discovered a new bird species in the Tokara Islands of Kagoshima Prefecture.

If we have friends in #Oregon.... fyi!

Any word on how the Great Blue Herons are doing at #RicardoRanch?

What needs to be done to reverse that? Do you know?

I haven't noticed any yet.... but I've been away from the news a bit too.
