👀 See a bat in winter?
A bat active during cold weather may be in trouble. Don’t handle it — contact a local wildlife rehabilitator for advice. Often it will be Big Brown Bats that rouse in winter - they are the most common bat in Canada to use buildings as overwintering sites

Bison on the move! 🦬
This #CameraTrapTuesday capture shows a couple of Bison (Bison bison) moving through a regenerating forest. Just one example of how Alberta’s landscapes are constantly changing and full of life.

Today in Legislature, I asked Minister Loewen
whether he directed fish and wildlife staff to turn a blind
eye to the illegal killing of a mother cougar that left her
two kittens orphaned.

I miss this little guy so much. He was my friend back in Ontario, but I haven’t seen a single one here in #YEG.
I have crows and magpies and a pair of red squirrels that are happy to hang out in our yard, but none of them are friendly-friendly like this guy was.
