🐇 #WildlifeWednesday is hopping in with the snowshoe hare! These seasonal shape-shifters change from brown to white to blend in. Look for their big back feet and Y-shaped tracks — and if you spot one mid-shed? Lucky you.

🎶 Whoa, Black Scoter, bam-ba-lam!
These deep-diving sea ducks pass through northern Manitoba’s Hudson Bay.
Males = black with orange bills, females = brown beauties.
📍 Churchill sightings!

Spotted in southern Manitoba during spring and fall!
