Tomorrow is #WingedWildlifeWednesday and we’re celebrating online 🦅🦉 While everything is virological, we’ll keep it ornithological! Forget COVID, we’re talking CORVIDS! Pandemics are hard but don’t alarm🚨 We’ve got birds and fun times and many terrible rhymes!

Join us tomorrow, Wednesday April 1st from 7:30-8:30 for a bird ID quiz with birders and naturalists, Lancy Cheng and @labrador_birdbrain. All you have to do is follow the link: https://meet.jit.si/WingedWildlifeWednesdayNatureNL and that’s it!

You don't need to have any bird experience to play, and there are always a variety of levels of birds (some very easy, some nearly impossible to ID). The photos are not perfect, but that's a very realistic way to learn identification because the real world usually doesn't allow for perfect views of birds either.
If you would like more details on the logistics of this event, please check out our Facebook event!

This photo is the final photo Lancy Cheng shared with us at our past Nature NL AGM and photo night. The Gull pictured is a Glaucous Gull in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Can any hawk eyes tell us what looks different about this winged wildlife?

Today we have a few iconic Arctic/Antarctic species to share with you, in ways that you may not expect! All snapped by Nature NL leader, Lancy Cheng, and shared at our online AGM and photo night on March 19th.

Our first photo is a polar bear pelt in Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland. When travelling through an arctic climate it’s always possible to run into the polar giants but Lancy was pleased that this was his only close encounter of the trip!

Our second photo is two young orcas sharing a penguin, near Danco island, Antarctica. An unconventional way to display two beautiful Antarctic species but an essential part of displaying nature is presenting you with the food web!

I think we can all relate to feeling like we’re

I think we can all relate to feeling like we’re living on an ice rock from time to time in Newfoundland and Labrador so we present you with a piece of A-68! Currently the largest iceberg in the world, floating through the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. This iceberg is the size of PEI!

This is another photo from Nature NL leader, Lancy Cheng’s, trip to Antarctica. #LetsGetWild #BrighterDaysChallenge #nature #naturenl #WeddellSea #antarctica #A68 #nl #newfoundland

Our annual general meeting and photo night moved online last Thursday to practice #socialdistancing, while continuing to connect nature enthusiasts in the province🌿

Now is the perfect time to continue sharing our stories, our views of the natural world, and our photos of treasured time in the outdoors! Over the next few weeks we will be sharing the stories and photos brought forward at the AGM and photo night with you. When everyone is starting to feel a little bit whacky from social distancing and perhaps working from home #LetsGetWild online together!
To start our photo series off is a photo taken by naturalist and Nature NL leader, Lancy Cheng, during his trip to the Antarctic. The bird pictured is a Cobb’s Wren, an endemic species to the Falkland Islands. Lancy explained that it was his dream bird to see and everyone working with him knew that he was looking for it. During his time on the Falkland Islands he saw not one, but four! He described the experience like he stopped breathing for 5 minutes. After his birding success, Lancy was congratulated by his coworker for finding the “brown bird” - Lancy described it as a heartwarming moment, knowing that people can be connected by birds
