On Saturday, we joined the Guides for a fun, hands-on bird learning morning! ❄️🦉With the trails too icy to trek, we brought the adventure indoors turning it into a cozy day of games, learning, and bird-themed fun.Here’s what we got up to:🔹 Played bird-themed games.🔹 Practiced using binoculars and explored different types of scopes.🔹 Learned the difference between bird songs and calls, and listened to examples.🔹 Tried making our own bird calls. (some were surprisingly impressive!)🔹 Discovered different types of bird flight, like flapping, soaring, and gliding.This program is part of our Birding Without Barriers program, supported by NatureHood, a @naturecanada_ initiative.#BirdsOfNL #NLNature #Birding #BirdWatchers #ExploreNL #NatureLovers #AtlanticCanada #BirdNerd #NatureFacts #BirdEducation #ConservationCanada ...

Happy #birdfactfridayHere are some simple ways you can create a bird friendly backyard!All these natural materials have two things in common, they all provide a habitat and a food source. Small changes can make a big difference for local birds!✨ Minimize non-native grass lawns by planting native plants like White Meadowsweet (Spiraea alba var. latifolia) and Rough-Stemmed Goldenrod (Solidago rugosa). These offer shelter, nesting material, and nutritious seeds. Leaving plants gone to seed as noted in the image help provide a food source and nesting materials. 🌳 Keep dead standing trees when safe! Snags are valuable nesting sites and rich food sources.🍂 Leave leaf litter + twig piles, especially in winter. They create cozy hideaways for birds and support the insects they rely on.Make your backyard a haven for wildlife one natural choice at a time! 🌱🐦This media is part of our Birding Without Barriers program, supported by NatureHood, a Nature Canada initiative.#birdsofnl #nlnature #birding #birdwatchers #ExploreNL #naturelovers #AtlanticCanada #birdnerd #NatureFacts #birdeducation #conservationcanada ...
