We’re excited to be participating in a Bird Friendly city event at the Edmonton Valley Zoo on Saturday March 8th! It’s a bird debate showdown moderated by local playwright Belinda Cornish , between awesome nature educator and amazing 🦉bird photographer Nature Nick Photography , WhiteMud Wayne 🦆 ( a human fountain of bird and forest knowledge) and none other than nature educator John Acorn! 🌲I’ve been team Boreal Chickadee the whole time but I think Nature Nick is converting me to team Magpie ! 🍃We will see how the debate goes down ! Also Mel will be showing off her new Magpie woodburning and other conservation focused artists will be there too. This is the final big push for the YEG City bird vote and we’re looking forward to an evening of supporting Bird conservation and bird community building ! 🦅🦬🌲 https://buildingourzoo.ticketspice.com/city-bird-debate-at-the-edmonton-valley-zoo

Happy New Year ! Pleased to chat with Ray Brown on my favourite Birding podcast Talkin’ Birds! Happy to be a Talkin’ Birds Ambassador . Listening to Ray’s show gets me through some of the quiet birding times of winter ❄️ I always enjoy the Mystery Bird segment. Mike O’Connor gives some great advice on a “gateway” birding activity and I always enjoy the audio Postcard segments! Love this show and hope you enjoy it too 🦅 Thanks for the shoutout on the Boreal Chickadees amd our birding events Ray! Happy birding 🌲

"Bird Friendly Edmonton and Bird Dreams need your help to choose the best resident bird species to represent the City — and celebrate Edmonton's urban wildlife and biodiversity! The first round of votes between the top 6 birds will end on December 31 with only the top 3 birds moving onto the next round of voting in the New Year. Make sure your favorite is in the top three!

Who is your favorite resident bird? The Blue Jay, Downy Woodpecker, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Black-billed Magpie, Boreal Chickadee, or the Northern Saw-whet Owl?" Proud to be part of Edmontons bird friendly city team! Our choice is in the photo above ! Who will you vote for ?
