National exposure

 

Well, after the interviews on CTV and Global, I was contacted by CBC for a digital article, a radio interview and a TV interview on The National.

The digital article is here.

The short radio interview (at the 25:40 mark) is here.

The TV interview (2 minute story) is here.

I am so glad that the issue of bird collisions is getting a lot of attention both here in Canada and in the United States.

Bathing Beauties

Probably due to weather conditions and strong southerly winds, many of the migrating warblers moved into the Montreal area in May and stayed longer than usual.  Large numbers stopped over in the Botanical Gardens to rest, bathe and feed.

Luckily for me, I found a secluded area with a small stream which attracted quite a variety of bathers.  

Here is a selection of some of the residents and visitors (warblers) who frequented the stream and gave me the opportunity to witness their enjoyment of a cool bath!
