Fallen Spruce Cones are great for holiday crafts t

Fallen Spruce Cones are great for holiday crafts this time of year, but they're also an important food source for many wildlife species! 🎄 Squirrels eat and cache spruce cones, and birds like Pine & Evening Grosbeaks, Crossbills, Woodpeckers and more rely heavily on cone seeds to get through the long winter months. 🐦❄ #whitespruce #winter #wildbirdsunlimited #winterbirding #adventure #barrieontario #bbcearth #birding #birdlife #birdlover #birdphotography #birds #birdsofinstagram #birdsonearth #birdwatching #canoncanada #canada #conservation #conservationeducation #explore #exploreontario #getoutside #mydiscoverycanada #nature #ontarionature #sharecangeo #shareyourweather

The birds are so thankful to have their heated bird bath from @wbubarrie @wbunewmarket in the cold weather! ❄ And so am I because it means getting to watch them huddle around for a drink of fresh water all year round. Adding a heated bird bath to your yard can also attract some pretty unique species who wouldn't typically visit feeders like waxwings and some birds of prey. 🐦

Mare & foal Burchell's Zebras in South Africa 🦓

Mare & foal Burchell's Zebras in South Africa 🦓 Burchell's Zebra foals are born after a gestation period of 360-390 days, and weigh between 30-35kg. Foals are weaned from their mothers at around 11 months of age, and transition to a diet of mostly grasses. 🌿#burchellszebra #southafrica #travel #adventure #barrieontario #bbcearth #birding #birdlife #birdlover #birdphotography #birds #birdsofinstagram #birdsonearth #birdwatching #canoncanada #canada #conservation #conservationeducation #explore #exploreontario #getoutside #mydiscoverycanada #nature #ontarionature #sharecangeo #shareyourweather

These eggs were abandoned in a nesting box in my yard by Red-breasted Nuthatches. Unfortunate that they weren't able to incubate for some reason, but it did give me a unique view of the eggs and nest inside the box. As you can see, Red-breasted Nuthatch eggs are very small in size (less than 2cm long) and whiteish with reddish-brown spotting. Average clutch size ranges from 4-7 eggs and incubation lasts about 12 days. Hatchlings are fed insects and leave the nest after 18-21 days. 🐦🥚

Sun shining on a blanket of freshly fallen snow across Algonquin Park ❄ Highly recommend traveling to Algonquin Provincial Park in the winter time to take in the beautiful sights of the park and winter wildlife such as Gray Jays, Crossbills, and mischievous Pine Martens. ❄

I’ve been enjoying all the photos of rare and exciting birds in Ontario on my feed. I’m a little late to the party 🎉 with these photos, but I wanted to share my captures of the #VariegatedFlycatcher that thrilled many birders this week. It hasn’t been spotted since Tuesday 🤞it made its way south again. Pretty exciting find! #rarebirds #chasingbirds #ontariobirding #twitching #excitingfinds 🐦

Sometimes it's a bird eat bird world. 🤷🏻‍♀️🐦 While many birds of prey prefer to feed on mammals like voles & mice, the diet of a Cooper's Hawk is made up mostly of medium to larger sized birds such as starlings, doves, robins, and grouse. This is why Cooper's Hawks may choose to stake out backyard bird feeding stations. If you have a hawk hanging around, they will likely move on in a day or two, but if they are persistent you may want to consider removing your feeders for a little while to encourage them to find another hunting zone. 😉
