Several priorities with deadlines took a lot of my time this month. So I had to think a little outside the box to come up with five photos for this edition of the Photo Blogging Challenge.

With spring migratory season well underway, it follows that this edition of Nearby Nature Project features a lot of bird photographs. I also touch on the start of the 2024 gardening season and the recently announced ban on private water craft in some of Canada's National Parks.

This instalment of the Nearby Nature Project touches on policy-making as a means to address biodiversity loss and garden "pests." I also share some birdwatching highlights, gardening successes and some cute backyard visitors.
