This month I've thought about potential effects on nearby nature due to Calgary's water emergency. Also, it's been an okay month for birding, a good month for bear sightings and the start of wildflower season!
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.
Autumn is my favorite time of the year. It's garden harvest time, the deciduous trees put on a colorful show and birds are migrating. What a wonderful time to explore nearby Nature.
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.
