Thumbs up for keeping our windows safe for birds! Thumbs up for keeping our windows safe for birds! 👍 Here's Alysha Henry, our Stewardship Assistant, putting up dots on our windows at the office so they are more visible to birds. This helps reduce the chances of them striking the window and injuring themselves. What do you do to help our feathered friends?
Did you know...❄️🌨 One of the determining Did you know...❄️🌨 One of the determining factors in the shape of individual snowflakes is the air temperature around it. The study of flakes has identified that long, thin needle-like ice crystals form at around -2 C (28 F), while a lower temperature of -5 C (23 F) will lead to very flat plate-like crystals. Further changes in temperature as the snowflake falls determines different shapes of the six arms or dendritic structure of the crystal.

What did reptile monitors, Debbie & Morah, spot at What did reptile monitors, Debbie & Morah, spot at Alexander Hope Smith NR back in May?! This small, stocky raptor with black-and-white bands on the tail, is a bird of the forest interior and can be hard to see during the nesting season. Its call is a piercing, two-parted whistle. Any ideas? 🦅 📸 M. Fenning, T. Rowland #CouchConserv #ProtectNature #WildlifeWednesday
Blue-spotted salamanders are found in a wide varie Blue-spotted salamanders are found in a wide variety of woodland habitats (deciduous, coniferous or mixed forests), as well as swamps. Typically, these salamanders spend their lives on the forest floor, often living underground in burrows. They breed in permanent swamps or temporary ponds, marshes or even roadside ditches, and overwinter underground in the forest. Breeding occurs in the early spring in woodland ponds or swamps. Females can lay up to 200 eggs, either singly or in loose clumps, that are attached to underwater vegetation. The eggs hatch three to four weeks later, and the larvae transform into adult salamanders by midsummer. Outside of the breeding season, adults are terrestrial carnivores, eating a large variety of insects and other invertebrates, including spiders and worms. 📸 @tobypcr #CouchConserv #BluespottedSalamander #Salamander #ProtectNature #Ontario #WildlifeWednesday
