One of my favourite #Himalayan birds. The scientific name 'Niltava sundara' does justice to beauty of the bird.❤️

Male and female Muslin Moth. Males are grey and are nocturnal, females are white and fly by day, but both have the same crazy hair! #MothsMatter

Have you ever heard of #Motus? It’s a wildlife tracking system that lets us study the movement of small #birds, mammals and even some insects. Learn more about how we use it to tag and study Dunlin in the #FraserRiverEstuary Key Biodiversity Area here: youtu.be/rw3BUvXRztQ

The local Pacific Loons are really Pacific by now. The placid lakes around Anchorage #Alaska are icebound so now the loons are out on the wind tossed ocean until spring.
