    The Leduc Naturalist: Migration isn't just for the birds (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Migrations in North America bring to mind millions of birds, especially geese, swans, cranes, pelicans and ducks, all building up strength and eventually heading south to find their major traditional flyways, beginning in late August and weather dependent, into November. Not every migratory species ends up going, and geese that can find open water all winter will often stay, and even the American robin will linger in solitary number if warm shelter can be found in buildings or within utility app

    The Leduc Naturalist: Late-season wildfire preparation (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    While most types of wildfire fuel reduction happen in the spring and summer, it is well-advised to undertake actions into September and October, especially in a year where a strong El Nino weather situation is settling in for a significant time period.I never recommend burning programmes into the fall, as these eliminate both vegetative cover for upland birds and small mammals, as well as grazing forage for livestock and wild ungulates. I do, however recommend general clean-ups around buildings

    The Leduc Naturalist: Planting trees for trees' sake (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It is totally en vogue for environmental groups and municipal communities to pick an arbour day (or any other event) to head out and plant groves or scattered plantings of trees. After all, trees help to mitigate carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, provide shelter, hold winter snow and provide habitat (don’t they?). Any planting must be better than no action at all.Another example of well-meaning but uninformed endeavour, there is more to it than that. First of all, what is the goal of planting? A

    The Leduc Naturalist: Reflection on climate change (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Anyone that attended school is aware of some basic heat dynamics. Black absorbs solar radiation and white or silver reflects it. We often apply this scientific knowledge in the selection of clothing and the colours we choose for equipment and buildings. As wise as we have become in rudimentary application, we seldom give thought as to how this works on a planetary scale.If you’re interested in historical extinction events and recent natural phenomenon, the effects of ash and other particulates i

    New tech designed to make Christmas Bird Count easier (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It may seem a little odd (or even insane) to discuss the upcoming Christmas Bird Count in the middle of summer, but if it serves to cool someone down, all the better. Many people have been hard at work at Audubon for months, and with the assistance of Birds Canada and many of us compilers, to infuse new life and easy-of-use software and processes into the system. New advertising, navigable online processes, and access to graphs, maps, training, and easier sign-up are in the pipe to be rolled out
