Your welcome Vero. I loved the production especially the 3 1/2 years it took to complete the paintings.\

Thank you so much for sharing this!? Size reduced to send in mail so images are not as sharp as they could be. Enjoy!

Full agree .. however on the principle of always trying to start the week off on a positive note ( challenging as that may be in the conservation realm), I was gratified to see this recent article in Birdwatching. ?

I first became interested in this species when I came across the book “Moonbird” in the library, detailing the epic migrations of one banded Red Knot over many years. Well worth a read.?

Some of what we know about climate change and birds
Interesting article on birds and climate change, including some ways we can help and encourage others too (e.g., local governments, businesses, developers):

?Interesting that the Port of Vancouver’s dockworkers’ union has come out against the proposed expansion of the Roberts Bank terminal in Delta.
Environment Canada has already identified the expected negative environment impact it would have, notably on Western Sandpipers & other shorebirds (SFU ’biofilm’ study refers).?

Great news from Feather Friendly - they have finally introduced their new Pro-DIY window covering product. The previous product was single strips of dots which I found was a fiddle to install especially on larger windows – the new product allows you to effectively install 5 rows of markers at a time which will definitely make installation a lot easier and less time consuming. ? Please see their press release below and the attachment and share on your SM platforms. Let’s all be part of the solution and reduce the 16 to 42 million birds killed by window strikes each year in Canada. ? Thanks - Derek ? Hello everyone, ? Just wanted to share about our new Pro DIY - Pro-DIY makes self-installs easier than ever for any medium sized project. Similar to a mini version of our commercial product, Pro-DIY easily achieves consistent spacing and has fantastic durability and longevity. Visit our website to find out more! ? Pro-DIY Solution – Great for projects over 75 sq. ft - Circular 6” wide roll pre-spaced at 1.75” x 1.75” in our Harmony pattern x 150ft long? – each roll covers 75 sq. ft
- Lay down five rows of markers at a time
- Product is manufactured to order, and we recommend installing within 2 months of receipt
- Product to be installed in 10°C / 50°F temps or higher
- Durability and Longevity – 10 years plus
