Field Naturalist @fieldnaturalist.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Typical British Columbia landscape. Devastating clearcuts surrounded by third-growth tree farms that have been drenched in herbicide before planting and never thinned. Completely sterilized and totally devoid of life. 040

Nothing but the finest materials for violet-green swallows. Firm yet forgiving grass box spring with pillow-top mattress of fine bird feathers. They left for Central America six weeks ago.

Field Naturalist @fieldnaturalist.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Not here to brag, but my personal nest box trail includes 48 meticulously designed and painstakingly handcrafted boxes made from red-cedar and yew. After a winter of researching and observing chestnut-backed chickadee ecology, I built 13 species-specific nest boxes. Off to check first one today. 140
