Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Green, any birds or backgrounds that have Green in them. Please enjoy this darling little fluffball of a Philadelphia Vireo in a Water Birch. Picture taken with an iphone in an old growth Balsam Poplar forest on the banks of the Bow River, AB. 060
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #Eating. This male Harlequin duck is snorkelling for tasty aquatic inverts in Yoho National Park's Lake O'Hara. One pic for feeding action, one for handsomeness. 0120
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlueWater, (birds surrounded by blue water). Here is a female Harlequin duck surrounded by the famous turquoise waters in the Lake O'Hara area. This was just up the mountain from Lake O'Hara towards Lake Oesa, in early July. 080
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I'd like to see those websites pass THIS!! 😼 030
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Special ballot on its way to Elections Alberta. I voted NO to the 9 and yes to remaining. I hope others join me in sending our racist premier and the seps a message. If you haven't requested your special ballot yet, you only have until Sep.25. Get crackin'! 😀 www.elections.ab.ca/request-a-sp... 033
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It was a fairly cold and drizzly day but I did a little birding on my lunch break and look who popped out to say hello! A little Philadelphia Vireo, who obligingly held still enough for me to get a half decent iphone shot. 031
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I'm going to get nailed for spamming soon, but it's not always apparent in replies that this has been shared, so here it is again. 132
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I saw this little Cottontail baby yesterday - making this a "rabbit rabbit" lucky sighting for September 1. He scooted down his little grass tunnel after obligingly waiting for me to take my picture. 000
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Glorious birding up at Lake O'Hara this week. Male AND female Harlequin ducks living their best lives in Canada's glorious alpine. Super high water and fast currents, so they were in their happy place. #birds 100
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 10/05/2026These babies are so wee. I was so worried that the relocation plus heavy machinery noise was going to result in mum fleeing, but came in this morning to very positive news. Mum found and tended babies. This is the video the rescue asked me to take this morning. Note the fleece? That's mama. 120
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Having a bit of Mountain Cottontail drama, but fingers crossed it's turning out ok. The construction crew at my workplace discovered that mama had dug a warren overnight, exactly where they had to excavate. We all teamed up to help and with guidance from an excellent rescue team, are relocating. 120
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 02/03/2026For today's #BirdoftheDay theme #FourorMore, I offer this family of Canada Geese grazing beside the Bow River in 2024 (and in the background, a Balsam Poplar tree caged -probably too late! - against beaver snacking) 061
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 09/02/2026From Assigned Male Comics. Her stuff is great. 010
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 08/02/2026I didn't see this on #SuperbOwl Sunday, but just last week, this beauty was right beside the path as I was leading 20-odd kidlets out on a nature walk. Not the greatest pic because I was wrangling kidlets who were 🤯 at seeing an actual owl, but it works with the theme. 011
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 02/02/2026At the ski hill today, I watched a couple of gorgeous-and-they-know-it ravens casually UNZIP the bags left on the storage rack and take a cheeky peek inside for snacks. I feel pretty confident that corvids are going to replace primates for planetary dominance in the not-so-distant future. 020
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 11/01/2026I turn 50 this week and I have decided to celebrate this by using this year to add 50 new bird species to my life list. I'm not planning any travelling this year, so this will be a challenge! Started off strong today with a Northern Shrike and Glaucous Gull. The Year of Bird Nerd Glory! 020
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Calgary showed up tonight for the rally for Trans Rights. It was great to see so many folks turn out. 0133
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 20/11/2025We need to show trans kids that our ghoul of a Premier and her party of bigots do not have support for this garbage. If you are in Calgary, please do your best to be at the rally tomorrow. 010
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 20/11/2025It would really be helpful to have a big turn out for this tomorrow. Not only will it show the govt that we give a damn about this issue, it will show trans kids that we give a damn. They could use a big showing of that right now. 143
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Agree completely. This is my favourite response ever to those choosing (hiding behind their privilege) to "not be political". 181
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 12/10/2025I nerdily looked it up to remind myself how to tell between the 3 main types and yes, this looks good for Thanksgiving. 010
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 07/10/2025Saw this today and I feel like it might be a contributing factor? 030
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Rally for public education in Edmonton. Please share these widely and show up, Alberta. 011
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 02/10/2025There are rallies for public education happening all over Alberta on Sunday. Albertans we need you to show up big for this. Here's the Lethbridge info: 000
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Hey Albertans, we need you to show up in big numbers for public education on Sunday. Bring all your friends. Please share this widely. 000
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Very proud of Alberta students today. They stood up against a bigoted, sexist, corrupt government and showed every adult in this province how it's done. This picture and message especially resonated with me. For shame, Danielle Smith. For shame, UCP. Unfit to lead. 03312
Pseudo-psarah 🇨🇦 @smarvsmith.bsky.social · 19/04/2025What a coincidence! So did I! Brought my withered, sagging bosom along, too. The girls and I voted for Not Pierre. Looking forward to seeing Corey Hogan flip Calgary Confed. 5385
