“I used to tell people that burrowing owl populations in B.C. are basically on life support. If it weren’t for programs like the one at Upper Nicola … we wouldn’t have any owls in B.C.”

Upper Nicola program a ‘gold standard’ in effort to save B.C.’s burrowing owls

A decade after the first burrowing owls were released onto its reserve lands, the Upper Nicola Band is marking what leaders and partners describe as a rare conservation success in a province where the species remains on the brink.On April 22, community members, knowledge keepers, and conservation partners gathered on the Douglas Lake reserve to release six more captive-raised burrowing owls as part of an ongoing recovery effort that has quietly become one of the most productive breeding sites for the species in British Columbia.

Warming climate mean some N.B. birds could find new homes, while other species arrive
A new report says warming temperatures could lead to the departure and arrival of some bird species in New Brunswick. Climate Central, a U.S. nonprofit research organization, found that 44 species in the province are at risk if the planet warms to 3 C above pre-industrial temperatures.

The report identified impacts to #speciesAtRisk, risks of #contamination of surface- and #groundwater, risks of #airpollution, and that the project did not properly consider #economicRisks in its evaluation (which may be significant for the agri-food sector in our region), while overstating royalty payments. There was no cost evaluation for the long-term treatment of #water (long after the coal mine would be closed) and dubious commitments for #restoration after #mine closure.

Evening grosbeaks at one of our feeders. They are a species at risk. We regularly have >20 at a time with more in the surrounding trees. Our property is ideal for overwintering and migrating birds, as it is surrounded by mixed woods, and has an old unsprayed orchard, small ponds, a pollinator-friendly garden, and humans who love them and let them be.
