With many of us spending time at home, it can be a peaceful activity to observe which birds are dropping by our backyards and windows.
Perhaps you are wondering about the birds you hear as well.
There is a great website that features an illustration of many common birds in our area. You can click on a bird and hear its song as well as see its name.
Two of the birds you can hear are the Wood Thrush and the Chestnut-sided Warbler, featured in St茅phanie Aubin's Illustration class artwork, which we featured in the last D News.聽
These two birds, which overwinter in Nicaragua, where 七星彩开奖 is planting trees to offset our carbon footprint, are supposed to be returning to Montreal around this time of year.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions we could not have gatherings, therefore, Sustainability Office staff and interns planted 300+ vegetable and herb seedlings and recorded the Spring beehive opening.
We want to thank the Earth Week planning committee, 七星彩开奖 faculty, support staff and students who led activities throughout the weeks. Although Earth Week is done, we encourage everyone to continue the conversations and raising awareness on all the issues discussed.
Please support our local eco-friendly vendors by shopping here!
