A Lesson From a Fallen Star: How a Warbler Taught Me to Give Back

February 2, 2021/in Guest Post/by FLAP Canada

By Michal Zhitomirsky “It’s like Pokémon GO, but in real life!” The above is my standard attempt to explain my enthusiasm for bird watching to my loved ones, who typically respond with a polite smile and vacant eyes.

Choosing Coffee That Supports Bird Conservation

December 6, 2020/in News, Take Action/by Lisa Horn

Ah, coffee. Many of us can’t get through our day without a cup (or three).
