#AtlanticPuffin

Encounter with an official pair of Atlantic Puffins, symbol for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, while on our way to visit some friends.

Even if the Atlantic Puffin has a large population with a wide range, this species declined rapidly resulting in it being rated as vulnerable by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).

What helps them is that colonies are mostly on islands, with no terrestrial predators.

In many countries/cities fireworks are banned for great reasons as well as for wildlife conservation.

#Fireworks

The issue with fireworks is that some people are not aware or simply just forget that fireworks have a huge negative affect on wildlife and even on domestic animals. Especially when living in the countryside. Our dogs for example get crazy, act completely irrational and even endanger themselves.

Fireworks greatly disturb wildlife around here, cause fear, stress and anxiety to poor animals. They panic, abandon their nests, burrows, logs, trees and flee their natural environment leaving their young behind without any chances to survive on their own. Also fireworks are always of course, initiated at night when birds can’t fly. Why can’t they fly? Because they just don’t see in the dark. So they’re panicking; flying around and don’t know where to land, get short of breath, hit trees or buildings, have heart attacks to finally die and fall down on the ground.

That is very, but very cruel.

It does not only happen in my countryside but also in cities everywhere around the World.

So before initiating fireworks people, please have a special attention of what’s living around you.

It happened before, it still happening and will happen again.

#WildernessNeedProtection

I’m not here to teach (or educate) anything to anyone but only as a reminder about the benefits of nature which, has is own limit. Wilderness cleans our air, filters our water and provides home for human as well as for wildlife.

So it is crucial for humanity, which is already to blame, to bring radical changes today before it’s entire extinction tomorrow.

That is my only intention here folks.

#NorthernRaven

Winter's not over around here yet and it looks like it will never end. So I decided to skip forward the rest of it by throwing back some interesting material sleeping in my personal computer's library until Spring immerge.

So this is a beautiful 3 months old female from the 2022 Raven's family that we named, Big-Sister. And Big-Sister had decided that day to grab a Squirrel leg from the road and bring it to lunch with us; warm thought.
