Young but mighty. 🦅

This juvenile Bald Eagle may not have its famous white head and tail yet, but it's well on its way. Bald Eagles spend their first 4–5 years with mottled brown feathers before gradually developing the striking adult plumage they're known for.

We're midway through Matching for Monitoring! 💧

We're at the midpoint of our summer campaign to raise $12,500 for year-round water quality monitoring at Beaver Lake and Lost Lagoon.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the campaign so far! 💙

And there's still time to double your impact! Thanks to our Board of Directors, every donation is matched up to $12,500.

You never know what you'll see in the underbrush around Beaver Lake🌿

This fledgling Song Sparrow may be out of the nest, but it’s not quite ready to fend for itself. Tucked away in the shrubbery, it waits patiently as its parent brings it a meal.

Fledglings often stay close to cover while their parents continue to feed and protect them as they learn the skills they’ll need to become independent.

A busy nest box! 🐥

This Tree Swallow was spotted delivering a meal to its hungry young, who are just peeking out from one of the new nest boxes we installed this spring.

You may have noticed that the boxes have some new features this season; white paint, heat shield panels, and some ventilation holes. These details all help keep the interior cooler during these hot summer months, creating a more comfortable space for nesting birds.

It’s always exciting to see the nest boxes being put to good use!

When you’re the biggest beaver in the neighbourhood, you get to set the boundaries! 🦫🦝

During last week’s Beaver Lake is Awake tour, our group got a front-row view of a beaver swimming up to send a raccoon scrambling away from the water’s edge. Just another evening of wildlife drama at Beaver Lake! ✨

This tour runs every Wednesday until the end of September, come join us: https://stanleyparkecology.ca/events/

On July 15 we gathered for our Annual General Meeting and celebrated a few extraordinary Stanley Park Ecology board members. 💚

This year, our inaugural Mother Tree recognition plaques were presented to John Gray, our Vice-Chair, in recognition of 29 years of service on the Board, and Judy Hoang, who served as Treasurer for 10 years. The awards were presented by Board Secretary Tom McIllfaterick.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate another year of conservation, education, and community with Stanley Park Ecology! 🌲

Tiny but full of personality! 💛

This adorable Golden-crowned Kinglet was recently spotted flitting through the trees at Beaver Lake. Weighing just a few grams, these energetic little birds are constantly on the move as they search for insects among the branches.

Have you ever spotted one in Stanley Park? 🌲🐦
