Le Bruant noir et blanc est un spectaculaire passereau des prairies du Canada et des États-Unis. Le mâle arbore un plumage noir d’encre ponctué de bandes blanches éclatantes sur les tectrices des ailes. La femelle a une livrée brun grisâtre avec des rayures brunes et ses bandes blanches sont plus petites.
The grasslands of the Canadian Prairies are a world of weird and wonderful birds. However, the habitat that these birds depend on are one of the most threatened and under-protected biomes on the planet. To address this challenge, Birds Canada has been working to develop the Bird-friendliness Index (BFI).
Behind the scenes, Birds Canada’s SwiftWatch programs are working with municipalities across provinces to find a solution for the rapid loss of chimneys used by Chimney Swifts – a Threatened Species in Canada.
This spring, Birds Canada BC staff and volunteers are gearing up to survey Long-billed Curlews. The Long-billed Curlew is one of the first birds to arrive in Canada each spring.
