The white-eye family includes about 100 species, but they’re mostly tropical, and none live anywhere near here.

From Canada’s Madeline Schizas’ graceful skating performance in the women’s short program at the Figure Skating World Championships, in Montpellier, France, to Pope Francis’ special prayer for Ukraine, and peace, amid the devastation of the Russian war, to the beauty of spring as a Japanese white-eye bird drinks the nectar of a cherry blossom in Tokyo, this photo gallery highlights some of the most compelling images from around the world made or published by The Associated Press in the past week.

In 2011, several residents of Wardsville, Ontario, who were planning a quilt trail in commemoration of the War of 1812 approached Leslee White-Eye, a Chippewas of the Thames First Nation member and community organizer, about having an Indigenous sister trail on the nearby Chippewas of the Thames reserve.

Ms. White-Eye brought the idea to a group of Indigenous quilters.
