A small town girl from Nova Scotia, now living in the big city of Toronto. Thursday, May 14, 2015. CAPE MAY CAME TO US! Cape May Warbler - May 14th, 2015. And after Rob spotted a Nashville Warbler. In the backyard last May, we really got curious about what birds we miss stopping in during Spring Migration. I missed the Nashville Warbler last year, but tonight I lucked out! We are thrilled that our Baltimore .

Saturday, March 17, 2018. My first stop on this crisp but clear day was Rondeau Park. I first checked out the campground where it was relatively quiet. I did come across one of the wintering Yellow-rumped Warblers. I also walked south point trail at the end of Lakeshore Road. The lake was rather quiet today. Certainly too far for a photo as well. On my way out of t.

A photo blog of birds and wildlife in Southern Ontario from my backyard and beyond. Sunday, June 14, 2015. So I wandered the backyard and the gardens in the church. Baltimore Oriole in Lynden Tree blossoms.

I think I just changed from someone whose favourite season is summer to one whose most beloved season is autumn. As I round the pond and head into the woods, I notice the tracks of a small deer in the mud. From the angle I can tell the animal emerged from the overgrowth to drink from the pond, probably at dusk last evening. Deer and pheasant live here. As Within, So Without.

Sunday, August 9, 2015. BMW Birding on Mount Bierstadt. I visited my best friend in Colorado last week and we had a blast of a time.

Lions and tigers and bears. OH MY! With all due respect to Dorothy on the Wizard of Oz, this is not Kansas, and here at Rondeau there are lions and tigers and bears also. and rattlesnakes, too! First, the lions.

Bird Year List - 2015. Sunday, June 21, 2015. Quick Stint at Long Point. Obviously my promise to write every week failed epically.

A flock of geese leave their lake and take wing, turning to poems in the sky. August always seems to come suddenly! There you are, enjoying the summer when suddenly you notice that the days are getting a little shorter and birds are on the move again. Returning to Wildwood we are still seeing Herons and Kingbirds, Swallows and Kingfishers. But nearby at Harrington, the shorebirds have been arriving along with Great Egrets.
