Hi! I hope you are enjoying the first signs of spring. Today I heard the first Red Winged Blackbirds calling, and the Robins have come back as well. That being said, this post will contain only owls. Barred Owls, to be precise. These are all photos I have taken by…
Hi there ! I have more trail camera action to share with you. This time it is from the Lone Pine Marsh property, north of Brighton. I have been the property steward for the past two years for the Lone Pine Marsh, which means I visit there once…
Hi there! Hope you are doing well as we navigate through this long Covid winter. Funny enough, grocery shopping has become the big highlight of the week, for more reasons than one. We have some beautiful visitors from the north, right in the Sobey’s parking lot on Main…

In the middle of May this year, I spent a few evenings standing on a dock overlooking Brighton Bay. As the sun set, I was serenaded with weird and spooky sounds from the marsh. Most of them came from these funny little birds: Pied Billed Grebes! Here’s a link to…
Hi again! Here’s more of my wandering around in 2020. May is when the natural world really comes alive, and is one of my favourite months of the year. I went on my annual birding marathon in May – more on that below! These first 5 photos are from…
