The Wilds of Winter

It’s 2021 and we are still in the middle of a pandemic.  The good news is that there is nothing stopping me from going outside and wandering around by myself to see what wildlife I can find.  Often there are more misses than hits – but I know the only…

Short Eared Owls on Amherst Island

Here’s a little victory- when I masked up and stuck my hand out the window of my car to pay the $9.00 fee for the Amherst Island Ferry passage the ferry man said it wasn’t necessary because of covid. Actually he just pointed to his mask and shook his head,…

2020 Wanderings – Late May

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…

Into the Woods

Hi there!  I hope you are hanging in there and that you and your loved ones are safe and healthy.   I have been spending a lot of time in the woods, listening and watching.  It’s good for the soul. It is spring, and despite the human news, the natural…

Foxes in the Forest

This May, I found two fox dens in the forest near my home. They are near places I walk by almost every day, protected and hidden. I went back to the first den with my camera and sat way up on the hill above it for a little bit one…
