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…
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…
Well, who do we have here? Actually, it’s one of my neighbours! Hello there and Happy 2021! Bring on the new year! I have to say that being out in nature and finding neat stuff was one of the things that kept me sane during 2020. But – I can’t…

What started out as my one day bird-finding marathon on May 4 turned into a week long odyssey of birding. Each year I devote one entire day to birdwatching – I line it up with the Global Big Day – where people all over the world go out one day…
Sure, we’re in the dead of winter. But don’t stay home sleeping. Take a winter walk. And if you’re anywhere near Presqu’ile Park in Brighton, so much the better. Take a late afternoon walk or a drive around the loop or near the beach, and you stand a good chance…
