Killdeer Chick “hiding on the road”
Driving along a Grey County road we spotted these three tiny Killdeer chicks, two fled for the ditch and one decided to blend with the road, so of course we had to stop and take a photo.

Once I knew where to look for these little gems … it occurred to me to investigate the back of my farm, so off I went a little ways along Johnston’s Side Road and low and behold there in the wetland, was a flock of Yellow Warblers.
Driving along the Lower Valley Road in the Beaver Valley … this little bird was rummaging around close to the ground and singing load and clear: witch-i-ty witch-i-ty witch-i-ty
This fellow was most indignant when I almost backed into him while taking a photo of another bird, his head popped up as if to say “excuse me but thats close enough”. I was caught off guard, however I did mange to take a photo as I retreated.
Just got sent a photo of a magnificent Snowy Owl photo custom ordered to fit a 40×21 inch space. It sure looks great with the wood grain adding to the look… Thanks to Sandy for sending the pic of a pic!
120,000 people have signed a list nominating the Red-tail as Canada’s national bird, interesting!
