Red Winged
Garter snake
When I go birding, there are always times when to watch your step as wildlife comes in many forms and is often where it’s least expected. This one was at Tiny Marsh.
Killdeer in Bruce County
Sandhill Cranes breeding pair
This pair of Sandhills have nested at my friends cottage for years, I went for a stroll with them along the shallow lake shore, as long as I kept my business they didn’t mind one bit. Loved it, a great way to enjoy the morning sun an a hot coffee.
The majestic Egret
Coot
Yep there is really such a thing as a Coot … I met a nice man on a peer who was fishing … he was pretty sure a Coot just meant a “stupid bird or person” he couldn’t believe that there really is such a thing. We learn something new everyday.
Rock Dove
also known as simply … a Pigeon
Bald Eagle
