Least Bittern
Unbelievably hard to find, it can be right in front of you yet invisible, then once you see it, you can’t miss it, but don’t dare take your eyes off of it, because it’s just as hard to find the second and third time even tho it’s hardly...

These Grackles arrived from the south to the ice storm and starving hungry. I bought a bag of corn for them, they ate and ate. Here you can see the beautiful breeding plumage of the...
Muskrat
This hungry little fellow was out right before the ice storm hit, he was so hungry nibbling on a single piece of grass he didn’t care that I walked up and took a photo, in a few months they will be not so hungry and far more...

Mink, a playful little fellow!
I was looking for Snowy Owls and found this little fellow instead, actually I have seen 4 this week on different country roads, all out of range until today. I had no idea that Mink swim for fish and are very good divers, they are more like Otters than I thought. Then I was sad to think anyone would cage such a playful animal on fur farms that obviously has tons of energy and intelligence. Happy to get to know a bit more about Mink. ...
Horned Larks
On a mild March day, these birds were picking up gravel and some grain dropped by a grain truck at the sides of the roads....
Purple Finch
In the middle of all the sparrows was this brightly coloured little bird, flocking to the extra feed I put out during the ice storm to get a welcome snack. You can see the ice pellets on it’s...

Crows of a different colour!
Saw three, captured two with my camera… driving along Grey Road 13 north of Heathcoate. I know there was one for several years on this stretch of road, and now there are three that I have seen. Frequently they are mistaken for...
Pressure Test at Blue Mountain
Every fall the ski resorts pressure test the snow making systems and turn all the guns on full blast misting the slopes with a fine spray of water. If any leaks developed under the high pressure of the pumps required to make snow during colder temperatures it can be more easily welded before the snow arrives. ...
