This post will show case some of the bird life I have seen in this habitat so far! We will start with the Heron family. I had a ravineContinue reading “The Beautiful Swamp”

This post will be more pictures than text, so please enjoy viewing! Red-breasted Merganser’s do an entertaining dance with cute little calls to accompany. The littleContinue reading “Goodbye Winter!”
Surviving Winter
Winter is hard. Winter in Canada is hard. Winter in Canada during a global pandemic is hard! What helped you through the cold months? I know they aren’t over yet – March is untrustworthy! In my previous post I talked about my obsession with the Snowy Owl that was perched at the docks near myContinue reading “Surviving Winter”
My Snowy Owl Obsession
The snowy owl has been a regular feature on my blog- when I post about birds. Since December, this female owl was regularly seen perched in the middle of the docks, where she was safe. I wanted to see her do more than sitting on the docks, and this meant I had to go atContinue reading “My Snowy Owl Obsession”
Winter Visitors
Another post with more of my snaps from the past week or so. I saw some new species and a few incredible scenes. Enjoy viewing! The Snowy Owl has been at the docks every day over the past week.

Mallard Ducks were not meant to dive, but this one still tried! Sometimes the water on the Lake seems asContinue reading “Divers, Paddlers and Others”
Buffleheads and Friends
A buoyant, large-headed duck that abruptly vanishes and resurfaces as it feeds, the tiny Bufflehead spends winters bobbing in bays, estuaries, reservoirs, and lakes. Males are striking black-and white from a distance. A closer look at the head shows glossy green and purple setting off the striking white patch. Females are a subdued gray-brown withContinue reading “Buffleheads and Friends”
Autumn Snaps
I’ve been discovering a lot of local wildlife, specifically birds! I live in an area where many birds pass through while migrating, I’ve seen some species I never even knew existed! It’s been pretty amazing! I haven’t taken my camera with me on all of my excursions, but the times I have, I’ve always seenContinue reading “Autumn Snaps”
What am I doing?
Have you ever felt like one of those people on those hoarding shows? Just collecting an item, that you really have no use for. You keep adding to this collection, until one day, you’re drowning in paper, or plastic bottles or figurines – whatever it is. That’s how I felt with my photography images. OverContinue reading “What am I doing?”
