Snowy Owl

I was most fortunate on my first trip out this winter in search of Snowy Owls. To find this female, perched atop of a tree, along a concession road here in Waterloo Region, Ontario. I have made many a trip without seeing anything, so I hope that my luck holds out for the next venture... not likely, but hopefully.

Sharp-shinned Hawk

This is the second time a Sharp-shinned Hawk has moved in on the woodlot bird feeder site that I maintain here, just outside of Cambridge Ontario. All birds, and squirrels scattered instantly, when it swooped in for an attempt.

Hairy Woodpecker

I have always found it a challenge telling the difference between the Hairy, and Downy Woodpeckers. The most common feature to look for is the size of the beak. Hairy have a much longer beak than the Downy and tend to be a bit larger overall. The female Hairy, like the Downy female, lack the red mark on the nape of the head, seen on the males.

The ocean comes to life

Every year on the west coast the herring spawn. It turns the water aqua blue and attracts animals from all over to feast.

River otters

Occasionally while I’m waiting for bears or other animals, I get a visit from the playful river otters
