Return to the Nest

I was able to get out for a bit to see the eaglets today. The first sighting of the season. The weather this April is unpredictable, sun one minute, rain the next...But I managed to miss the downpour. From a distance, high above the nest, I watched mama keeping their chicks safe and warm, with frequent feedings keeping the little ones growing strong. Dad was patrolling the area.

Just Ears and Curiosity

Just ears and curiosity, tuned into every sound, every shift in the air, and learning the world one pause at a time. There is always something to observe. The kit stood quietly, turning its attention from moment to moment, taking everything in as the world unfolded around it.

Mom and dad stay close to the kits, constantly shifting between alertness and calm care, one moment guiding, the next allowing space, with small bursts of play woven into the routine. There’s a natural ease in how they move together, checking in, responding, and keeping the young close without ever breaking that quiet rhythm of family. They constantly showed deep affection and love as a family.

Incredible!

What an amazing photo! --- Timestamp: 2026-04-19T21:26:22.003Z Page: https://photoclub.canadiangeographic.ca/feedback User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Splash of Leucism

Genetic mutation (leucism) in an American Robin. While everyone’s spotting robins… here’s one you don’t see every day. Locals are happy.

Legally Leucistic

Have you ever seen a blonde groundhog? If you haven’t, there’s a reason for that: it’s because they’re rare! If you pay attention, groundhogs are usually dark brown in colouring. The blonde or white coloring typically happens due to leucism (partial pigmentation loss, often with dark eyes). These lighter-coloured groundhogs are sometimes called blonde woodchucks. This groundhog was found in the west end of Ottawa last week. And if you look closely, you can see woodchuck here has a little something in between in its teeth.
