In Ontario right now and throughout the world in what will clearly be an historic time, we are being urged to 'stay home' and practice 'social distancing', a term we never faced in our lifetime but is clearly now part of our collective vocabulary. I'm not going to the cottage, I'm not going to any... Continue Reading →
Fellow bird fans will likely have experienced this kind of adventure. The camera gear is double-checked and ready, a new spot has been chosen to visit, and a lot of research has been done into the kind of territory it is, the habitat and features selected carefully. On this trip, I was determined to scour... Continue Reading →
Today on the way farther north I was so excited given the sunny weather and warmer temperatures, to take a look around in Simcoe County for owls. Some solid efforts at looking turned out to be well worth the time, as we found 2 Snowies during our travels. To find these beauties you need to... Continue Reading →
During a warmer than seasonable Sunday in December, it was high time to get out for a local hike. Of course my go-to spot for this is along the Etobicoke Creek. I often skip bringing the camera and just enjoy what I see along the way, but I had been reading some advanced photography tips... Continue Reading →
When I find a good productive place to explore, I find myself returning over and over, each time looking in a different area. This weekend, the sun was shining early on Sunday, so off I went. The destination was the Humber Arboretum, where I was pretty sure I'd find a Saw-Whet owl (and sure enough... Continue Reading →

As it turned out the sun came out, and a great day was have following Great Horned Owls around. The Humber Arboretum has proven to be an excellent place for... Continue Reading →
Today I had a nice and also lucky outing at Guelph Aboretum. I've read reports the past few weeks about a Barred Owl being spotted in the area and after failing to locate one in another park after at least 5 visits, I thought I'd try Guelph today. A number of birder/photographers were walking around... Continue Reading →
Today with the unseasonable 10 degree temperature, a trip was needed to take advantage of the weather. Mountsberg Conservation Area in Halton was the destination, the target was birds of prey. Shortly after arriving, we ran into one of the staff taking a gorgeous Gyrfalcon for a training session with people in the outdoors. This... Continue Reading →
Last weekend, I had a few excellent trips to the Humber Arboretum. I've somehow never ended up there during the spring or summer and I definitely plan on it this coming spring, but I do manage to go during the winter. The past few visits to the arboretum, I've seen a wide range of smaller... Continue Reading →
This post is from last weekend, when I had yet another excellent outing at Tiny Marsh. If you follow this blog you know I love heading over to Tiny Marsh in Tiny Township. I visit the marsh in every season but spring is by far the most exciting time to go. Even before you see... Continue Reading →
