I don't camp as much as I once did, but it was nice to head north for a few days of peace and quiet. The chosen destination: Halfway Lake Provincial Park located about an hour north of Sudbury Ontario. Shortly after arrival at the park, a few of the locals could be heard making noise....

What a great Easter holiday! Yesterday's outing was great and today's trip to Sam Smith just added to an already great weekend. At Sam Smith today the weather was great (unseasonably warm), and the birds were pleased about it. The birding season is not yet at a high point, but it didn't make the day... Continue Reading →
It was great to see a large number of deer grazing the Nanticoke powerplant property, but at the end of the day, it was all the hawks and other birds of prey that were the highlight of the day. Down along the shoreline, Eagles can often be found. Today a juvenile Bald Eagle was seen... Continue Reading →
If you live in Ontario, you've likely figured out that when it comes to frigid winter temperatures, you basically have two choices: 1. Stay warm & lazy indoors or 2. Bundle up and get out there. Today, urged on by cabin fever, I chose to brave the cold and enjoy the great outdoors! The temperatures... Continue Reading →
Today a trip was made to the shores of Lake Erie, specifically Haldimand County. The goal was to see if any Bald Eagles were around and the day did not disappoint! The weather was overcast for most of the day, making long lens photography fairly challenging, but overall it was time well spent. Along the... Continue Reading →

Changing weather, poor light, or just bad choice of locations can leave me with nothing more than some fresh air & exercise, and outings like this are more frequent than you'd guess. Luckily, every so often a day turns out far more rewarding than I expect... Continue Reading →
Today three locations were visited, the plan was a quick scouting trip to see what was shaking in a few places. The whole journey took a few hours, what was seen was well worth the trip. Songbirds were the first to appear, and things were otherwise very quiet. Some time later a hawk was heard... Continue Reading →
Who knew birding could be so dangerous? The drive north on highway 400 today left me jolted, and amazed at how oblivious people are to danger. Even with full sun and relatively clear roads, a mini van lost control and did a 180 degree spin two car lengths ahead of me, slamming into the guardrail.... Continue Reading →
The summer was a great time for photography. Many warm days were spent hiking and finding new areas to see all kinds of nature. I'm now realizing how easy it is to take the warm weather for granted. Sub-zero temperatures today remind me of last winter, which included many days spent outside, camera in my... Continue Reading →
