Watching the Toronto news yesterday, I noticed a lot of time was devoted to covering the first blast of winter we received in the city. Viewer submitted YouTube videos were shown, first hand eyewitness accounts were shared, and who knows, they may even have had forensic reports on the matter, I don't know for sure,...

Yesterday I headed into Tiny Marsh all excited about what feathered friends I may find. It's always something different at the marsh and this trip was no exception. The birds were few & far between. The nesting Osprey and their young were still there, and I accidentally flushed countless wood ducks and a few herons.... Continue Reading →
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....

This morning I was planning to run errands, but then I remembered the First Annual Yorkville Exotic Car show was on. There's not much that would deter me from going to see Porsches and Ferraris spanning 7 decades of design excellence, so of course, I went. Did I mention there would be Porsches? I've been...

If you've read this blog for a while you know one of my favourite birding destinations, my oasis, my personal paradise, is Tiny Marsh near Georgian Bay in Ontario. I visit the marsh year round and am always fascinated with how much it changes from one visit to the next. Somehow I seem to miss... Continue Reading →
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 →
Thanksgiving weekend was the perfect time to take advantage of the holiday downtime and see some of southern Ontario's fall foliage. Leaving Toronto somewhat early in the day (well, early for a night owl enjoying a long weekend) allowed for a few hours of wonderful morning light. This light brought out the vibrant hues of...
