This bird was perched high on the branch very near the nest, calling plaintively over and over.
Hoping that a prospective mate might get curious, I suppose.
Time To Update
It’s been some time since I posted and it’s past time to remedy that. I have focussed more on making photographs and posting them the easy way on Facebook than taking the time to put them into the library on WordPress and then organize them into a post.
But here goes.
Lately, chasing photos of birds has become my go-to mode. I used to photograph lots of flowers as Spring progressed. I have discovered what everyone knows: Flowers are easy. Birds are difficult.
This, of course, has to do with the fact that flowers stay in one place. Oh, they may wave back and forth with the breezes but they can always be found in the same relative location after the wind has settled down.
Birds on the other hand…

Spring is about to arrive in Laurier Woods.
Last year’s growth still survives but the annual process of replacing it is just ready to begin.

Finally
This year has seen an aberration in the normal process of the Seasons.
November and December warmer than past years.
Open water on our lake until January 6.
Mallard Ducks walking up the shore and visiting the ground under the bird feeder in early January to feast on the dropped sunflower seeds.
The lake has been ready to freeze for the past three weeks.
It made an attempt in mid-December but that ice cover disappeared with a couple of days of warm winds from the South.
A full moon, calm air and a -12C night was enough to make ice.
Yesterday morning the lake woke up with its winter blanket of ice.
