Duet
Pete and Paulie are two local bald eagles who have been in the same nest for at least the last ten years.
They spend the winter here and every spring two or three new little bald eagles enter the world in their nest.
Right now it is waiting time and discussions take place.
A conversation happened the other day and I was fortunate enough to be able to eavesdrop.
I’m not sure what the resolution was, but they then turned their backs and gazed off into space.

Looks very confident.

Flicker
Laurier Woods is a local area readily accessible to town.
It is a little microcosm of Northern Ontario, with bush, rocks, ponds, beaver dams (complete with beaver), all connected by well-marked trails.
Getting lost in the Woods is difficult.
Getting lost in the moments one experiences there is easy.

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 In The Wetland
Land with water in it used to be call “swamp”. When I was growing up, a swamp had little value.
Over the years, education has changed the minds of many and along with the change in thinking, the term “wetland” has replaced the word “swamp”.
The values of wetland are still being established in the consciousness of society, particularly those members whose minds are ruled by the economy.
Here are two sights with great visual and emotional value that wetlands provide.

Migration
The birds know Winter is coming.
Sandhill Cranes make the trip to the warmer South in stages, pausing along the way to rest and glean the fields for food.
The opportunity to watch them and make photographs presents itself annually.
We are fortunate to be on the flyway and the presence of large farms in our area provides the resting spots.

Summer Colour
The colours of Summer are magnified by bright days and a visit to a garden.
When you get lucky the birds contribute as well.

Heron Fun
There were a lot of Great Blue Herons around this summer.
A bumper crop in fact.
