The circle of life can be brutal to witness, but is a necessary part of our local ecology.
Bird watching, whether it's in your own backyard or a local park like Presqu'ile Provincial Park is a healthy and grounding thing to do for yourself. But there is a way to up your bird watching game!
Aside from squirrels and chipmunks, grackles and starlings, or bully birds, are the next least welcome at bird feeders.
When and how to put out your feeders to entice the jewels of our gardens to stop by and hopefully hang out for the summer!
Is there anything quite so amazing as the first sight and first hearing of Oriole song in Spring? I personally get so excited about Orioles. I always hear them before I see them, which is probably a testament to 50+ year old eyes!
