Happy #WorldMigratoryBirdDay to all who celebrate! I’m digging my most abundant buds of the day — the American Robin. I love seeing great big flocks cleaning out the mountain ash.

A big welcome back to these forest songsters. We’ve missed you, White-throated Sparrow.

I could not be happier to welcome back all the glorious blackbirds!
Grackles have a pretty bad rep — they’re big, they’re noisy, they chase off smaller species, but dang they are fun to watch.
There has been high drama at the feeders since their return! 🪶

Morning bog walk to check up on the black-backed woodpecker. No luck there but the Hairys were drumming and a couple of Ravens were busy building a nest!

A photo of Uriel and Union, two of the wolf siblings at the #HalibutonWolfCentre. Seeing the wolf pack interacting at the education center was pretty darn magical.

Another great #IceFollies exhibit! The highlight for us was Beastie Bones by Studio Nude Beach but it’s always a blast to get out on Lake Nipissing to enjoy some #art in the depths of winter!
