Good morning! Super-excited to have a visit from a Tufted Titmouse today. They are rare in Ottawa! Forgive the shaky iPhone photo.

Good morning! This Canada Goose made her nest in a concrete planter between the busy patio of Ottawa’s National Arts Centre restaurant and a multi-use pathway. I guess all that foot traffic keeps the predators away. She seems to be doing fine and we hope to see goslings soon!

Here’s the chickadee in action, collecting cat fur I put out in a suet feeder. I didn’t even have a chance to hang it up before the chickadee came collecting!
