Winter Things With Wings:

I continue to find live caterpillars this winter. Our recent lack of snow and occasional warmer days have definitely contributed to the finds. This larva is my first Woolly Bear (or Isabella Tiger Moth) of the season.

I watched a White-breasted Nuthatch bounce in and out of a tree cavity. He eventually retrieved a juicy grub for his lunch.

Sarnia Bay has frozen over. Mallard ducks regularly fly between the land and the ice.

Its incredible to see so many gull species in the air when a Bald Eagle passes by!

The Wild Turkeys made a return visit to our street on Saturday. In rural areas we sometimes find a single turkey in a tree acting as "look out" for the rest of the flock. Apparently one of the birds decided to use our neighbour's van for the look out roost while the other 2 fed under the bird feeder!
