The squirrels have finally made it up our feeder. I’m honestly impressed. We have moved the feeder, put Vaseline on the pole so the slide down and now they are launching themselves from the tree and fence to get on. I think we just need to say they have won. #Canadawildlife #squirrels

Great Egret
Great Egret
“If you’ve noticed a lot of egrets on here recently… you’re not wrong. They’ve taken over the Grand River, and my camera can’t resist. This one really showed off it's white feathers.

Did you know? The Great Egret was once hunted nearly to extinction for its feathers, but conservation brought them back. This fall I have seen dozens down by the Grand River in Kitchener.

Red-Bellied Woodpecker
A Red-bellied Woodpecker, despite its name, is best recognized for its fiery red head and bold black-and-white back. I spotted this one hunting for berries along the Grand River in Kitchener.

Downy Woodpecker
This Downy Woodpecker was foraging for insects along the trunk, using its stiff tail feathers to brace against the tree.
