Springtime Breeding

Andy | Friday, May 30, 2014 | Best Blogger Tips

The one with the neck band is the female. The collars are part of an effort to track the populations and movements of the geese. One of the side effects of having Canada Geese in your neighbourhood is the poop you see on the sidewalk.

Wild Turkey

Andy | Friday, May 16, 2014 | Best Blogger Tips

Seeing a wild turkey in a urban setting is rare. The eastern wild turkey is native to Ontario and was historically common in southern parts of the province. It was extirpated from the province by 1909 due to unregulated hunting and the clearing of forests for agriculture in southern Ontario.

*****************************************


In 1984, Ontario began working with partner organizations to restore eastern wild turkeys using birds trapped in the wild from several U.S.A. states. These efforts were successful and led to an expansion in the number and range of wild turkeys. By the winter of 1986-87, Ontario began trapping Ontario wild turkeys and transferring them into unoccupied areas. Wild turkeys also continue to expand their range naturally.

Corn Field

With the slow arrival of spring, everything is so drab in colours. This corn field had been harvested last fall and is now awaiting a ploughing (plowing?) and replanting.
