Springtime Breeding

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.

This fresh water gull is much smaller than his saltwater cousin.

Death is all around us.

The Day Of The Tulips

Not "The Day of the Triffids".

Wild Turkey

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.

Tulips

Reaching for the sky.

Streetcar

You need nerves of steel to drive one of these on the streets of Toronto. I know, from personal experience.

I'm glad the book burners lost the war.

Sunshine

Soaking up sun rays.

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.
