Some of the best moments of my life were spent with the Bald Eagles out on Vancouver Island ...

And with the family of Ravens in Aguasabon Canyon north of Lake Superior.

I've had traumatic experiences involving the Canadian Wildlife Ecology Service, university students and Surf Scoter ducks ...

I was lucky enough to spot a scarlet tanager right here in Midhurst a couple years ago.

Sometimes I meet up with flocks of wild turkeys on the hiking trails here, and I always enjoy the chickadees and bluejays and woodpeckers and cardinals.

Oh yes, and I've heard talk of a particularly wild species of Raptor in the area lately, so look out all you Hummingbirds!
