These birds count on the fact that you cant see them and do not flush easy when on the nest.

I was out looking for goldenwinged warblers and something caught my eye. This woodcock was nesting right beside a white pine very well concealed.

These birds gather during late May and early April to challenge each other for mates and to decide who will use the nest box.

Taken in early spring 2009 on the Green River beside my home.

I was out yesterday at the infamous Strongville Rd and found a number of snowies but I had a new visitor. This Raven flew in for a visit. I would like to think that this was a white necked raven but they dont visit this far north. I think the wind simply blew its feathers up for an instant.

This owl did not give a hoot about my presence. It was on this hydro pole for the entire morning on Highway 12 just north of the Talbot river.
