Ontario Birds and Wildlife: May 2015
http://ontariobirdsandwildlife.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Ontario Birds and Wildlife. Tracking my outdoor explorations. Sunday, 24 May 2015. Afternoon on the Avon. My mom, sister and my three nephews decided to take a walk around the Lake Victoria section of the Avon river in Stratford this afternoon. The major push of migrating waterfowl has passed through our area, but I was still hopeful to see something interesting among the summer residents. The first part of the walk yielded a mallard hen with ducklings. The first ducklings that I have seen this year.

Ontario Birds and Wildlife. Tracking my outdoor explorations. Sunday, 7 June 2015. Birds and Butterflies on the Ellice Swamp Rail Trail. I spent part of my afternoon walking the rail trail of the Ellice Swamp. I had been wanting to return to this location for a while and even though I only had half an hour, I decided to walk the trail. Cloud cover was slowly rolling in and the wind had picked up as I arrived. The turtle pulled into its shell when I came over. Safely on the other side of the road. This ph...

Ontario Birds and Wildlife. Tracking my outdoor explorations. Thursday, 26 March 2015. The Return of Waterfowl. Winter mallards at Avon River, Stratford. This time of year is the last chance in my area to see certain ducks as they are usually only passing through. The buffleheads, goldeneyes and mergansers for example can occur throughout winter and early spring and then they mostly leave our area until the fall and winter months. Canada Geese at the Avon River- Stratford, Ontario. Monday, 23 March 2015.

Ontario Birds and Wildlife. Tracking my outdoor explorations. Thursday, 25 June 2015. Summertime on the farm means a busy schedule and it is sometimes harder to to fit in birding. During my free time, I am often exploring around the farm or some other birding hotspot in the area. No special rarities around our area lately. The last one for me was a drake northern pintail at the Mitchel Sewage Lagoons, somewhat unusual for this time of year. Lots of eastern kingbirds around. Blake A. Mann. July Showers br...

Ontario Birds and Wildlife. Tracking my outdoor explorations. Sunday, 12 July 2015. An Afternoon of Birds and Butterflies. I was glad to have a free afternoon and good weather on the same day and decided to walk a route around the farm. Birds were my primary focus, but many species of butterflies and dragonflies also quickly caught my interest. For the most part, it was the insects that were the most co-operative for photos. Common whitetail dragonflies were the dominant dragonfly of the afternoon. Your ...

Ontario Birds and Wildlife. Tracking my outdoor explorations. Wednesday, 29 July 2015. Return to West Perth Wetlands. You can see that I got caught in a brief shower. It allowed me much closer views which were not possible with my binoculars. There were many birds about today. Overall, a good time in West Perth. Blake A.

Ontario Birds and Wildlife. Tracking my outdoor explorations. Friday, 23 January 2015. Wood Duck Box Cleanout Part 1. I arrived at our first pond nearest the house and home to two duck boxes. If I sneak down here in the spring, I can regularly see wood duck life on this pond. I put my ladder against the pole of the first box and headed up. Of course, it was at this point that I realized I had forgotten a pliers to open the box. I quick trip to the shed and back, and I had the box open. I had to park a li...
