This is Boo, who whilst she has lost some weight over winter, is still a chunk. As you can see, she made short work of their new sweeping brush. It was scattered everywhere by the time she was through. I guess she would call it temporary enrichment!!

The Boreal Chickadee is recognized by its brown cap. This species is found year-round in dense evergreen forests of North America, mostly in Canada.

sitting with David as he watches the Giants game.... I hate sports as these grown men get paid millions for playing a game...

spend that money on people who have REAL jobs...

So here's another version of this DDG image...

Boreal owl, Southern Ontario, Mar 4, 2022.

A life bird, woohooo! Very unusual in our area.

 

Made a day trip to the Niagara area to see this bird. It was our first trip since covid started.

Tucked in tight to a tree trunk.

Thanks to Rob for pointing it out, we had checked all the spruce trees in the area and had missed it.

 

Now we just need the Elf owl.

 

Aegolius funereus

As with most other raptors, the female Boreal Owl is much larger than the male. In fact, they show the most extreme sexual dimorphism of any American owl, with the female sometimes 2 times heavier than the male.

It's a languid evening, an evening where nothing happens

No wind, no rain, no mist, nothing, absolutely nothing

The sweltering evaporation of the lake hangs around you like a clammy warm blanket, making you sweat annoyingly and the droplets slowly slide down your forehead

There is no wind and bored some sailing yachts in the distance lie dobbing in the water, because without wind no progress

Two ducks scurry around hoping to find some more food and a cormorant has been sitting on a pole to dry its wings for hours

But the poor stumper does not realise this is futile, as it is languid, hot and clammy........

It is languid, hot, clammy, nasting, sweltering and I hope I can catch some sleep soon........

This photo opportunity presented itself,which I could not ignore.The flat bottomed boat sedately appeared,hardly moving and seemed to be becalmed on the still waters. The faces of the passengers were a sight to behold,they seemed to be blank,bored and void of expression and showing no interest in their colourful surrounding.

It is worth enlarging to see passengers faces.

Thank You for the views,faves and comments,very much appreciated .

A very elusive bird but always popular, the Boreal Chickadee is one of the star attractions to the bog. In my previous trips I was never able to spot one, however this time there were a couple that were not camera shy at the end of gray jay trail.

(Enallagma boreal)

 

Just could not get a clear shot at these two mating in the grass--this is the best I could do.

 

I believe (not entirely sure) this is the boreal variety. I discovered that there are 3-4 identical looking blue damselflies requiring anatomical detail to separate them. This variety breeds in ponds and lakes which fit the environment I was in.

 

Not an artistic, beautiful picture but just life and nature.

This is a so-called lifer for me.

I was bored, so I called a meeting.

Was bored.

Finally! Lifer! Memere and I were starting to think these guys weren’t real! Definitely nothing like their cousins! Top of a mountain EBF

At least his face was in focus. To many branches surrounding him. Spruce Grove Alberta.

For over 50 years, researchers have studied the Canada Jays in Algonquin Park. These birds of the boreal forest have been declining in numbers, possibly due to climate change and the freeze/thaw cycle... rarely do I see an unbanded bird.
