Owls are super capable of providing for their family. This female Great Horned Owl, large and powerful with lethal talons and the ability to fly silently in the dark has no problem providing for her family. I think she'd be capable of providing for a a neighborhood if we were willing to eat her fare. (Bubo virginianus)
Inside this tin covered engine-shed is a broken grain-elevator lift engine. So they backed this old tractor up to the shed and connected its output shaft to the belt-drive inside.
Want some grain? Fire-up the tractor.

The male of a pair of blackbirds nesting in a bay tree in my garden. This is situated right outside my patio doors which is handy, I can hear the little ones all the time. The only problem is my cat, she caught him in the week & brought him inside where I managed to grab him quickly before any harm was done. I popped him back where he is in the picture & he scutttled back into the tree.
Survival of the fittest plays out in the eagle nest near my home. These egg-eaglet-full size transitions can be amazing to watch. I learned the other day that this is the fastest growing species in the bird world. This is an oldie and remains one of the memorable photos from the ongoing story of the nesting pair.
This is an image of a Great Blue Heron who I felt was very proud of his find on this particular trip. they work so hard to find the nesting material and sometimes it turns out to be a little wee stick while other times it is a real prize.
Here is the male of a local nesting pair of bald eagles. The female had finished eating on the food he returned and then settled down into the nest to the right. He continued to eat in the eat-and-check pattern common to so many species. I got him here on a check with the sun hitting him like a spotlight. This is as good as he will look in this nesting season. Once the hatch occurs, he gets very busy and actually will look gaunt by May.

Why I Relay:
I relay for the very same reason I started my nursing endeavor: I am called to advocate for the preservation of human dignity, the promotion of patient equality, and the protection of freedom from suffering. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life movement is the world's largest peer-to-peer fundraising event dedicated to saving lives from cancer. I am part of this movement because I have always chosen to reach out to those in need with caring and compassion. Now, as a nurse, I have the means of healing body, mind, and spirit. I also have a greater responsibility for advocacy.
As a nursing student, I worked in an oncology floor for a few months and was able to directly interact with those who benefit from our yearly charity event. After seeing not only their pain, fear, and suffering, but also their joy for life, resilience, and strength, I cannot put into words how honored and proud I am to be a part of Relay for Life today and for many years to come.
My art provides to me much needed mental therapy, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to join in this great event. I dedicate this work to those in need of healing and affection. May you be touched by the healing power of God and the hands he uses to impart that miracle: those of nurses, doctors, and other health care providers. Not all hero wear capes, some are NURSES. I made it!

American Robins, both parents, were busy gathering wiggling earthworms to feed their fledglings hiding in the understory brush.

During the time that we have been here in Annapolis Royal, this fishing boat was being repaired and getting a new coat of paint. It's really amazing how quickly that they have accomplished this work. Here the sign painter is putting the finishing touches on the name.
See the next photo for a shot of the whole boat.

This hard-working male Cross Fox caught vole after vole. He did something I've never seen before, he would bury the voles very shallow in the snow with his nose and later gather several and take them to the den.
This is the male of a pair of local barn owls (Tyto alba). I've not seen them for a month and with the appalling weather and the constant presence of jackdaws at the roost I was afraid they had not survived. Great to see him hunt successfully, return straight to the nest with the catch and go back out immediately.
This time of year the birds are busy courting and building nests and of course the great blue herons put on a wonderful show for all. Their amazing feather detail and color make them a true masterpiece of creation and what a privilege it is to see them in the process of building the future !!
Wishing you all a restful and blessed night !
