Red-shouldered Hawk
The Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered Hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.

Description of the District
The Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District is bounded by Sydenham, Melville, Cross and Victoria Streets in the former Town of Dundas, now the City of Hamilton. The district consists of 49 properties. These properties are predominantly single family dwellings with the exception of three churches.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
According to the Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District Study - Background Report the cultural heritage value of the district lies in its historical and associative value, design or physical value as well as the contextual value. The Background Report concludes:
“The Cross-Melville area constitutes a superb collection of buildings with particularly fine architectural attributes. Tree planted along the streets enhance the surroundings of individual buildings and provide expansive canopies over adjacent streets. Developed in the 1840s and 1850s as the first exclusively residential area distinct from the commercial and industrial locales of Dundas, this neighbourhood is associated with numerous prominent citizens, mayors and councillors, including George Rolph, William Notman, Alexis Begue and the Grafton family”.
I saw this plant at Tamala Park Conservation area. Not sure what it is and i suspect it may be a weed but I genuinely don't know. It was very cute and about the size of my fist.

Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Dryobates borealis)
Francis Marion National Forest, South Carolina, U.S.A.
A Red-cockaded Woodpecker clings to a longleaf pine, momentarily pausing from his relentless drilling.
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has played a crucial role in the survival of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker in the Southeastern United States. Since its listing as an endangered species in 1973, federal protection has facilitated active conservation efforts, including habitat restoration and management on federal lands such as national forests and military installations. I've seen firsthand the positive impact of this protection on numerous Army installations across the American Southeast. As a result of these efforts, this species has been downlisted from "endangered" to "threatened," marking a major milestone in its recovery.

Description of the District
The Durand-Markland Heritage Conservation District runs along Markland Street and includes Park Street and MacNab Street between Markland Street and Herkimer. Chilton Place is also included.
The Durand-Markland Heritage Conservation District is found in the City of Hamilton and consists of 51 residential properties.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
The Heritage Conservation District Plan describes the heritage character as:
“Although a few residents were built in the 1850s and 1860s, the Durand-Markland study area is characterized by a predominance of late nineteenth century to early twentieth century building construction. There is a range and diversity of structures from small, vernacular worker’s cottages to large classically detailed houses of the upper middle class.
The most prominent architectural styles are nineteenth century Italianate (1850-1900), and Queen Anne (1880-1910), and twentieth century Tudor Revival (1900-1930s) Examples of such architectural styles as Second Empire (1860-1880), Colonial Revival (1900-present), Edwardian Classicism (1900-1930), and four-square (1900-1930) are also represented in the district ”.
It goes on to state:
“The distinctive architectural features of the area are its scale, mass, decorative detailing and building sitting. Remarkably few individual buildings and properties have been extensively altered or subdivided over time due to changing tastes, economics and fashion The overall nineteenth century residential character coupled with a distinctive treeline and canopied streetscapes have generally been retained and occasionally enhanced”.
Designation of the District
The designation of Durand-Markland was initiated by local residents. Unterman McPhail Cumming Associates Heritage Conservation and Planning Consultants and Wendy Shearer Landscape Architect Limited completed the plan in 1994 for the City of Hamilton.
The Durand-Markland Heritage Conservation District is protected by By-law 94-184, which was passed in 1994 by the City of Hamilton.

A D O R A B L E.
So far I have gathered that Amari is smart and a bit of a thinker. Also he seems be very determined and knows exactly what he wants and how he wants to do it.
On the flip side of that, he doesn't stray too far from his keeper, so he is still very timid but growing in confidence each time I have seen him.
I have to laugh at him when he bolts back into his den. It is like he is running inside to tell mum and dad (Misty & Milo) about all the people looking at him or that he has to tell them that he climbed the rocks without falling....

Thank you, my kind Flickr friends, for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!
