l have been a part of a few successful wildlife rescues and educate people on wildlife and environmental issues. We have helped in issues to save wetlands, woodlands etc.to save the precious life within. It is well worth the effort. We can all learn to live and work together. Education is the key. In 2011 I won an education award from Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority for the work and photography I do. Habitat is fast disappearing and with it, many species are also declining in numbers. So many species can actually tell us the health of our environment and alert us to problems we need to know about. They all need to be protected.

June 30/09 Pileated woodpeckers


Today when l arrived home l was greeted by the pileated woodpecker adult male with his baby, also a male. It almost ran me over as l walked to the house and it flew over barely missing me. The male was busy feeding at the feeder while the baby was being very curious . 


You can see the baby's tongue as he checks out my sundial in this old dead tree trunk at the front of the house.
Baby male pileated. The male has the red cheek patch,female is white.
This is the male adult at the feeder.
Baby flies to the maple tree to meet dad.
Gets a well deserved feeding.
