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.

Female Northern Shoveler,Aug,19/10

My friend Ann & I were very lucky on our outings on Friday to see this beautiful female northern shoveler. She was hanging out around the mallards but they actually did not stick with her. Her bill stood right out telling us she was not a mallard. She came nice and close. What an incredible bill to lug around. Next day she was gone. Just passing through this area we were in at the time. We did a lot of miles birding that day. And all were pretty successful.

These moths look and act just like a hummingbird and are almost the same size. This was a real treat.

Scissor Tailed Flycatcher,August,10/10

Went with a few good friends to see this flycatcher and it was waiting for us on the wire as we arrived. As usual lighting was not the greatest. But what a beautiful bird. Very hot humid day for us. But was a well worth trip. Good friends,good fun and we saw the bird. What more could you want.

Albino Chipmunk,7/30/10

This is something I have never seen before and was such a pleasure to photograph. My friends are watching over this little guy in their backyard. And hoping he doesn't become a meal for a hawk flying by. He apparently has been there for a couple years. Just beautiful.
