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.

Feeding frenzy

Feeding ducks in winter in Barrie has led to a lot of mallards n black ducks and this winter a couple other kinds of ducks not migrating anymore. We had a red headed duck,& a northern pintail right up until January. Now we have an american widgeon here still. I didnt see it today but was here yesterday. And as you can see it takes its toll. This one little female is going to loose her leg. It is not easy for them to get around on the snow and the competition for food fed by humans is well look out. People mean well,but it is not good. Now these ducks will not migrate. This female is getting more attention and food from people,but it is a sad thing to see her in this shape. Along with the ducks were a few pigeons. Spring is in the air. These males were really strutting their stuff. Oh so cute.
