Sometimes I go through weeks without seeing any interesting wildlife, then suddenly I hit a day when I see a couple of critters. That happened last Saturday. Above you can see the pair of Hooded Mergansers that arrived at my pond. The two come every Spring and the female nests in the tree boxes I have at the edge of the pond.
The other big wildlife sighting I had on Saturday was a moose standing in the middle of the road. It just stood there for a long time watching us as we slowly approached with our car. Eventually we got too close so it turned and trotted off into the bush. We don’t see many moose anymore, so it was a treat to come upon this tall awkward-looking guy,
