Wednesday, January 30, 2013. The Dove and the Olive Branch. Now that I am working again, I accept that I won't be able to chase every rarity that gets reported in Ontario like I did most of last year. I'm grateful to be employed again (w/ a job I'm enjoying no less! Well, as things sometimes do, things instantly went wrong. Or José Saramago's Blindness. When I lived in Toronto I would always wear the opposite of what the weather called for (which I hadn't checked anyway). Mark Field can attest. Can we go...

Life in the Beaver Hills: August 2013
http://beaverhillslife.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 30, 2013. A brief taste of Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan. Certainly one of the highlights of the summer was my August 11th overnight stopover in Grasslands National Park. In southernmost Saskatchewan. It was my first stop on an Edmonton-to-Kingston (and back) road adventure. And re-introduced populations of Swift Fox. Were hawking for insects at eye level along the main street. In the late afternoon I drove from Val Marie along the Ecotour Route. A dark phased Swainson's Hawk.

Life in the Beaver Hills: Golden Eagle over Elk Island National Park
http://beaverhillslife.blogspot.com/2014/01/golden-eagle-over-elk-island-national.html
Wednesday, January 15, 2014. Golden Eagle over Elk Island National Park. Martha and I took the dog out for some exercise on January 13th in Elk Island National Park and were thrilled to come upon a well-scavenged bison carcass attended by three Coyotes, five Common Ravens. And a dozen or so Black-billed Magpies. Perched about one hundred yards away was this juvenile Golden Eagle. Our first sighting of this species in the park where it's considered to be a rare spring-fall migrant. Ontario Birds and Herps.

Norfolk County Naturalist: February 2013
http://adamtimpf.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Nature sightings from southern Ontario, and wherever my wanderings take me. Wednesday, 6 February 2013. Guadalupe - Los Quetzales Ecolodge. I just typed up a bunch of stuff and then lost it all. Damn blogger. Somehow it didn't automatically save a draft either. Guadalupe is just about Cerro Punta, beside Vulcan Baru, the tallest mountain in Central America. I liked the area so much I spent an extra day here. The Los Quetzales Ecolodge is nice because although it has some fancy cabins in the woods...Hummi...

Nature sightings from southern Ontario, and wherever my wanderings take me. Saturday, 26 January 2013. Panama Days 3 and 4 - Gamboa. Day 3: Slept in and took my time getting out of Panama City to Gamboa. Taxi for 25$, or bus for 0.65? Blue-gray Tanagers are super common but are still stunning regardless. Black-cheeked Woodpeckers are common - this one was excavating a nesthole. It was build to service a pipeline built during WW2 but never used. The road doesn't stay this nice.not by a long shot. Hopefull...

Life in the Beaver Hills: November 2013
http://beaverhillslife.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 28, 2013. Northern Goshawk drops in. A juvenile Northern Goshawk. Has been a fairly irregular visitor to our yard in recent weeks. Today it perched and preened for more than an hour as the usual throng of HAWOs. Attended our feeders below. There was no drama. A few days ago this accipter took a shot at a Pileated Woodpecker, and missed. The week before we found a scattering of Mallard. Feathers just beyond our yard. C'est la guerre.
