http://nathanmillerbirds.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Things are about to pick up! While the weather has been phenomenal the past week or so, it seems to have stalled the southward migration of many birds, and things have been relatively stagnant since the last post. Highlights in terms of birds have been few and far between. Although thanks to Ken Burrell (again) I was able to get some decent looks at my 238th Ontario bird species for the year, a Hudsonian Godwit at Conestoga Lake! Tuesday, 23 September 2014. Great Egret, not a ...

Birds of South Porcupine and Moonbeam. Discovering the bird species of Cochrane District in Northern Ontario. Favorite Birding Spots in the Area. Friday, March 4, 2016. Favorite Birding Spots in Timmins - South Porcupine Area. Northern Ontario is a great place to discover birds. We have such a vast, wild, non-developed territory to explore. These never-ending natural areas mean that the birds are spread out and therefore, not easy to find. But that's ok because we love the challenge, right? Spring Arriva...

Ontario Nature Listservs, Groups and Forums. Sunday, November 30, 2014.

Ontario Nature Listservs, Groups and Forums. Monday, July 27, 2015. Although most plants produce their own energy (sugars) from the sun, we have a variety of plants that parasitise other organisms and have no chlorophyll. Note that this is different from the carnivorous plants I've talked about before, which are getting nutrients from another source but are still producing sugars from the sun. Clump of Spotted Coralroot. Beechdrops parasitises trees directly, rather than only doing so through fungi like ...

Friday, 10 July 2015. Gems of Essex County - Butterflies and Plants.

We visited some sites near Windsor including Ojibway Prairie. Here are a few of the highlights. Hickory Hairstreak were found in a few locations, this species is designated as Vulnerable in Ontario. Definitely the highlight of the trip was catching this Duke's Skipper!
