Spring is just around the corner and we can’t wait to take advantage of it! Last year, we went several times at the Ojibway Park (5-10 minutes drive from our home) in that period. It’s a nice place for birding and see all kind of other wildlife. We’ve seen some white tail deers, groundhog, chipmunks, snakes, bats, etc.

Preparing for the season, I’ve looked through last year pictures and decided to put some in our photo album. Here are a few samples from the Ojibway Park in spring of 2007:

Also, we went 2 times to look at the migrating birds at the Point Pelee National Park. This is a bit further from home (maybe an hour), but it is worth it. It is a very well known spot for birding. Here are a few pictures from there as well:

I am sure we will visit these 2 places again this spring. More pictures from last year can be found in the respective albums, in the “Fauna related Outings” section.

I am still adding some albums in the photo gallery when I have some time. Few days ago, I have added pictures of butterflies and dragonflies taken in the course of last year.

Here are a few examples and the link to the full album:
