Recently we put two trail cameras up behind our house. We’ve seen a fox, a turkey, and two fishers. Today we were able to see the fisher in the daytime. It was pretty fascinating to see and we hope to see it more often in the future.

I thought I would add some more pictures of the rabbits we’ve seen through this summer. The next two pictures were taken in the last week or two. The rabbit’s fur is changing colour, preparing for the winter. It’s amazing how fast it changes. As it has gotten whiter, the rabbit has been sitting under […]

We have five otters in our lake right now. It’s hard to get photos of them because they head out into the lake when you get near them. but I have been able to get a few pictures of them in the last while. I enjoy watching them and listening to them as they chatter […]

This past week we were able to go camping at Arrowhead in Huntsville. It was a bit cool, but that was okay. One of the days, we went to Algonquin for a day of hiking. We were hoping to see some wildlife, but we didn’t. We saw more back at Arrowhead the next day. We […]

This summer we have seen a few red squirrels in our area that have white tails. We haven’t seen this before. You can see the white tail in this photo. The photo below shows the tail a bit better. The colouring is different because the lighting was quite poor for this one. It is a […]

Apparently there are 5 rabbit and hare species in Canada. We have some Eastern Cottontails (bunny rabbits) here in our area. We are seeing more of them all the time compared to several years ago. They aren’t very afraid of us and can often be seen in our yard or in other years as we […]

We have seen a couple of young bucks in our area this year. They do not seem too shy so I’ve been able to get some photos of them. These were probably born last year. They are starting to get antlers. They eat leafy material from trees, and grasses and herbs. They do like my […]

We had a visitor in our backyard today. He or she wasn’t very afraid of us, and was having a snack. They will eat almost anything. Raccoons live for about 3 to 5 years in the wild. They have been known to live for over 20 years when they are in captivity. They are usually […]

I didn’t name the porcupine a “quill pig”. The Latin name for porcupine means “quill pig”. That’s quite a title for this animal. When we were out for a drive, we saw this porcupine at the side of the road. It was eating some small branches which is part of its regular diet of bark […]

This morning on my walk I was able to see one of the otters again. It was quite curious about what I was doing.
