These Bison were quite a distance away from the viewing areas, but I managed to zoom in enough so that, combined with cropping, I got some 1/2 decent photos. They have a nice herd of Bison at Fort Whyte Alive and it is nice to be able to see them in the city. They have… Continue reading Bison at Fort Whyte Alive

Red-wing Blackbirds at Fort Whyte Alive
A few Red-wing Blackbirds were co-operative enough to pose for me while I wandered around at Fort Whyte Alive the other day. I could have just sat somewhere and let more birds come to me, but 1/2 my reason for being there was to walk – so I kept walking.
Canada Geese at Fort Whyte Alive
Some Canada Geese and Goslings were active at Fort Whyte Alive the other day, so I got some pictures of them. Everything is so peaceful, so you can almost forget you are in the city while walking here.
Little Guys at Fort Whyte Alive
I got a few non-bird pictures while walking around at Fort Whyte Alive the other day. The next three were all crossing the path I was walking on. In a place like this (even right in the city) it is all natural and you never know what you might find there. I have seen caterpillars… Continue reading Little Guys at Fort Whyte Alive
Ducks at Fort Whyte Alive
Yesterday, I showed you the Pelicans at Fort Whyte Alive and today it is time for some ducks. It was a beautiful morning for a stroll and most of the critters were fairly co-operative. More to come tomorrow.
Pelicans at Fort Whyte Alive
I spent this morning walking around Fort Whyte Alive and have plenty of pictures to show. I am dividing them up into a few posts to keep the same or similar critters in each post. This one contains Pelicans. Hope you enjoyed the Pelicans – more to come in the next post.

Yesterday, I had absolutely nothing scheduled except for laundry, so after the laundry was done, I went for a walk along the Seine River. I just brought my little camera that does’t have a lot of zoom, since it fits into my pocket. First thing I found was on a tree trunk just behind my… Continue reading A Little Walk
Dog/House Sitting – Buddy & Coconut
I’ve found that looking after someone’s dog(s), so the owners can get away is great for me. I get to spend time with the dog(s) with lots of kisses and a cuddly critter to sleep with – without having any expenses for food or veterinarian services. The bonus is that people will pay me to… Continue reading Dog/House Sitting – Buddy & Coconut
House Finches – from Eggs to Flight
A close friend of mine has been documenting on FaceBook about a pair of House Finches who built a nest in one of her hanging plants. My friend Hazel lives in the Minneapolis area and she has agreed to let me share her photos with everyone. In my years of breeding pet birds, I have… Continue reading House Finches – from Eggs to Flight
A Couple of Hours at Fort Whyte Alive – part 2
Trips to Fort Whyte Alive are always nice. It is on the outskirts of Winnipeg, but you feel immersed right in nature. There are lakes, ponds or puddles, pastures, bush, a treehouse, bird feeding stations and a lot of birds and other critters. It is a great place to just get away without actually leaving… Continue reading A Couple of Hours at Fort Whyte Alive – part 2
