Looking for Bald Eagles

Posted in Activities, birds, Eagle, Fort Whyte Alive, Manitoba, Nature, pictures, spring, trees, walking, weather, Wildlife, Winnipeg

Now that I know the location of a Bald Eagle nest, I decided to return for better photos.

March is the month that can go either way around here. We have had blizzards some years and we have had an early spring other years. This year is looking more like it will be an early spring.

The Provincial parks offer free entrance in February, and it has been awhile since I’ve been there, so I put a few sunflower seeds in my pocket and headed there. I… Continue reading To Birds Hill Provincial Park for a Stroll

Yes, Christmas is on the way too – but spring WILL be here sometime in the next couple of months. In the meantime, I will be moving at the end of March and have been packing in advance. The first 2 weeks in March I will be bird and house sitting, so I won’t get… Continue reading Spring is on the Way
