One sees these signs in many windows in Quebec regarding COVID-19 (the novel coronavirus disease which began in 2019) and roughly translated it means "We will be fine". I understand that in Ontario, people put teddy bears in their windows which pleases passing children. :-)
Because of the restrictions put in place to stay at home and only go out for solo walks or to get groceries and other essential supplies, I have been limiting my photographic excursions to a small area in my neighbourhood within the Montreal borough of Saint-Laurent. Luckily for me, this area encompasses two college campuses. I have explored these places before but never to any great extent. The wildlife I have encountered these last few weeks has been amazing! The most exceptional creature being a Wild Turkey!
Here is a sample of the wildlife I have been able to photograph (with varying degrees of success):
Wild Turkey
Hairy Woodpecker
Groundhog
Robin
Ring-billed Gull
Canada Geese
Turkey Vulture
Crow
Eastern Phoebe
Gray Squirrel
American Goldfinch (in changing plumage)
Downy Woodpecker
Eastern Cottontail
Song Sparrow
Cooper's Hawk
Others that I saw but didn't get an acceptable photograph: Killdeer and Cardinal.
And last but not least, here is a photograph of the recent super Moon. I guess I can't claim that it is in my neighbourhood (as the title implies) but it sure was a lovely sight from my window!
Keep well everyone!
Lucky you, lovely pictures. I especially like the song sparrow.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and you too. xx
Thanks Flighty. I'm glad you liked the song sparrow. I hope you have them where you are as they have a lovely song.
DeleteI know from the little bird/waterfowl shooting that I have done that it is not easy since you have to take what you can get. So you did a good job.
ReplyDeleteI do have a few waterfowl pics on my Flickr site if you want to start here and work your way forward. https://flic.kr/p/2iJt8zm
Maybe I will go put up another now. Just for you. :)
Thanks Anvilcloud. Your pix are beautiful and thanks too for the funny video. You and Sue did a great job.
DeleteI came back because I thought you might get a laugh out of Sue and me doing the silly walk last week, a la Monty Python. https://youtu.be/59MMUGE3ARE
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty close to home! Prayind all stays well with you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much messymimi. So far I am fine and I hope you and yours are too.
DeleteOnce again you've outdone yourself, Doris! I am so happy that you've found such diverse wildlife to photograph. I'm staying tuned for your next discoveries.
ReplyDeleteThanks Didee! I will be posting more wildlife subjects soon! :-)
