Well, after the interviews on CTV and Global, I was contacted by CBC for a digital article, a radio interview and a TV interview on The National.
The digital article is here.
The short radio interview (at the 25:40 mark) is here.
The TV interview (2 minute story) is here.
I am so glad that the issue of bird collisions is getting a lot of attention both here in Canada and in the United States.
After going through some old photos of myself, I thought I would present a few here. It's amazing to think that my life at this moment has spanned 74 years!
After a disappointing spring in terms of warbler sightings (something I look forward to every year), it became a remarkable time for baby bird sightings!
In my neighborhood there are three main places where I go to photograph wildlife. They are all in a row: an English college; a cemetery; and a French college.
In a tall conifer on the front lawn of the first college, a pair of Merlins raised a family of four chicks; in a large maple tree in the cemetery, a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks raised three chicks; and on the beautiful façade of the second college's main building, five Raven chicks were raised.
These created wonderful opportunities to photograph and watch the development of these beautiful (and vocal!) young birds.

In mid March, Venus was released back into the wild! She has been completely cured of her mange and has regained use of her hind legs after months of excellent care and hard work by her rehabilitators. Now starts a new chapter in her life as a healthy young fox!
Here is a short video of her release:
