I put this shot in because it's the only way to travel the River comfortably, but also the canoe, at least to me, looks like a restored cedar strip, a work of art. I'd give my eye teeth to own ...

The Cedar Waxwing party was photographed in 26 C bright sunshine, while the humidity was 44 percent. I only went hiking because I keep trying to get into shape for a longer trek. We've gone f...

We've had rain warnings and floods, but despite the conditions, the weather has warmed in the last few days. All the flying critters are in fine colour, although I haven't seen many females a...

I wasn't going to post this week except I got some great shots of this fellow, who virtually landed in front of me. He was so close that I got no full body shots. I didn't dare reset the lens...

Poor Pity The Purple Finch This photo is here only to give you some idea of the long stormy winter that we experienced. It was early, and I think, is the first of the global warming winter...

I was initially going to publish an ecological post, but the weather has been so awful ranging from wind warnings, rain warnings, and a blizzard accompanied by a quick 12 degree drop with win...

Needing a friend to talk with, I decided to check with the local shelter to see what was available. The A/C officer said he had just the guy for me, named Robert.Now Robert is a bit heavy for a...

The weather is all over the place with temperatures of 3C(about40F) to muggy,warm, and then rain. That accounts for the fog opposite, and the odd combination of critters. The birch,below,despit...

Just a few things. There is an attack of leaf miners here, which will preclude a vibrant fall forest. Apparently it happens every ten years or so. You'll see it in the birch in the photos.I'll ...

I joined Google+, I'm not certain why, because so far it seems to send me emails about people replying to other sites. This seems to me a little too social, but if I'm missing something let me k...
http://vermilonriverwildlife.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-mysterious-manitou-islands-and.html
A lot to cover in this post. So its a long one. The last post was about Manitoulin Island, a place as opposed to wildlife,not that it isn't filled with wildlife. Boomer's death left a huge...
http://vermilonriverwildlife.blogspot.com/2013/08/more-wildlife-of-vermilon-river.html
This is certainly a change of pace; in fact no nature at all. This post details a trip to Manitoulin Island, concentrating on Little Current, and Kagawong. The Island, Manitoulin means"spirit...

This post is loaded with photos,so I'll keep copy to a minimum. The forest is filled with berries, so the food supply is incredible for all the wildlife, bird and four legged. There are also ...

What's that...Cuckoos, you say!!. You've been in the woods far too long. Well, you'll have to wait and see and even read the post before seeing anything. Opposite the River. A post to:Id Rat...

Again this is a long post, so use the slide show by all means, although there is some copy later in the post. The mornings are cool, although the sun is hot, but the combination makes for dew...

I had intended a more political post in favour of nature, and the dying world wide wilderness expressed so well in some recent publications,but the sheer photographic opportunities in the hikes...

You might have noticed that I did not post last week.I intended to, but my computer loaded with infections required a complete clean up. Interestingly enough the fellow who performed the clea...

Again this is a long post so use the slide show. The weather has suddenly moved to sunny and warm, although the long range forecast consistently shows rainy periods which seem to be pushed of...
http://vermilonriverwildlife.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-advent-of-summer-at-vermilon-river.html
Leading into Canada Day, we've just had five days of rain which curtailed a great deal of hiking. But the forest is alive in wildflower blooms, and redolent with the smell of wild rose. This ...
http://vermilonriverwildlife.blogspot.com/2013/06/wet-weather-at-vermilon-river.html
This is another really long post; so click any photo for the slide show. But first a couple of points. Re: the bear. Now own up to it all who admitted to fear and trepidation. You would have ...
http://vermilonriverwildlife.blogspot.com/2013/06/summer-colours-at-vermilon-river.html
This is a very long post, so I suggest you use the slide show, by clicking any photo. Although there are comments throughout the post that you might want to read. This is a compilation post i...

The weather has been sunny,but cold somewhere between 0 and 5C in the morning. When it warms, the bugs are out in droves, probably because of the standing water in the woods. I'm dressed for ...

Thanks to everyone who commented on Boomer's Memorial Post. It helped,although I still miss him desperately. To keep me busy, I've been in the woods. As well I bought a new camera and have been...

This is the most difficult of all posts, and indeed, of all articles that I have ever written. Boomer went to Wildlife Valhalla on Thursday, May 23,2013. I miss him desperately. ...

I put this post together on Friday,so I'll probably post it early. We got the freezing rain which was followed by snow, 26 cm. just to the north of us. The Evening Grosbeaks visited my feeder...
