The above photo was taking at Sleeping Giant Provincal Park by N Roy while JADOTF jabbered in her ear.

It always starts the same way, uffff, UFFF comes out of a little furry throat, staring out the living room window showing me that something is up, and the little nose is pointing to the front road, so peek out and see a big van slowly creeping and then stopping by my laneway.. then nothing, finally window’s open and a door opens and a few colorfully dressed older folks appear with extra large binoculars, and stare for what seems like forver at my farm, while the third person has a clipboard and is writing like mad..

Yup, its the New Year, and the annual local Bird Count is happening, and best of luck to all the folks that are out and about today.
