This photo shows very well how close this species has to live to humans. It is fundamental to educate people to reduce disturbance as much as they can, and to teach them to respect the other creatures that share their habitats with us!

Some beaches on the Lake Huron host this very rare plover. When they choose a spot to lay their eggs, the site gets fenced in and their eggs are protected with a cage, so that they can carry on their breeding business without being disturbed too much. In fact, they share beaches with humans in summer with apparently no concern! Here a female, notice the narrow blackish (not completely balck) band on the forehead.

Redpoll winter appearances depend largely on the availability of seeds in their habitat further north. When there is a shortage of food, they move south in what is called an irruptive movement. This usually happens every other year or so! When it happens, redpolls are a common visitor to bird feeders!

Tufted Titmice are an uncommon sight in southwestern Ontario. A reliable site to see them is the feeder at the Pinery Provincial Park visitor centre.

White-breasted nuthatches love bird feeders. This one was hanging around the one at the Pinery visitor centre. Females have a greyer crown and less rufous on their belly.

After a night spent in the humid grass, as the sun comes up the birds like to sit on a post and get their feathers dry! Unfortunately this is strongly backlit, but the species is not so easy to get in front of the camera so well!!
