Creeks and Rivers

Creeks and Rivers are starting to show more water around rapids and narrow areas.  Still a lot of snow in the bush it's will take some time before it goes, unless it rains. A couple of shots of Montreal River at Edith Lake and the Wapus Creek at the bridge.

Finally a new bird at the feeder

After wading thru hundreds of Repolls, Chickadee's and Grosbeaks a new bird finally appeared on the front step.                                     A Morning Dove.

Truck accident at Wigwam Hill (east of Lost Lake)

This video is a little shakey, I should have stopped and shot.  Truck with load going east loses control coming around bend and finally rolls on it's side meanwhile an empty log truck coming towards hill has to take action and hit the ditch. 

Aurora Borealis

The last couple of nights we have had some great northern lites.  According to the weather network we may still have some tonight.  Getting camera ready the first night I was out I didn't have the right settings all pictures were deleted, last night I was ready and had some practice shooting too I'm sure glad to get another chance.  The camera collects more colours than your eye.

Feeding crows

An other video this time feeding crows, they seem to like the chicken skin and bones but not the baguette who would know.

Threat of lots of snow by tomorrow

Good thing I went out and cleaned some of it all ready.  To bad it took me so long.

Finally a break in the weather

Last couple of days have been quite nice with the sun out the temperature has gone above the freezing mark.  Still lots of Redpolls and Grosbeaks.  Waiting for the flood of more species to start coming in. Here is a male Redpoll eating up some sunflower seeds.
