A very informative article. Identification can be confusing. In Canada we have the Great Cormorant. It is interesting that shags are a different bird in the UK. Sometimes here in Canada the Great Cormorant are simply called Shags. Our other specie is the smaller double crested cormorant.

That is incredible, Francesca. I think the red-winged blackbirds are migratory.

One of the many things I love about winter is the awareness of wildlife, even though you may not see them. The tracks they leave in the snow such these left by wild turkeys. This was a large group travelling mostly single file in the same direction. #ForestFriday #AnimalTracks #wildturkey #Canada

Running Into 2026 When you usher in the New Year at the tail end of a pretty substantial winter storm, it makes me sort of wonder what kind of year will 2026 be like. Though the snow is incredibly pretty. Orillia Ma…

Little Owl in its roosting tree on the other side of the river at Deeping Lakes nature reserve today. Hidden away in a hole in a tree on a dull day at extreme range for my camera. Quite pleased with the results for #BitdsSeenIn2026

Running a trail in Central Canada in the winter. A very comfortable -5C. If it gets too mild it becomes more slippery.

As a school crossing guard on a major Provincial highway highway in Ontario, Canada, I'm finding those computer screens in modern vehicles just as dangerous as drivers on cell phones. Drivers are distracted and not paying attention to their surroundings on the road. It's scary for the vulnerable. 🚸

Sorry to hear about 2 Crows Brewing closing their doors. It would be challenging to compete and get market share from companies like Molson and Coors.
The craft breweries here in Ontario give so much to local community. I drink non-alcohol beer. Neat to see many craft breweries offering it. 🍺

So well done, Alison. In the busyness of life it is so easy to innocently let those important connections slide. I am sure your text would have meant a lot to your friend. πŸ™
