Algonquin Wildlife and City Folk

I'm sure there are lots of birds on Ontario's South Coast today but I'm not there to see them.


Snow conditions are better
today for Karen Wood

We’re up in Port Stanton
(http://www.portstanton.com/) for a few days.  Karen reports that the cross country skiing is better than it was in February which is somewhat surprising given the temperature is currently 3 degrees.

Sometimes when we are here our adult kids use the place as a jumping off point to go up to Algonquin Provincial Park and do some birding.

That was the case last November when my older Burlington based son (who used to work at Long Point), my younger Port Rowan based son (who takes the pictures) and your blogger encountered wildlife and “citidiots” in Canada’s oldest provincial park.  Here is the story which originally appeared in Forever Young News.

If this interests you there is an earlier YouTube effort that documents a late winter trip to Algonquin in 2011.
