#AtlanticPuffin

...of course it benefits them that colonies are mostly on islands with no terrestrial predators but, as I already said, even if they have a large population with a wide range, these beautiful and now precious Waterfowl Birds still declined rapidly resulting in it being rated as vulnerable by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).

This environment in which we all living in has its own limits.

#RavensFamilyTree

Nobody's around yet.

It is still the nesting period but soon this tree will be invaded with many youngsters who will enjoy a big bonanza feast with parents, right in the middle of the valley.

Then will sleep all together on it the entire night with a full stomach.

#CanadianRedFox

A small Fox at dusk upon the North hill has spotted a little Red Squirrel for a potential dinner.

#MorningLurker

This is a very lucky morning lurker; a beautiful and powerful young male named JJ, for Jack Junior.

Lucky because he's experiencing all kind of situations around the house like; scratching mosquito net, emptying feeding station for smaller birds just for fun, waking me up at 5:00am with his knock knock on windows, etc…

…and animals are friends/family. What can I do?

#TurkeyBuzzard

I stumbled on this magnificent Urubu à Tête Rouge last evening. He was very far from me and the sundown was setting his way just in front of my leans so, not a 100% clear shot.

But here's to say… with the Northern climate around here forcing them to have more meat on their shoulders, these guys are larger in size than the neotropics one. They can easily weight up to 5 pounds given them a large wingspan of 70 inches which allows them to hoover for kilometers, even with no winds.

And wearing a war painted face mask with an impressive athletic stature like that, they can easily roam many territories.

#MigratingBirds

In Canada, Disturbing Peace of Migrating Birds can be costly.

Daily I see many bloggers that photograph animals most of them, birds. Disturbing peace/habits of migrating birds can cost a lot in Canada.

Some bloggers are willing to go way too far to get very nice clichés of birds for their blog admirers. The ECCC who works to protect wild species in their habitats in Canada, and to make sure law is respected, have caught one of these photographers who was abusing of pre-recording bird’s song to attract them in front of his camera to get better photography. This kind of practice in Québec, Canada, is not tolerated. Birds who are resting in their nest are disturbed by the sound and at the same time are more expose to potentially predators.

This kind of bad behavior has been observed twice from that same photographer in two National Reserve Fauna Parks and the man, who plead guilty, has received a much more salty fine.
