#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.

#SleepyDoves

Most of the time year after year, when I look into these woods, there are sleepy Mourning Doves around.

But in the middle of Winter Season, when food is getting scarce, Predators are more vigilant than ever in the Valley and Doves will move on higher secluded spruces going up to 60 to 70 feet high for a maximum of security. Terrestrial Predators like Wolverines will never climb that high for a feast but some Raptors like Eagles, Hawks and specifically Barrel Owls at night will do. And half of them will unfortunately contribute to the food chain.

Now it is finally Spring Season and as I see, by the regularly flock passing by over my head, 3 quarters of them have managed their ways to escape enemies. Meaning way more of them will be seen this Season resting in the area of the Grand Valley.

#RescueChopper

In solidarity with people affected by climate change's effects:

Once the location has been determined as not accessible by land; Rescue-Chopper is always the best solution you can get in case of emergency evac.

:Relevant footage from last year's #TheDayAfter because yes, climate "is still" changing.

#IntoTheWoods

Somewhere in the Mountainous Parts of the Northern Hemisphere.

#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?

#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.
