Bald Eagle over Nipissing

Ontario Wild Birds

We are on vacation in near-Northern Ontario, and so just a few wildlife pictures to share today:

Before we left we visited the garden centre. At first sight, there is nothing too exciting to see……

A little closer in, a mother duck sits on her eggs among the perennials.

I’m not sure where mother duck’s husband is but I’m sure she’d rather be on a lake in Northern Ontario than in a parking lot garden centre.

We were happy to see the bald eagle again this year over Lake Nipissing

While this year’s pictures of the Eagle weren’t any closer – at least my husband has a steady hand with the camera – in contrast to last year’s shaky photos by me!
