Good day folks, hope everything's going well for everyone. It is Spring Season but not around here. At 6:15am the temperature is at -11°C with a windsheild of -20°C so, it pretty much feels like it's still Winter. And it means that I don't have to worry about shaving myself because either way, in the SV or the Cabin, I'll be alone with Basco the entire day.

Also that I'll have plenty of time to get familiar with my new Camera and all the equipment bought with it. The old one has been exposed too long to bad weather conditions.

So after all. It's going to be a magnificent day.

#Dark-eyed Junco

As the end of April approaches, this beautiful blizzard of Snowbirds is about to leave our area to the Grand North regions. It still amazes me that for such a small and fragile species most of them choose to go to their winter range origin, in cold temperature, to breed.

…with this persistent Winter that just finally starting to go away, while most wildlife have not much to eat, a little hand with a slice of fresh pork meat to feed the youngsters, cannot hurt.

Kids got to eat something to be quiet otherwise they will attract all kinds of predators snooping down the valley.

#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.

#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.
