  The above photos are from yesterday afternoon while out in a local farm field with friends who are advanced falconers. The wind was blowing at near gale forces but REM, the Northern Goshawk flew his laps and did extremely well despite encounters with a Great Horned Owl, a Peregrine Falcon, Red Tail Hawks, several Eagles, Turkey Vultures and even a Merlin. Thanks to everyone who was there to observe and help keep a watchful eye on Rem!

  OK, so around these parts many gardeners despise the native deer population because they are so fond of the delicious flowers and assorted greenery that thrive in peoples yards... They are welcome in my yard along with the birds!
First photo is Mom (native Island Blacktail deer, and second one munching on some new sprouts is last years fawn.... She had two but I think this is the only survivor.          These photos are just a handful of glimpses at the incredible array of creatures all living together at ButterFly Gardens. I was so impressed today with my visit there that I had to share with you. If you live on Vancouver Island or come here for a visit I think you should consider spending a coupole hours there. an Amazing place!   My Hummingbirds are loving it!    |
