Oshawa Creek

Today, my dad and I got up early and went to Oshawa Creek. It was quite cold this morning (-3 degrees celcius). Inspite of the freezing weather we were still able to see many species of wildlife. So here are some of the things we saw; Yellow-beiled Sapsucker, Hairy Woodpecker, Cape May Warbler, Franklin's Sparrow, Northern Cardinal, Common Raven, American Crow, White-breasted Nuthatch and more!

I also saw other animals courting. We saw a brown Mink which obviously had just come out of the water because it had a small fish in its mouth. I at first thought it was an otter but after we realized it was a Mink.

Lots and lots of people were fishing for Rainbow Trout but, not many of them caught any fish. Maybe we will bring our fishing rods next time?

Today is also my aunt Ruth, not cousin's, birthday. SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT RUTH!

Yesterday I watched The Living Lord's Supper at church. But, I didn't see The Ten Commandments yet, maybe I will watch it later. Tonight I'm going to my aunt Lori's house for Easter dinner.

Everyone, have a good Easter weekend!

In My Backyard

Yesterday, I saw two Northern Cardinals. I watched them mate. I also saw a plump Mourning Dove roosting. I have two bird feeders but they only visit the hopper feeder, not the platform feeder. Those Northern Cardinals are very pretty.

Two days ago I saw a flock of tame Black-capped Chickadees.

I want body, soul and spirit and mon@rch to see this blog the most. I have started e-mailing body, soul and and soon I'm going to get in contact with mon@rch.

One time when my dad and I went for a walk we saw Black-capped Chickadees and Downy Woodpeckers.
