Two weekends ago I went up to Silent Lake Provincial Park which is just south of Bancroft. On the way there I stopped by Eels Creek which is picnic pull off from the road. Eels Creek has a river flowing through it that had a waterfall just before it goes under the bridge. The first picture is a long exposure of that waterfall. I had a neutral density filter on my camera and my shutter was open for 4-5 seconds. The second picture of this post is from inside the park. The trail that I was on had quite a few very large trees and this picture is looking up from the base of one of them looking up at the forest canopy. The third picture is from the same trail, the trail passes by a beaver pond which is where I found this frog. The last picture is back at Eels Creek but it from the picnic spot on the other side of the road. This is looking downstream away from the waterfall.
Recently I went on a walk in a local wooded area, for most of the walk I didn't see anything other than some Black-Capped Chickadees until near the end when the first came alive. I saw four different species of woodpecker and a giant Raven. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a photo of all of the birds that were there. Then on the walk home from the wooded area, I came across a group of house finches feeding on some berries in a tree, where one posed perfectly in the bright winter sun for me. Mallard Duck from a previous walk. One of many trees with signs of woodpecker activity. Black-Capped Chickadee. Downey Woodpecker. Pileated Woodpecker. Black-Capped Chickadee. Pileated Woodpecker.
