Another gentle, feel-good winter read 🐦❄️

Feeding birds in winter isn’t just a lifeline for them — it’s good for us, too.

Brighter days, calmer minds, real connection to nature (and even citizen science!).

Always meet the most fabulous friends on #DogWalks #WalkingWithKids !

Also got to see two pileated woodpeckers, and saw one feeding the other! I have been working with the pup on not barking or running at birds. Still struggling with grackles but she's getting better! Today she spotted the first woodpecker and then sat, lay quietly on command. I will turn her into a bird watcher yet!

Started a #NatureJournal this fall. Even in the suburbs there is much to see and explore. Learning to identify #birds and trees while practicing #sketching and #watercolour painting. Hope this is the first of many journals. #OttawaNature #Ottawa
