Aaron Caskey-DemaretHad some visitors last night. Luckily they didn't mess up the lawn. (Sound on, they are mostly off camera.)
FeralFoodMaggie likes when I water the garden, the harmless land bound mammal that disturbs bugs. #VeggieGardening #gardeningau #SuburbanWildlife
John GildaEnough ranting for the day.
Here is a #NoKings day fox. We (non-fox experts) think this is a female who may be pregnant.
We see another fox interacting with her on an ongoing basis. We (non-fox experts) think he is her younger mate.

We tossed some cashews out into the back yard and it turned into an exciting. The crows gobbled them up, but the squirrels buried them (when burying a nut, apparently SMOOSHING your face into the ground is required).

One slept while the other gave the clear hint it would prefer I moved on
Our squirrels are big fans of popcorn. Makes one wonder if they have a hidden movie theater in the trees somewhere! ;-)

It’s always fun seeing Miss Victoria Fox on our Nest camera’s recordings.

AlsoPaisleyCat 🇨🇦So, Canada Geese aka cobra chickens are well known for their aggressive territoriality.
Wild turkeys are larger and relentlessly persistent however. Most of us would not want to be on the wrong side of one. Come spring, we give turkey hens wandering about with their chicken-sized fluffy grey chicks a wide berth.
While they are native to Ontario originally, wild turkeys were extirpated from the Canada by 1909. Mid twentieth century efforts to restore wild turkeys in the United States were picked up in Canada.
Reintroduction for Ontario efforts of the mid 1980s were successful and current efforts focus on distributing the population and maintaining a population for hunting.
Ottawa, with its extensive greenbelt, has many natural corridors for wild turkeys.
A major intersection with high traffic volume in Ottawa unfortunately seems to have become a regular hangout for some turkeys to the misfortune of pedestrians, especially if a pedestrian appears to be trying to walk away from them.
A pair of them decided that they needed to follow a someone this weekend and someone caught it on video.
Enjoy.
