White Tailed Deer

// November 30th, 2011 // No Comments » // Birds Hill Provincial Park, Boreal Forest, Canadian Shield, Mammals, Urban Nature, Whiteshell Provincial Park

Some recent photos of white tailed deer today.  These were taken in late October / early November and as I had hoped there were more bucks visible at this time of year.  It is rutting season and we need to be extra alert while driving in both the city (we have a large urban deer population in Winnipeg) and on the highways.  The deer run all over the place during the rut and many are killed in traffic.

Enjoy!

Pine Siskins

// October 3rd, 2011 // No Comments » // Birds of Manitoba, Boreal Forest, Canadian Shield, Whiteshell Provincial Park

Delicate little Manitoba birds that can be attracted to feeders.  They seem to love thistle and black oil sunflower.  These photos were taken in the Whiteshell area.

Enjoy!
