Wildlife on the Grand River Southern Ontario

 

Cicada hatching out	White Snowy Egret	Red Fox

 "We have had trips where wildlife seems to be everywhere... wild turkeys fly in front of us... deer splash across... foxes run the shoreline... hawks dive-bomb eagles... beaver swim beside us... things that people only expect when journeying north to Algonquin.
