Fox - Release on Sylvan Ave. May 2012


Thanks to neighbourhood Irene Toronto Wildlife Centre was called and were able to capture the Sylvan Ave Fox.  He had a terrible case of mange. 
Thank you Andrew and Chris for coming to the rescue.
Above Irene opens the door for the fox to be released back in the wild.
My thanks to Phil Lameira for taking the photos of the release.

He didn't waste any time



Off to neighbours house - gone

The fox came back twice to smell the ground and area.
Many of us sat on the deck and watched him come across the bluffs.
Since his release I have heard from all three neighbours that he has been around the yards.
Last night at 9pm he visited one neighbour.



Thank you to everyone who particpated.

Mom and baby Moose May 15 at 6:30am

We got up at 5:45am so we would be on the road to look for moose at 6am.
This young moose was on the right side of the hill in full sun light.
Julie and I went out and started to take photos






Suddenly my mom started knocking on the car window and pointing to the side of the hill. Over the hill come the female moose


She went right up to the baby and they nuzzled.  This is a full frame shot. 

For over 1/2 hour we watched the moose stop and eat in the marsh, wander further down the road



And then into the bush.
We saw 6 total that morning.
