Come on Sudburians, this Santa Clause sits out in his chair every night collecting food for the Sudbury food bank. Drop by Woodbine Ave in New Sudbury and see the lights, donate some food and meet Santa. We need more people like him in this city. Please pass this post on

Happy Saturday everyone!

A fisher is of the mustelid (weasel) family and relies heavily on a diet of porcupine.

You met them lifting a brick or wet object, you may have even felt disgusted and even wondered what nature thought when it created them. Well, we're telling you... that oniscids, better known as smokes ", are a suborder of terrestrial isopod crustaceans whose function in creating is neither more nor less than removing heavy metals as mercury, cadmium and earth's lead, extremely harmful to humans. They contribute to the cleaning of floors and aquifers and once again confirm the wisdom of nature! Don't hurt them See more

Always place injured birds that can not stand up by themselves in a "doughnut" and place them in a box. Do not give them any food or water. Today's intake - a N...orthern Mockingbird. It was found on the ground last night and was laying on its back. The person did put the bird in a box but it could not stand and was left laying on its side. The finder also dripped some water down the bird's mouth before calling for help. While on the phone, I had them make a nice "doughnut" for the bird so it could be in an upright natural position. After they did that they said the bird looked more comfortable and alert. Unfortunately the mocker came in "mouth breathing." It is hard to say if the mouth breathing is from being aspirated when it was given water or if it was from the impact. SO - Please keep birds supported upright in a box (as shown in the photo below) not laying on their side. Birds have air sacs along the sides of their body that expand and contract when the the bird breathes. Injured birds should be gently supported so air sacs can expand and contract and the bird can breathe easily. Do not try to give any food or water - unless you are instructed otherwise by your rehabber. You can very easily aspirate an injured bird and that alone can kill a bird. Help save a bird, feel free to share. #helpwildbirds

Top Images of 2020 - #23 Before December, 2019, Simon and I have never photographed a lynx before. Actually, that’s not true. We had one photo of one on ...the road, about 5 km away, looking the other way. So really, it doesn’t count. For whatever reason after seeing and photographing our first lynx last December, the year 2020 decided that lynx were going to be our thing. We’re very excited to show high school students the photo and video we were able to gather this year of the very elusive feline and demonstrate how food chains operate, why you need to know about politics in order to protect this species, and why cats are just so awesome.
