Grandsons meet Trudeau at Normandy...

My grandsons William Bailey, 18, (above right), and Spencer Bailey, 15 (below right), of Aurora, Ontario, met with Prime Minister Trudeau a week ago in France at the 80th anniversary of Canadian troops landing at Juno Beach, France, in 1944. The lads were suitably impressed with all they saw on a tour of the historic site...an experience never to be forgotten.

The eye of an eagle...

Photo by BarrytheBirder

If humans had vision as good as an eagle, we would be able to see an ant on the ground from the roof of a ten story building. We would also have brilliant colour vision, UV vision and nearly a 360 degree range of view.

'Hummer" finds apartment feeder in 5 days...

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

(Archilochus colubris)

at Delmanor Retirement Apartments in Aurora

It's been two years since I moved from King City to Delmanor Retirement Apartments in Aurora and I have finally got around to hanging up a hummingbird feeder on the balcony of my new Delmanor friend Pat. Pat's apartment is on the third floor and I wondered how long it would take a hummingbird to find the feeder.

Well, it took just a week, and a hummingbird is now making dozens of trips a day to get a the sugar-water nectar. What a delightful surprise for Pat or any visitor, including me, to sit a few feet away from this charming bird-watchers' presentation. Probably more pictures to come in the near future.
