Wow, it's been over a year since my last Blog Post. Every year I make Resolutions to be better and more consistent, and every year I don't. I am my own worst enemy.
This years is different. Why? Can't explain it, but I have a renewed sense of self. 2013 was an eventful year for me. A lot of life changes, changes that have helped me reach a sense of rest that I was missing. I feel grounded.
I have some ideas for myself and my photography. I will be launching a new website for one, but there are some other exciting things on the horizon as well.
This year is about bringing everything I do back to me, making me happy, and taking everything in a direction that makes me smile.
I am laying plans, and will be doing my best to stick with them.
One plan - to post on the blog once a month. Would I like more - of course, but I want a quantifiable goal that I can reach.
Today is March's official Blog Post - if I want to add more then I will ;)
(Yes, I lie to myself even though I know I am doing it, knowing one's self is half the battle lol)
After all that - Here is a photo of Echo.
Echo is a female Eastern Screech Owl. She resides at Mountsberg Raptor Centre - Conservation Halton in Campbellville, Ontario. I currently volunteer at Mountsberg Raptor Centre once a week. I find it very rewarding and I am forever grateful to all of the staff at Mountsberg for all of the patience and kindness they have shown me.
There are currently 30 birds in residence at Mountsberg, most of them viewable on the walkway, so stop by next time you have the chance. Maple Syrup Festival is running in the Sugar Bush .....mmmm maple.
Check out Mountsberg Raptor Centre and Mountsberg Conservation Area
Echo will typically greet me with an angry/annoyed chatter when approaching for the first time. After saying hello, I whistle for her. I can do a pretty fair screech owl imitation. Some days I am completely ignored but most days I can encourage her to call back and have our own small owl conversation. It's brings a smile to my face every time she answers me. :)
Does she not look like she is grinning? lol
