Coyote

This appears to be coyote scat.  Found in Mount Pleasant cemetery.  It is dried out and only the hair of mammals remains.  The hair is light.  Wondering if the hair belongs to a deer.

I bought Ontario strawberries today!  The first of the season.  And yes, in case you are wondering, they do melt in your mouth!

Red-tailed Hawk and Breakfast

The picture below shows a hawk eating breakfast.  Two baby hawks were in a tree close by screaming at the hawk eating breakfast.  I don't think the baby hawks know how to hunt yet and therefore still rely on the parents to bring them food.

Coyote

Mount Pleasant cemetery was closed at the beginning of the pandemic.  Eventually it reopened its gates 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm, daily.  Effective today it is open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Sundays only.  Early this morning I visited the cemetery.  Immediately, two coyotes came to greet me. If  the coyote in the photo below had a caption bubble it would likely read: Huh?  What are you doing in here?


To prove a point, the coyote quickly marked its territory with scat.

When our lives tilted, before the world turned entirely sideways, you asked me if I would miss you.  At the time, I could only imagine how I would feel.  Today I know how it feels to really miss you.

Red-tailed Hawk: Fledge Day

All three red-tailed hawks have fledged.  Today is the first time I observed one of the baby hawks fly from the tree that houses their nest to another tree.  This photo is of one hawk's first flights! Exciting evening in Mount Pleasant cemetery.  Now the fun begins watching them learn to catch a squirrel.

Red-Tailed Hawk

This photo shows two baby red-tailed hawks.  They have learned to branch but still are unable to fly away from this tree to another tree.  With branching, a hawk can fly from the nest to a branch and from one branch to another branch.
