Seeing that the end of the year is upon us, I thought I would put together a post of some of my nature highlights of the year. Many of those are birds, but there are are many other aspects of the natural world that deserve to be included as well. The following photos represent the highlights of various posts of each individual month. Some photos are poor quality, but I associate with a memorable experience. Some photos are of common species, but are ones that I feel show that species in a good way.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read my posts over the past year and I have very much enjoyed following along on many other nature blogs. I may not post as regularly this year as I have done in the past, but when I do, I will try my best to make it worth your while to read. Best wishes for the new year and hopefully you will enjoy getting outdoors and discovering Ontario's birds and wildlife.
