Dogspotting 7

 The weather has been getting cooler and there are more dogs along the way.  I meet alot of friendly dogs and their humans in my travels, but only ones that allow me to take their photos do I write about.  I quite often meet them in unusual spots as well!  Enjoy!

Murphy is a gorgeous Australian Shephard with a gorgeous coat!  Murphy and his human were super friendly and we had a nice chat about her story.


Luna is a beautiful big Newfoundland dog that got all of the attention at one of the birding festival that I went to in the fall!


Tommy and Weaver are lovely Golden Doodles that like to take their humans for walks!  Tommy is a senior boy who still enjoys his walkies, and Weaver is his little sister.  A great pair!


I met this lovely Cane Corso Lady on one of my closer to home treks.  She was gorgeous and I was blown away by her lustrous wavy coat!  Her human was pleased that I asked about her as he says many people are scared of her because of her breed and size, but after I asked if she was friendly, he allowed her to approach me and she was one of the sweetest dogs that I have met!  


On another of my regular hikes I met a lovely duo, Winston (the cat!) and Daisy!  Luna is a gorgeous young Portugese Water Dog who does the 'ottering' real well.  This breed is know or standing up on its hind legs when checking something out.  its amazing!  I noticed right away the lady had a baby stroller and she introduced me to her 16 year old Winston!  She brings him out occasionally and lets him explore the beach.  He doesn't go far (she let him out for me to see) and seems so happy to be included in the walks.



I did meet a dog in a PP that was gorgeous and massive, and I did chat with the owners and asked if I cold take his picture, but I didn't get his name!  He is a gorgeous Samoyed!

Today I met a most lovely senior boy.  He is a husky that was adopted by the family from a northern fly in community north of the soo.  So sweet and friendly Timber is a 9 year old certified good boy.  His human told me all about his story, he had spent the first 5 years of his life as a working outside dog, 

On my lunch break today I met 2 lovely dogs being walked by their dog walker,  Blue is a gorgeous black husky mix with light blue eyes.  Norman is a very unique merle English spaniel with a most gorgeous coat.  Both of the dogs were super friendly with Blue having the more active energy.  Nice dogs and the dog walker has my dream job!

Always a wonderful surprise!

 This morning was a cold, windy very overcast morning in Sarnia.  I was torn on where to go on my before work expedition.  The light was poor for photography and I didn't fancy a long trek with this NW wind.  Blackwell Trails (or Twin Lake Park) was where my trusty Honda pointed to.  I was hoping to see a Common Loon Gavia immer as I ran into a lovely couple one day and they said that a pair always show up here in April.  No Loon, but as I was walking this fairly short trail my Merlin app picked up Yellow Rumped Warbler Setophaga coronata.  I noticed some movement in the brush and thought that I would never be able to see let alone photograph this pretty bird.  The YRWA gave me some good views and I was able to get some half decent photographs!  I was over the moon.  These early migrants have been back in town for a couple of weeks now, and I have heard them, but this was the first time I was able to get a good honest look and some photo...

Winter Solstice 2025 Trip to Lambton Shores

Image
 This year it has seemed like winter came early. We have had our share of snow and freezing rain and extreme wind chills!  Today it was -7 with a windchill of -14 with NW winds of 22/31 when my new friend Ronny and I set out for Lambton Shores.  I run into Ronny the Rooster occasionally in the field and I mentioned at one time that I was interested in the Pine Grosbeaks that have been sighted, but that I hadn't been able to get a photo of.  He had never seen one before and he was keen on accompanying me.   I have seen the PIGR twice this year, the conditions were not right and I was not fast enough for a photo.  It is an irruption year for winter finches, Pine Grosbeaks, Red Crossbills, White Winged Crossbills, Pine Siskin, Evening Grosbeak, Bohemian Waxwings and earlier the Red Breasted Nuthatches moved south quite a bit. An irruption is when the cones and seeds in the north are not good and they follow the food south where our cone crop has been exce...

October Big Day 2025: Lambton County

Image
This year I thought I'd attempt a Big Day!  This is where you bird from dawn to dusk on a specific day, ebird set it as October 11 this year.  I was going to go south to Pelee, as I hadn't birded that area since May, but considering the checklists and the fact that we have good birds here in Lambton, I thought I'd bird my home county. I mentioned it to my friend Deryl Nethercott as he is the expert on birding Lambton, especially Canatara Park.  He gave me some great tips and almost a heart attack as he jumped out of a bush in the dark as I was walking around Lake Chipigan!  He says, "Eva!  I'm gonna help you!"  After I recovered and my heart slowed down, I showed my appreciation and we settled in for a 2 hour walk around the park.   The weather was a bit brisk, not as cold as it had been at 8C and overcast.  The first bird that I heard was the Rooster at the Animal farm!  Then the Hermit Thrush and soon many many White Throated Sparrows!...
