Jan 12, 2010 - First update of 2010!

This morning I witnessed a falcon crying loudly at the south end of the property. Not sure who it was but it did appear to be an adult and no second falcon was spotted at the time. Clearly, Mom has found somewhere warmer to spend some of her time lately, she's only seen every few days around here.

Secondly, if you're interested I had a cool outing this past weekend at the Leslie Spit on the Toronto waterfront. I found a few Great Horned Owls and otherwise enjoyed the day being outside. Visit the photo blog to see more Owl shots.

Lastly, if you're Canadian, you've likely heard about the uprising against our Prime Minister regarding his self-centered decision to prorogue parliament. I rarely post anything political here, but today I'll make an exception.

I'm very proud to see Canadians of all political affiliations joining the online Facebook group Canadians Against the Proroguing of Parliament and discussing this issue.

We're normally a pretty quiet group of folks, but finally we're speaking up, learning more and getting involved in what our politicians are doing. If you're on Facebook I suggest joining this group, or at least reading some of the info available there.

I'm hopeful this may be the first time that social media will influence democracy in Canada for the better. I will definitely be attending Toronto's January 23rd Rally at Dundas Square. If you're elsewhere in Canada check the Facebook group for rally info in your city.
