Inside Caledon, Ontario

Some more Purple Finch pictures taken in my Caledon backyard by my fiance. See Wikipedia for more info on Purple Finchs. First photo shows a close up of it eating, the second photo is of a male and female purple finch and the third photo is of recent late snow storm in Caledon, Ontario which […]

Just a quick picture I took the other day in the Zehrs parking lot in Bolton as I stopped to get some groceries. I thought the sunset looked neat and snapped a few pictures. I am glad now that sun is finally staying out later in evenings, much better to look at this than coming […]

Its definitely starting to look and feel more like spring now and after this past winter it can’t come soon enough. I’m starting to notice lots of birds coming back now, Robins which is a good sign of spring as well as Purple Finch’s (pictured above) which I snapped in my Caledon backyard. The Purple […]

I took this photo of the bright moon in my caledon backyard a week ago. The weather was a little warmer and the moon light was creating a neat effect over the tree line so continuing along with my experimenting of night time photography I took some shots. The photo above is actually a blended […]

My fiance just happened to notice this coyote out of the corner of her eye this morning as we looked out into the back field behind our house. Up until now we have heard them at night from time to time howling so we knew they came close sometimes but haven’t actually seen back there […]

It was warm this morning so I went out for a quick drive hoping I might see some deer but struck out on that. I did however catch this Blue Jay on Humber Station in northern part of Caledon. I would have liked to have gotten a closer shot but this was the best I […]

An excerpt from the Macleans article: Certainly affluence helps shape Canada’s statistically safest place, Caledon, Ont., a scenic, semi-rural suburb northwest of Toronto. It is, […]

This small little woodpecker has been in my backyard for quite a while but I haven’t been able to get a good picture of him until now. I am not entirely sure but I think it is either a female Downy Woodpecker or a female Hairy Woodpecker, if you know please let me know. I […]

I’ve noticed a lot of crows in the Caledon area the last couple weeks, they are ugly birds but I thought I’d take a picture of one anyways. Apparently Ontario’s crow population has been on the rise for the past decade and several communities have battled with the birds. In Chatham, Ontario for instance, 160,000 […]
