I took this picture of Graceful Psathyrella many years ago at the Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary. #fungi #mushrooms

I got to see this awesome Stellar's Sea Eagle at the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg a few years back. #birds #zoos #winnipeg

A teeny tiny Deceiver mushroom had popped up at the Mer Bleue Bog a month or so ago during my last walk. #mushrooms #fungi

So I've only started into the wide world of IDing mushrooms. I took this picture years ago but recently came across it. I believe this to be Cinnabar Polypore. #mushrooms #fungi

I believe this is a Short-Billed Dowitcher. I took this picture at Montreal's Biodome years ago. #birds #zoos #montreal

Common Greenshield Lichen. This stuff grows on trees and sometimes rocks. #lichens #merbleue

Honestly, I think this Shoebill Stork is probably one of the coolest birds I've seen at a zoo. #birds #zoos

Birch Polypore is a really cool fungi, considering it almost exclusively grows on only birch trees. #mushrooms #fungus

Had some luck seeing some ducks while in Sudbury over the weekend. Caught this female Common Goldeneye flying off. Another bird to add to my logs! #birds #ducks #sudbury

No posts over the next few days. Heading to Sudbury to see some friends and plan on doing some nature walks there. :)

There is no lack of lichens when visiting Newfoundland. I saw all sorts of them everywhere we went. Including this Beard Lichen. #lichens #newfoundland

A Sarus Crane at, you guessed it, Disney's Animal Kingdom. #birds #zoos

I see that second scene a lot on this one rural road just outside Ottawa, every spring. It's awe-inspiring when they all take off from the farmer's field!

So I'm all out of wildflowers to share, so I thought I'd move on to more unusual plants. This is Trumpet Cup Lichen, the picture taken while in Northern Newfoundland last spring. #lichens #newfoundland

Alpine's Sedge doesn't look like much but it's a native to alpine regions throughout the world. #wildflowers #bloomscrolling
