Ottawa River
Hummingbird
Blue Jays
|
Dunrobin is located just outside Ottawa next to the
Ottawa River. It's an amazing area - still only sparsely developed -
there is wildlife all around. Driving to/from Kanata at dusk it's usual
to see deer grazing. The backyard of the house was well visited by Blue
Jays, Hummingbirds, Cardinals and Finches as well as squirrels and
raccoons attempting to empty out the bird feeders. The Blue Jays are
quite bold and love peanuts in the shell which they either whisk off for
storage over winter, or grip with their feet and hammer their way
through the shell. If you place several peanuts on the deck, they will
carefully lift and weigh each shell until they find the heaviest. |
