Coopers Hawk

If you live in Mississauga or just about anywhere in the HGTA you probably do not live far from this aerial predator. This is the story of how we lost a species and then managed to bring it back to our neighborhoods. After this talk you will be sure to notice this hawk when your paths cross.

Of Wolves

The Riverwood Conservancy
"I was surrounded once by a pack of wolves. It was 1965. Algonquin Park. I could hear the scratching of their claws on the highway as they circled me." And so began my life long interest with this iconic predator. It would grow to include all predators but the wolf is the crown jewel. Black bears are relatively easy to see, grizzlies require more work but to see a wolf in the wild? Why that is pure gold!
