Yesterday the highlight in #Bobsbackyard was watching this fox saunter through, twice. He even sat for a bit, but unfortunately with his back to me, so I missed out on what would have been a great photo-op! #fox #Ancaster #urbannature #HamOnt

A beautiful red fox enters my snowy backyard, from behind the spruce tree. He or she is looking to the right.

A beautiful red fox in my snowy backyard, starting to walk towards the house, such that he or she is coming towards me but with its head looking down.

A beautiful red fox sitting in my snowy backyard, with its back to me, looking away. Its fur is thick and luxurious.

I was just informed that yesterday was International Owl Awareness Day. I wasn't aware! Here's a pair of Great Horned Owls that I saw this past winter. #birds #birding #owls #HamOnt

A pair of great horned owls perched high in a white pine. What I believe is the female (larger bird) is on a higher branch, in the sunlight, facing directly towards me. The male is in the shade on a lower branch.

At gym earlier today. Have lost 40 of my pandemic pounds (been on WW the last 8 months). Also have that Hamilton Literary Awards ceremony (my latest novel, To Refrain From Embracing, was shortlisted) mid-Dec. And can finally get back in my absent-minded-writer tweed jacket! 🤷🏻‍♂️ #hamont #canlit #books

Peekaboo! Yellow-bellied Sapsucker peeking at me from behind our redbud #Bobsbackyard #birds #birding #Ancaster #HamOnt #woodpecker #sapsucker

A zoomed in, close shot of our backyard redbud tree, with a large branch on the left and the main trunk on the right. In the small gap between the two is a yellow-bellied sapsucker peeking at me. All you can see is its yellowish upper chest and face, with a black and white pattern and a red crown.

Yesterday, I was quite pleased to get this side by side comparison shot of Hairy and Downy woodpeckers on my new birch log suet feeder. #birds #Bobsbackyard #Ancaster #HamOnt

Both females, a hairy woodpecker on the left side and the much smaller downy woodpecker on the right side of a birch log suet feeder. Their markings are virtually identical. However, the hairy has a significantly larger beak in proportion to its head size than the downy has.

Happy Winter! The crow was back yesterday during the snow storm and looking in the window at me #winter #birds #Bobsbackyard #Ancaster #HamOnt

An American Crow on the top of my backyard fence in a snowstorm, right outside my living room window, looking in at me. He's very large and all black, and the background is snow covered spruce boughs and a shrub with some red berries still remaining on it

Look who's back!! I'm grinning as much as he is. Always a thrill when the Baltimore Orioles return! #Bobsbackyard #birding #birds #HamOnt #Ancaster

A Baltimore Oriole has arrived almost a week early, and is scarfing down jelly from my oriole feeder. His beak is open, making him look like he's grinning and happy.

This pair of Eastern Bluebirds make a very handsome couple. At the risk of anthropomorphizing, I love the way she is looking at him adoringly #bluebirds #lovebirds #birds #Ancaster #HamOnt

A pair of bluebirds on a bare branch with a cloudless blue sky background. He's sitting up a bit higher on the left side, facing out to the right. She's down the main branch a bit lower on the right side, looking at him with an expression of pure love. They both have white underbellies and rusty brown chests and throats, though her colours are more muted. Her head and back is a soft bluish gray whereas his are bright blue.

#HamOnt: oh no we can't build 60 units of affordable housing on an underused parking lot and ensure 12 units will go to veterans and that they'll be accessible to people priced out of the housing market won't somebody think of the defenceless cars waaahhhhhhhhhh New York:
