happy birthday to all the tbs in the southern hemisphere!
Wolfbane Flower?
I'm not an expert in wild flowers but these look like the wolfbane ones who's most species are extremely poisonous and must be dealt with, very carefully. They are also native to the mountainous parts of the Northern Hemisphere which we are in so, just taking pictures for now.
#CanadianRedFox
Night ramble for Canadian Red Fox.
#RedFox
Another visit from a Red Fox who's probably looking for a little Red Squirrel to chase. We've seen three of these Squirrels around the house, eating sunflower seeds for birds the entire morning.

#LunaMoth
Beautiful Extremely Rare Nocturnal Endangered Luna Moth. Also called the American Moon Moth. Apparently If you have seen one of these live Luna Moths, you should consider yourself very lucky.
They are the largest of Moths in North America with a wingspan of 4.5 inches and can exceed 7.
#RedWingedBlackbird
Mature Red-winged Blackbird enjoying some black oil sunflower seeds. And this little one is probably new in the area; he’s so stressed out that I had to slow down the speed while remastering the video.

#EveningRaven
A visit from a new friend today and looks like it's love at first sight to me. I'm so happy to see these beautiful species near the house now. It's a powerful big juvenile Canadian Northern Raven who really likes what he's been served here in our feeding stations this morning.
This big guy is easily frightened from the leans of my camera like most wild animals. should I say. He tries to hide his head between is shoulders like a poor fella. And then behind those branches of that, more or less, 80 feet tall dead spruce. Even making some small noises/imitations of other animals, like a frog, to divert attention from him. So cute. I have many videos of that kind of situation but unfortunately to big to upload here.
Welcome friend.
#BlueJays
The molting period for Northern Blue Jays has started. Sometimes they lose their feathers progressively and some other time, it's their entire head at once.
#AtlanticPuffin
Encounter with an official pair of Atlantic Puffins, symbol for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, while on our way to visit some friends.
Even if the Atlantic Puffin has a large population with a wide range, this species declined rapidly resulting in it being rated as vulnerable by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
What helps them is that colonies are mostly on islands, with no terrestrial predators.

#TurkeyBuzzard
Beautiful visit this morning from a Turkey Buzzard which has probably been attracted by the Raven's breakfast.
Due to the rough climate around here, Vultures in the Northern Hemisphere are larger in size than the neotropics one. It forces them to have more meat on their shoulders. They can weight up to 5 pounds. Their wingspan is around 70 inches and even with no wind, like this morning, they're able to hoover for kilometers just like that.
These guys are very impressive.
#AtlanticPuffin
...of course it benefits them that colonies are mostly on islands with no terrestrial predators but, as I already said, even if they have a large population with a wide range, these beautiful and now precious Waterfowl Birds still declined rapidly resulting in it being rated as vulnerable by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
This environment in which we all living in has its own limits.
