Wildlife Adventure! October 2023

We have just arrived home from our autumnal Algonquin Park adventure! Here’s the highlights, set to a song I composed called “When All Is Won”.

But first: my funny woodcock video is making people smile lately. Enjoy!

Algonquin Park Wildlife Highlights — June 2023

A video compliation of some of our best wildlife viewings during our Algonquin adventure. Music by me.

Algonquin Park Wildlife Highlights

Willow and I recently went to Algonquin Park for 10 nights, and experienced so many amazing wildlife moments! I have created a video compilation of some of my favourite encounters.

Algonquin Adventure in June

We don’t usually go to Algonquin Park in June, due to heat and bugs — both of which are too much for us to bear. But we had some business to attend to up north so naturally we made a trip out of it. We ended up seeing a whopping 23 moose! The key to our moose success was getting up at 2:30am to drive through highway 60 just as dawn was coming up. 5:30-7:30am is the perfect moosing hour.

A Different Algonquin Park Adventure

Sometimes you just don’t see the moose! But I saw so much more, even while not seeing any wildlife. This time, Algonquin Park let me see myself.

Willow and I went down Hay Creek Road in Whitney several times, because it’s like a private bit of the park. It’s quiet up there in the hydro-fields, and we walked along a road not often used. The next day we went again, and I saw our footprints were still there. But now, they were joined with the tracks of many animals who had walked with us, albeit separated by a little span of time.

So I walked down that road again, looking for my prize: the track of an animal that had actually stepped right into one of our footprints. I didn’t know if I’d find anything or if the photos would be meaningful to anyone other than myself. But I did find exactly what I was looking for. And that is what Algonquin Park always gives me, moose or not.
