Nature Notes
Wow! Just got back from Tobermoray and exploring Georgian Bay. What an incredible place to visit. Hiked out to the Grotto where the water was so turquoise blue you would think you were in the tropics. On one hike we were treated to a Massassauga Rattlesnake slowly crossing the trail, a red-eyed vireo actively building its nest using shredded birch bark and all the while being serenaded by Black-Throated Green Warblers. Even though the month of May is Orchid season, we did see 5 different species of orchids along with 5 different carnivorous plants and my favorite fern, the Maidenhair Spleenwort. Oh, did I mention the Fabulous rocks? July 19,2011
