Glen Haffy C.A. and a Backyard Cooper’s Hawk: Late Dec. 2021

I last visited the Gen Haffy Conservation Area near Mono Mills in June 2020.

Here are some photos from that day:

Glen Haffy is located within the Humber River Watershed, at the junction of Ontario’s two most dominant geological features – The Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine. 

Here is how it looked on an overcast December 2021 morning:

Some botany:

During a recent light snowfall, a Cooper’s Hawk alighted in our backyard and I took these photos through the window pane:

NATURE POETRY

O World, thou choosest not the better part!
It is not wisdom to be only wise,
And on the inward vision close the eyes,
But it is wisdom to believe the heart.           – George Santayana (1863–1952)
