Decided to go for a walk at the Mountsberg Conservation area nearby. It’s a nice little park on its own, but significantly it is also the home of a bird rehabilitation centre (technically called the Raptor Centre, not to be confused with an arena for a Toronto-based basketball team). The birds are simultaneously very cute and incredibly deadly… the eagles have wingspan bigger than most people (myself included!), and the Golden Hawks are capable of hunting deer.
Deer! By a bird! It’s huge!
Anyway, it was a nice little walk, an opportunity to reconnect with a small piece of nature and to see some animals that don’t mind the cold too much (although it was quite cold). Got a few pretty pictures, but mostly just tried to be in the moment and say hello to some feathered dinosaurs.
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
