A Boultbee Road resident captured a robin emerging from its shell in the nest on his patio. The sky around Lac des Roches is filled with demanding chicks, the loudest being the hungry baby crows. Eagles and hawks seem to be the predominant predators although humans and family pets can certainly cause havoc with the young families inhabiting the area.

A Boultbee Road resident recently rescued a frightened fawn attempting to swim across the lake after being spooked by a resident dog. While our backyards are acting as wildlife nurseries, we must all do our part to protect the young, ours and theirs.
