We went for a twilight walk along the Humber and found a Great Blue Heron; Great Egret condo living; and I think a Leopard Frog. Not pictured are the Black-Crowned Night Heron that was on the far side of the river, and the Eastern Cottontail Rabbit just outside the Magwood. It was a good walk.
I finished reading #BeastsOfTheSea by #IidaTurpeinen, the #Colbert Late Show Book Club selection for December 2025.
As someone who has worked in the environmental field for my entire career and who has seen devastating things, parts of this still break my heart.
