It's A White Christmas

Fluffy snow drifting down on our quiet city this morning. The house is quiet too.
It will be a busy day once I get started. I offered to cook an impromptu holiday dinner for friends who lost power in the ice storm and don't have it back yet, and can't host their traditional festive one. It won't be as grand, but the house will be warm and there will be food.
Such beautiful devastation.

The Hawk Lives

They took care of it until his eye healed and released him back to the wild last week.
Sometimes good things happen.

Birds of Prey in the City

A wounded specimen of this magnificent species - Northern Goshawk - landed, unintentionally I'm sure, on my doorstep this morning, and was taken to a wildlife rescue centre shortly after I called the city. I am grateful that we live in a city that cares enough, but the truth is this center operates solely on donations. If you can, call Toronto Wildlife Center and give them some money. They need every penny, and no amount is too small.
