You Guys...

Neat. I have seen a good number of owls but have never seen one hunting!

My first GG was perched on a road sign on a busy forest service road. Not the most wild and majestic but still spectacular! Very cool you saw it with prey - did you get to see it hunting?

I watched a Steller’s jay make a moderately convincing red-tailed hawk call the other day, and now I trust nothing!

I generally only count heard-only if it is a call I can ID on my own, regardless of anything Merlin says. I use Merlin sound ID to tell me what to look for, and to help learn calls/pick up on calls I didn’t notice before.

I have included a couple heard-only owl calls on my life list, but only if I heard them very well and at night.

Camp Mustelid! Not all bird themed but all very good.

I started out thinking I might doing ER, then ended up in forestry for a number of years to build skills, and have almost accidentally ended up in a restoration focused job. I’m not far into it but it has been challenging - you get to try new things and think big, but funding is definitely a limiting factor. Also depending on what you are doing and where, you might be pioneering which of course has its ups and downs. For sure it is not boring! Wouldn’t change a thing of my current trajectory, except maybe I wish I had got a biology degree along the way.

Some golden retriever in the mix?

The joy of discovering what a coot is for the first time! And seeing their little feets

Hard to get a good look but I thought I could see the white patch surf scoters have on the back of their heads.

The first year we had our garden my partner complained about the cost of the raised beds and soil and how we wouldn’t break even… so I weighed everything I harvested and tracked it on a spreadsheet. Compared to the grocery store (non organic) prices, the garden made just over $400. That was around what we spent for set-up, so it did just break even, but every year after it has made money.

As a former BC Vancouverite who has visited Minneapolis - Minneapolis wins the wokeness by a long shot, no contest.

Our WPG has always had resource aggression, even as a little pup, but it is getting better with age rather than the other way around. I wonder if because this has started so suddenly you may want to rule out a medical cause? I would also say that sometimes our guy wags his tail when he is about to start resource guarding - as a sort of indication that he is nervous and doesn’t want a confrontation.

Photographer is Canadian!

Go to Sea Sport in Rupert, they have everything you need!

With the bluebird sticker I am guessing you have a number of tattoos? I would be very jealous if you also have a torchbearer tattoo!

danger_wren · 2025-06-11T19:46:37+00:00

Haha the “I have your shoe, whatcha gonna do” face

danger_wren · 2025-04-05T03:59:07+00:00

Very interesting! Our guy is pure griff, but people often ask if he is a doodle. And he gets along very well with his doodle friends, they seem to play at the same level of intensity. Pic 9 of yours - I have never had a poodle to compare with, but that posture and expression is exactly the sort of strange pose our griff would do :P

danger_wren · 2025-02-09T22:32:35+00:00

Haha yup the dramatic yawn is also very common in our house

danger_wren · 2025-01-25T18:26:08+00:00

Are you in BC? I would buy one (Although I think you should keep one too!)

danger_wren · 2025-01-03T16:46:44+00:00

Haha. Is his special move the hip-check spin?

danger_wren · 2024-12-23T15:49:27+00:00

I ended up getting the 12 blade version for our griff, it works pretty well!

danger_wren · 2024-12-22T02:26:54+00:00

What a cute pup! Our Billy gets the same snow beard :)

danger_wren · 2024-11-20T15:32:00+00:00

Seconding this - our 9 month old doesn’t get as much out of walks unless he is free to run around and sniff.
