Scroll down if you want pictures immediately. If you want to hear me rant for a second, read away!
I currently live in a relatively large town (100,000+ ... small by some standards for sure, huge by others). Though I live on the shores of Lake Ontario there are few forested patches left for animals to survive.
Squirrels, raccoons, pigeons and a few other animals are abundant yet most of the natural fauna of this region aren't present due to the fragmentation created by this old city. My house (and many around me) are 100+ years old (it shows).
Furthermore our winters routinely dip below -20 to -30 celsius. Anyways, a few weeks ago I was surprised to see a large groundhog living in a small area of "trees" surounded by houses and streets. I was more shocked when today I saw the mother and her new babies......
Clearly I still need to work on my photo skills..... more reach (60mm max) may have helped - but no excuses.
