Killbear 2025

Here are some of my favourite images from this years annual camping trip to Killbear Provincial Park with family every spring.

I'm up by 5:30 every morning and take off on my bike birding but you never know what you will run into, or get run over by. It was a close call when the Killbear welcome committee suddenly crossed the road in front of me out near the main gate.

Red Fox, not as common as in past years, are occasionally seen early morning. Other mammals around Killbear include Fisher, Black Bear, Porcupine, Mink and White Tail Deer.

Rattlesnake and Eastern Foxsnake are also fairly common and can be easily found with a little effort. This particular Rattler was heard before I seen him only a few feet away.

Always cool to observe and hear calling are the numerous Barred Owls that call Killbear home. The most we have ever observed on an evening owl prowl was fourteen.

I've got some really cool campfire videos featuring Barred Owls that I will have to upload sometime.

Some of the many birds observed early morning around Killbear. It is fairly easy in the spring to reach a morning eBird list around 60-70 species.
