We are going to take a break from digital media and people for awhile and slide into holiday hibernation mode here in Canada.
I want to thank all of those wonderful students and people who brought so much joy into my life over the past year. Getting up in the morning would be nothing without you!
If I could give each of you a box of gifts it would certainly hold lots of good health and ikigai – a source for your own happiness and waking up and seeing the wonder in the world. I would give the world calm and a truck load of trees to plant. Imagine planting trees and stopping deforestation! They say it will help clean up the mess we have made of this beautiful planet of ours.
No matter how or what you celebrate this holiday, have wondrous moments with those who really matter to you. And may 2019 be full of hope.

I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.
