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.

All so beautiful. And just look at Calico and Hope. Look at Mr. Blue Jay with that nut! I don’t know if they know, but the cats and the wildlife are so-o-o lucky to have you in their lives.
Oh, thank you Cheryl. How kind of you! But I am the lucky one…they keep me sane when things are not going the way they should and bring me such joy just when I see them in the morning!
