Haliburton Highlands Weekend Away

This weekend we headed to Haliburton Highlands for a little R&R and a whole lot of photography.  I had only seen a few ravens in my time until this trip, where we were seeing 20-30 at once.  They were quite curious and so vocal - what a great call they have.  It sounds like a cross between a heron and a crow.

 

Early mornings at the cottage were cool but beautiful, with heavy mist on the water.  I tried my best to see or hear on owl but no luck. 



Hailburton Wolf Centre



We did, however hear wolves and although we were located near the Haliburton Wolf Centre, the howls were from a pack across the water. 

Before heading for home, we tackled a couple of trails in Algonquin and saw evidvence of moose...but we are still moose-less in Ontario. Sigh.

Instead, we spent some quality time with some beautiful Gray Jays.

Is anything cuter?
