We have spent a lot of time on this road. When you get to the end you come to Opeongo lake and there is an outfitters/store there and you can rent kayaks/canoes. Opeongo lake is a big lake, we have done a few back country trips from this lake but we always rented a Water Taxi to take us to the end of the lake. There have been a couple of drownings on this lake which is sad and it’s mostly because of the winds which can be quite harsh and make for some decent whitecaps when paddling and that can be dangerous no matter if you are experienced or not.
We saw this little guy near the docks and he was playing with a piece of strapping that someone had dropped in the lake.

We are usually more interested seeing what is along the road, there are lots of water spots, Costello lake, marshes, etc. We used to, years ago, see lots of moose on this road but not so much anymore. This one day I spotted this little bird who I believe is a White Throated Sparrow. He was having a great time eating some berries he found.

Some views of one particular spot that I like and is a very popular spot to stop at.
Such a nice place to stop 
“Turtle Rock” 
There is also a heron that usually hangs out on this road, I do love a nice heron photo!

Here are a few more of my photos of some other wildlife friends along the road. Oh and one flower photo!

I’m not entirely sure what kind of bird this is, but he’s cute 
Here he is again

I am not a birder so am not very familiar with different types of birds, it’s usually a struggle for me to figure out what kind of birds are what. My memory cannot remember all the different types. I do have a chart I use but it wasn’t very helpful this time!
Hope you enjoyed my photos.

Oh my goodness! The bird in the berries photo looks like gorgeous wallpaper, or any other place where a fine print could be used. Stunning photos. 😍

I like seeing the Great Blue Herons too. There is one in my park where I walk daily, but he’s so skittish, that he sees me and takes off screeching. He’s so skinny, compared to your heron. I like your birding diagram. I don’t know a lot of the birds, just the most common ones (kind of like wildflowers).

Yes it’s funny, some herons or other birds will just sit there and other ones takeoff the minute they spot you coming a mile down the road!

I had one heron a few years ago at Humbug Marsh – it was Winter, but no snow around and it was fishing in this lagoon. He/she didn’t catch anything and was 10 feet away from me and never flinched. Go figure – Harry the Heron at the Park lets out a screech that could wake the dead!

Haha poor Harry! It’s funny how some wildlife are so skittish and others simply don’t care!

Yes, I have not gotten any good pictures of him in years. I always walk the same way on the trail and I think he sees the whites of my eyes through the bushes and freaks!
