We usually stay at Mew Lake Campground when we go to Algonquin Park. Just along the road heading into the campground is an old abandoned airfield. They regularly do controlled burns in this area and as you can see from the photo above, they had just done one recently. This is to maintain this area as an open space and enhance wildlife.
We spent a few hours walking around this area and taking shots. It’s quite something how they manage this. We spotted lots of birds using this space and it does not take long for everything to grow back. It’s an interesting topic. Here are a few of my photos I took.
Still a bit of snow left just by the parking lot 
Poor fella 
The dark lands………… 
amazing how they can control it so well, lots of experience and practice 
I do love dead trees, I love live ones more but dead trees have such character 
The birds are still there as you can see 
You can see green on the right side and burn on the other side 
Poor little guy, half green and half burnt 
this is part of the bike trail now, or walking trail
I hope you find this as interesting as I do.
Until next time……….
