National Wildlife Week in Canada

Hey wildlife friends, it’s National Wildlife Week in Canada this week.

Every year, on whichever week April 10th falls, is National Wildlife Week. The Canadian Wildlife Federation runs events and contests during this time to help get everyone – in particular youngsters – interested in wildlife and the outdoors.

If you’re a fan of Canadian nature and the animals that make their homes in our lakes and forests, then enjoy this selection of Canadian creatures from Ontario and Quebec.

Hope you have time to get outdoors for a hike this week!

  1. I had never heard of National Wildlife Week, either. I know that there is usually “something” happening each week–for a conservation cause, or specific species. So I would definitely like to see NWW promoted more–as would everyone I mentioned these fantastic photos to. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them–thank you so much for sharing your talent, and photographs with us.

  2. Hi there. Great pictures of the wildlife in Algonquin Park, one of my favorite places on this planet! I live in Toronto, and earlier this year, my wife, Jean, and I were in Ireland where we came upon the rarely seen Red Squirrel. To us, they actually look somewhat like our American Red squirrels, but boy, do they have long ears! We were shocked to learn that U.K. and Irish Red squirrels are contracting the pox virus from Grey squirrels, and dying. We have far to many Grey squirrels here at our feeders. But up north near Algonquin Park we have seen a few Red squirrels. We feel very lucky to have seen two Red squirrels in Ireland. We have posted some of our pictures and video of our Red squirrel sightings in Ireland, and Canada for anyone interested at: http://frametoframe.ca/photo-essay-red-grey-squirrels-canada-ireland
