Friends of Redtail Society Re-storying our relationship with the forest

Our Guiding Principles:
- Demonstrate respect for the Web of Life: Non-human centred decision making asks us to consider that human needs should never be assumed to take precedence over the needs of other Beings. All human decisions should be made in the spirit of interconnectedness and cooperation with other life forms.
- Foster a deeper and respectful relationship with the land and all its Being

s: Broaden our sense of community to include the plants, the animals, the air, the water, and the soil.
- Minimize human impact and protect wild areas: Recognize that nature systems function perfectly as they are, the human hand is not required to "improve" them. As humans we have to find our place in this system again and only in harmony with Nature will the human race have a future.
- Engage community in the health and wellbeing of the bioregion: Promote the value of community exchange, sharing and gathering.

Happy Summer!

Sunday morning was a perfect day for our Spring Birding Walk. The Savannah sparrow was singing in the field along side the marshy area as the Cat bird called near by. We watched a Sharp- shinned hawk being chased by a robin and the songs of over 34 different species of birds were heard or seen, from the Redstart warblers to the threatened Eastern Wood-pewee. Birding is not about just recording names, birding can teach patience and being ok with not knowing all the answers. As we all know birds play an important role in the ecosystem and there are always little things one can do for them. Thanks to all who came out to listen, walk slowly and honour all the spring time life stirring and the joy birds can bring to our day!

FRS no glow trail camera. We all have to learn to live with the neighbours, even if one tries to eat your camera :)

So nice to hear new bird song returning to the forest and backyards. These Northern Flickers are showing off their territory displays to each other. Soon they will be spending a lot of time on the ground hunting for their favourite food.

You may have noticed the Kestrels are back sitting on power lines patiently hunting. We are hoping they find this nest box that has been put up for this beautiful little hawk.
