My drive back from Ottawa this morning was full of fascinating nature encounters. Before crossing the border I noticed a porcupine high up in the limbs of a tree beside the highway, and spotted a Male Pilliated Woodpecker as it flew across the interstate just before my vehicle. The image below shows some frog fences that were installed beside route 68 north about 5 miles north of Canton. These fences were constructed by students beside route 68 near certain wetlands with the purpose of deterring migrating frogs and amphibians as they travel during mating or hatching seasons.
