Be on the lookout !
The suspect known as Spongy Moth (formerly Gypsy Moth) is a highly invasive perpetrator, about 1½ inches long, black with yellow-gray tufts and colorful dots. These offenders are known to decimate entire forests in weeks.
But we're ready for them this time. We have a surplus of pheremone traps available for purchase to crack down on these defoliating suspects and protect our trees. Nationwide, these pests cause an estimated $868 million in damage each year.
But the good news is Spongy Moth numbers are drastically reducing. You can join the battle by putting up traps in your area to eliminate breeding.
Single traps - $19.99
5 pack traps - $ 84.99

FEED ME !!!!! 🐦⬛
Oh those fledglings can be demanding (not so little) things.
Fledgling Common Grackles, though capable of flight, will still demand food from their parents. This is a normal part of their development as they learn to forage independently. The fledglings are learning to fly stronger, find food, and survive, and while they are learning, the parents will continue to feed them.

FUN FACT: The woodpecker’s tongue is one of nature’s most astonishing adaptations. Far longer than its beak, the tongue extends back into the skull, wrapping around it—sometimes even looping over the top and around the eye socket. This isn't just to catch insects buried deep within tree bark; it's also a vital piece of shock-absorbing anatomy. As the bird slams its beak into wood at speeds of up to 20 times per second, the tongue’s unique path acts like a biological seatbelt, distributing impact forces and helping to protect the brain from trauma. This remarkable design, supported by a specialized structure called the hyoid apparatus, allows the woodpecker to perform its relentless pecking without suffering concussions - a feat no human could match unprotected.

Keep your Hummingbird friends happy & healthy 💜💚 Hummingbird nectar can spoil, especially in hot weather... so remember to regularly empty and clean their feeders. Make sure to scrub any surface areas that may have mold growth, paying special attention to the feeding ports/flowerettes. Switch out your nectar, even if it doesn't look like they've been touched. If you feel like you're wasting nectar, only fill halfway.

Caledon Mountain Wildlife was originally founded in 1991 by Brian Thayer and his partner Dawn in a turn of the century drive shed at the rear of a converted homestead to plaza at the 4 corners of Hurontario St and Charleston Sideroad in Caledon Village, Ontario. They were lifelong bird lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Much research went into the custom blending of seed for wild birds before the proven blends were adopted for Caledon Mountain Wildlife’s seal of approval. The products have been proven time and time again as the preferred blends with high quality bird seed, blended daily to retain its freshness without the fillers commonly found in birdfeed mixes, mass manufactured for the retail market or in big box stores. No fillers and no waste = Happy Birds.
Tony Kairys and his wife Linda owned the store from February of 2014 -2017. They visit the store often and always have great bird stories to share.
In 2017 a young entrepreneur and wild bird enthusiast Brett Lagerquist acquired Caledon Mountain Wildlife. Brett is a motivated business owner who takes pride in his commitment to providing quality feed for wild birds and local wildlife, quality bird feeders, bird houses, made by local craftsmen and the accessories necessary to enhance your experience with nature at very reasonable prices. Brett later hired Michele Runtas, a self-proclaimed “Bird Nerd” to help with the daily operations of the store. Her longtime love of birds, gardening & nature made her the perfect fit into the Caledon Mountain Wildlife family.
Their commitment is to continue to help their customers with....
