The Detroit River is a 32-mile (51 km) long strait in the Great Lakes system and forms part of the boundary between Michigan and Ontario.By definition, this classifies it as both a river and a strait (a narrow passageway connecting two large bodies of water).The river serves as an important transportation route connecting Lake Michigan, Huron, and Superior to the St. Lawrence Seaway and Erie Canal. Much of the lower portion of the river is now part of the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge.The Detroit River is a large part of what makes Windsor such a big attraction for tourists.
The natural range of this large freshwater turtle extends from southeastern Canada, southwest to the Rocky Mountains as far east as Nova Scotia and Florida. Unlike other turtles, they are too large to hide in their own shells when confronted, therefore snapping is their defense mechanism.Caution! - The turtle can amputate a finger with its powerful jaws and its neck is very flexible. Lifting this turtle with the hands is extremely dangerous.
The swans are the largest members of the duck family, and they are also the largest flying birds.The largest species can reach length of over 1.5 m (60 inches) and weigh over 15 kg (33 pounds) and their wingspans can be almost 3 m (10 ft). They are just gorgeous!
The adaptable, omnivorous Eastern Gray Squirrel is the native mammal people most frequently see here. Not all of them are really grey, we have lots of black and even white squirrels on our back yard. They say the Eastern Grey Squirrel finds buried nuts by using its highly developed sense of smell, rather than by memory.
American lotus or yellow lotus is native to North America. American lotus is an emergent aquatic plant.It grows in lakes and swamps, leaves and flowers emerge above the water's surface. Flowering begins in late spring and may continue into the summer. The flowers measure 18–28 cm.
The Blue Jay is native to North America. They are common near residential areas, we have a few. They are hooligans but very timorous hooligans.Because of its large size, blue coloration and crest the Blue Jay is quite distinctive. The Blue Jay measures 22–30 cm (9–12 in) from bill to tail and weighs 70–100 g. And they are pretty, they have plumage which is lavender-blue to mid-blue in the crest, back, wings, and tail, and its face is white.
The Great Blue Heron is a large (with a head-to-tail length of 91–140 cm) wading bird. In Ontario pretty common near the shores of open water. Herons have been known to choke on prey that is too large.
With its bright colours, large size (wings span 93 to 105 mm), and slow beautiful flight, the monarch butterfly is one of the most widely recognized of all North American butterflies. They can been seen in southern Ontario, especially in such areas as Point Pelee National Park. The Great Lakes are a significant barrier to the monarchs' migration.For a few special days each autumn, Point Pelee is a temporary home to thousands of migrating monarch butterflies. As soon as favourable conditions occur, they begin one of nature's greatest journeys by crossing Lake Erie. Their destination is 3000 km further south in the mountains of central Mexico. Some times we can see hundrets of tnem over the house.
Opossums are funny: when threatened or harmed, they will "play possum", mimicking the appearance and smell of a sick or dead animal. The one on the pictures was sitting more than 3 hrs on the fence without any movement. Opossums have a remarkably robust immune system, they are about 8 times less likely to carry rabies than wild dogs, and about one in eight hundred opossums are infected with this virus...
