For Our Daily Challenge - White. Don't "shoot" until you see the "WHITES" of their eyes. In this case, the catch light! Seen in Brantford at Glenhyrst Park right by the dam. Returned today and visited Brant Conservation Area located across the Grand River from Glenhyrst. Another place deserving serious exploration.
