Small mock inuksuit are built by travellers and displayed on the rocky edges beside Hwy 17 in Eastern Ontario, particularly west of North Bay. Those in the shape of human forms are ”inunnguaq”, historically built by the Inuit to help herd cariboo. I built one of my own too, but it’s not as easy as it looks!

The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri was built in 1965, commemorating Thomas Jefferson and the westward expansion of the United States. One of the most influential people in the history of United States, Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826) was the the third U.S. president and author of the Declaration of Independence.

It’s a wonder that doves have survived to evolve as far as they have. For one thing, their nests are flimsy. They are also more comfortable nesting openly near humans than any other wild bird, as far as I know.
Today this chick and it’s parent were sitting on the curb beside a very busy street. When I came too close the mother tried to fly across the road, and appeared to be injured. Judging from the experience of doves nesting in the wreath at our back door last year, this chick is not ready to fly yet either. I suspect that they both fell from the nest, and wonder what are their chances for survival with all the cats, dogs, people and vehicles in the vicinity?
