the beginning of May, I have adopted the \u201cbirders\u2019\u201d lifestyle, which includes 4 A.M. mornings, beautiful sunrises and lots of caffeine. For some this may seem like a less than ideal routine, but for me, it is the dream! It signifies another day in the field doing what I love to do: exploring wildlife in their natural habitat.<\/p>\n<p>I have been fortunate enough to join WPC&#8217;s Eastern Loggerhead Shrike Recovery Team on a 7-week contract based out of eastern Ontario. While shrike used to be more common in the region, the eastern Ontario population dwindled in the mid 1990s. However, breeding pairs have been spotted in recent years, so my position was reintroduced this season to see if there might be more out there. And I, for one, am thrilled to get to spend my days tracking down the infamous \u201cButcherbird\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t easy \u2014 it took me just shy of four weeks to spot this elusive, predatory songbird \u2014 and the \u201chappy dance\u201d that followed\u2026 Let\u2019s just say I am glad I work alone. My next task will be to try to track down its (potential) nest. But, in the meantime, I have had ample time to relish and embrace working in the field and \u201cliving the dream\u201d, and here are five reasons why.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-7714eba142aeda1f8b5272a3c372b279 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mrxpyc81-43e65cf672f9db6e1e9042bd94ee53f9'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>1.

To the rescue!<\/h3>\n<p>Although my focus is on helping with the recovery effort of shrikes, there is often the opportunity to throw on that red cape and be part of multiple species\u2019 protection. This season, I have come across not one but <strong><em>two<\/em><\/strong> Blanding\u2019s turtles! This is an exciting find for me, because, unfortunately, I had never seen one alive. All eight of the species of turtles found in Ontario are considered Species at Risk. One of the major risks to turtles\u2019 survival are roads. Nesting females are particularly vulnerable to road mortality, as they lay their eggs on the soft, gravel shoulders of roads and can often be found making a slow crawl across roads to find appropriate nesting sites. I have assisted in safely helping two Blanding\u2019s turtles, one midland painted turtle and one common gartersnake cross the road. <em>Remember:<\/em> Always move animals in the direction they were headed!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-7714eba142aeda1f8b5272a3c372b279 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mrxq2gwh-6e66b9c7bc1e16090741a2300ced2bde\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mrxq2gwh-6e66b9c7bc1e16090741a2300ced2bde img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mrxq2gwh-6e66b9c7bc1e16090741a2300ced2bde .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mrxq2gwh-6e66b9c7bc1e16090741a2300ced2bde av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-28  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-54423 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-54423 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LivingTheDreamTop5PerksOfWorkingInTheField_BlandingsTurtle_A.Lymburner.png' alt='' title='LivingTheDreamTop5PerksOfWorkingInTheField_BlandingsTurtle_A.Lymburner'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-35d53d7be2491954ac97ecc375137ffb\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-35d53d7be2491954ac97ecc375137ffb{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-35d53d7be2491954ac97ecc375137ffb hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-29  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mrxq2kj1-a07776c67c4480213f5a5d51f85b28b8'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>A female Blanding\u2019s turtle (Species at Risk) showing off her smile after she made it safely across the road (with a little help from a friend).
