As the name suggests this blog will be all about the things I see from home. Home is on Cormorant island on a semi-water front lot facing south and looking out over Broughton Strait. I have been here since 2005 and as time goes on have increasingly regretted keeping wildlife records. This blog will act as a record of past species sighted from home and will include posts of new species or sightings of interest as they happen. Photos will also be added if taken from home and stories about the wildlife will be posted as time allows.
