About

Having grown up in the rural countryside northwest of Toronto, Seabrooke Leckie has always had an interest in nature. From hunting for fairy shrimp in the pond in the backyard, to sharing the house with orphaned raccoons, wildlife and the outdoors played a big part in her childhood. She followed this interest to the University of Guelph, where she obtained a B.Sc.H. in Zoology. Following graduation, Seabrooke became involved with the Tommy Thompson Park Bird Research Station in Toronto, where she remains an active figure. In recent years she has spent most of her year from spring thaw in April to the first snows in November outside studying birds as a freelance ornithologist, and has traveled around the country to places including California and British Columbia for jobs.

She also enjoys photography and bird illustration, currently primarily done as a hobby in her spare time. Some examples of her work can be seen on her website.

    I enjoy your site and hoped to see your work at the link above.
    It doesn’t seem to be working?

    Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Nina! I recently bought a domain, and it seems the application of the domain to the site has caused the previous address to stop functioning? I’ll have to look into that, but in the meantime the link should be fixed now.

    I happened upon your blog by following a link from Laura in NJ. Yours is beautifully written and superbly illustrated. I like to read what fellow Canadians are writing.

    Thanks, Ruth, glad you enjoy it! I do like reading what others from Canada, and particularly Ontario, are seeing, too.
