The IBM Toronto Lab is a bit of a misnomer. Shortly after I joined we moved out of Toronto, up to Markham, to a brand new lab on a relatively large chunk of property (our ribbon cutting ceremony was September 11, 2001). The nice thing is that this relatively large property is also basically undeveloped except where the buildings and parking lots stand, leaving a fair bit of genuine certified nature lying about. I’ve been keeping a bit of a list, and so far in 2006 I’ve seen (in addition to plants and insects):
- Deer x 1
- Rabbits x 2.5 (2 adults, 1 baby)
- Racoons x 2
- Squirrels x N
Not a particularly formidable list, though the doe in particular was quite captivating, and quite close. But then there’s the birds…
