The common dog-violet can be found in a variety of habitats from woodland to grassland. Its purple flowers resemble pansies and are not scented. It has heart shaped leaves and flowers from April to June. It is named dog-violet due to the lack of perfume unlike its cousin, the Sweet Violet.

Algoma Wildlife

The AGA has produced a free colouring page series about getting to know our local wildlife. Get outdoors and discover the wonderful wilderness, home to Algoma, then print off these colouring pages and colour them wild!

Mallard Duck

Mallard Duck colouring page.
Have you heard of a Mallard duck?

​We are lucky Mallard ducks are local to Algoma. Mallard ducks are one of the more common duck species you can find floating around our lakes and rivers. Bellevue Park is a great place to find them dappling for seaweed and plants underwater. They also eat the salmon that die off each year in the St. Mary’s River in the fall! You can tell the difference between a male and female Mallard duck because the males have a brilliant green reflective head while the females are all brown. Next time you are at the park, see if you can tell the difference.

Snowy Owl

Snowy Owl colouring page.
Have you heard of a Snowy Owl?

​Snowy Owls can be seen in Algoma in the winter months. They prefer waterfronts and open fields that resemble their tundra habitat that they feed on during the summer months. Did you know that this colouring page depicts a female snowy owl? Female snowy owls are recognizable by their spots while the males are generally all white. Just like polar bears in a snowstorm, snowy owls are adapted to blend in with the snow. See if you can spot one this winter!

Blue Jay

Blue Jay colouring page.
Have you heard of a Blue Jay?

​Did you know that Blue Jays are related to crows and ravens? A flock of ravens is called “an unkindness”. A flock of crows is called a “murder”. Did you know a flock of Blue Jays is called a “party”? Blue jays can gather in large flocks looking for peanuts and suet at your backyard feeder. You can recognize them by their funny and noisy calls. They like to sing out “jeer, jeer, jeer”!

Have you heard of a Peregrine Falcon?

​The Peregrine Falcon is built for speed, with long pointed wings and narrow tails they can dive at their prey at 320km/h! The Peregrine Falcon can be found almost everywhere in the world. There are 22 different types of Peregrine Falcons and 3 of them can be found in North America. They are rare to spot, but some people have been lucky enough to spot evidence of the Flacons near Robertson Cliffs here in Algoma in the Spring and Summer.

Snail colouring page.
Have you heard of a snail?

Snail is a common name for gastropod molluscs, which can be broken up into land snails, sea snails and freshwater snails. This colouring page depicts a land snail that has over 500 native species in North America. The snail is one of the slowest creatures on earth, so it uses its shell for protection against predators, hiding inside of it when they feel threatened! The snail does not change shells as they grow but their shells actually grow with them.

Monarch Butterfly

Monarch Butterfly colouring page.
Have you heard of a Monarch Butterfly?

Monarch Butterflies are one of the most popular butterflies in North America. These butterflies migrate annually in the late summer and fall from southern Canada and central United States to Florida, California, and Mexico, covering thousands of miles! These butterflies don’t get lost though because they have a magnetic compass to help them navigate. Monarch butterflies lay their eggs on Milkweed, which is what their caterpillars will eat once hatched. The milkweed plant is toxic, but Monarch Butterflies have evolved to tolerate it and even store the toxins making them poisonous to predators!
