With the ban on herbicides in urban Ontario, my lawn has become a flourishing ecosystem of grass, weeds, wildlife and bugs. Even the toads are making a comeback!
This juvenile cottontail is enjoying the white clover that has sprung up.

I had forgotten that ban was on! Neat that you're seeing a difference. :) Thanks for adding this to the Animals in Urbania Project.
(And I went to UoG, so it's really cool to see some other observations in the area!)
Yes - cottontails, and almost as exciting, the toads are back, too! I even have a pansy in there that seems to have self seeded from some pots on the patio a year or two ago! So unless the lawn becomes a dandelion monoculture, I'm thrilled with the herbicide ban. (And I'm a Guelph grad, too - lived all over Canada and ended up back here.)
