A little over a year ago the #NorthernLights made a strong appearance here in central Ontario. ‘‘Twas a good night for photos, looking forward to the next time. #canonR10 #canonmirrorless #lakesimcoe #nightsky #notsomethingyouseeoften

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdInABush or #reflection. I went with reflection as I couldn’t find a decent photo in a bush. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Here is a #MuteSwan with a good reflection. Hidden in behind is a bonus mallard with its own reflection. #BOTD #birds #nature #EastCoastKin #canonR10 #canonmirrorless

Today’s #birdoftheday is chickadees.
I can do that, I get lots of chickadees at my feeder. #BOTD #chickadee #birdphotography #nature #canonmirrorless #canonR10 #EastCoastKin

A very late addition to yesterday’s #birdoftheday for #beakful I shot this through my kitchen window way back in 2008. The Robin was lunch and it’s kind of sad but amazing to see raw nature so close to home. #BOTD #hawk #lunch #canonrebelxt

#BirdOfTheDay is hosted daily by @robcrank68.bsky.social and @alan678.bsky.social .
Today's theme is any goose/geese.
Probably the only photos I’ve taken of Geese this summer. At the local swamp and walking right down the road.

@alan678.bsky.social The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #notabranch (birds perched on anything except a branch), I give you a House Wren in his house. From April until July these guys are in this house. They seem to pack up and leave overnight. #housewren #canonR10 #EastCoastKin #photography #botd

Here’s a photo for #MacroMonday just a simple water drop on a plant but I like the reflection of the building behind it. #photography #EastCoastKin #CanonR10 #sigma105macro #waterdrop #reflection

Today’s #birdoftheday as chosen by @robcrank68.bsky.social is any bird with yellow on it. I’ve chosen a Black-Capped Chickadee. It has some yellow on it but I really like this photo. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #botd #chickadee #angelwings #EastCoastKin #photography #bird

They are so LOUD!!!! I guess that’s why they call them trumpeters. 🤣
He/she was just looking for a handout but that’s a lot of bird staring at me.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as chosen by @alan678.bsky.social is #webbedfeet Not the best pictures but when a Trumpeter Swan waddles up to you and honks, it gets your attention 🤣 #Swanday #swans #tamebutstillwild #trumpeterswan #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #iphonephotography

Just the fact that I was so close to the bird, the open beak just turned into an added bonus.

Today’s bird of the day is gulls, after a bit of searching i found this image. It made me realize i don’t shoot gulls very often (anymore). I guess i need to fix that. @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #Gulls

We are our own worst critics. I did get a few “good” pictures of the Northern Hawk Owl. Who was the most famous bird in southern Ontario when it came to visit.

Attempted some water drop photography yesterday, with mixed results. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s still grey and miserable outside, might try again today. #waterdrop #athomephotoideas #canonR10 #sigma105macro #plutotrigger

Here’s my shots for #birdbutt and #BirdOfTheDay the last photo is a different sort of bird butt but still a bird. 😆 I had to go into the “almost a good shot” folder to get these photos.
