This little beauty is wearing some ankle jewelry. lol He has been banded. The Red-headed woodpecker is a species of concern so there is an ongoing effort to research them.

Sweet little baby Killdeer came running right in front of me!
Wainfleet, Ontario, Canada

Belted Kingfisher taking a food dive. He did come up with a fish!

Sunsets...proof the sky knows how to paint. Sunset over Lake Huron in Ontario Canada

How fantastic to have the shade of your Mom's wings during a heat wave! It's not often you see an Osprey nest with 3 babies.

When his fly over is so close he doesn't fit in your lens LOL
This was a very odd situation. Dad came in with a fish, then left with the fish, came back with it and then left with it again. Maybe no one was hungry? Who knows, but usually fish comes in headless and Mom & babies are very grateful.

When this Bald Eagle thought he'd steal an easy fish meal from the Osprey, it met it's match. Between the 3 other Osprey that joined in the battle, this eagle was left upside down after being dive bombed! It did eventually give up but not without a 20 minute battle in the sky. WOW!!

Beautiful Loon pair. One preens while the other searches for treasure under the surface

Beautiful Bald Eagle noticing there are people looking at him. lol

When a bird flies past and you don't immediately recognize it and swing your camera quickly to capture it only to realize its a Red Winged Blackbird LOL, nice, but certainly not unique!

We're headed back to one of our favourite camping/photography areas. Can't wait to see what's waiting for us this time. Here's a throwback to one of our past trips.

This Coopers Hawk landed right in our own backyard for his afternoon snack. What a fantastic opportunity for photography!

Incoming beauty! The male wood duck certainly has all the pretty colours.

"Excuse me photographers, this means stop, just stop.' 😂

Great horned owlet, 2 days out of the nest.

We have some fabulous owlet photos so far but this might go down as my most favourite ever!

Great Horned Owlet takes his/her first step into independence and steps out of the nest. Baby number 2 was quite content to have the nest to itself and snuggled right in to sleep lol Shot with a 500mm lens and cropped.

Maybe this beautiful Mute Swan is taking a moment of self reflection? Something we could all do a little more of.

Or maybe he's just looking for lunch. 🤔

We are so happy that warmer temps are finally making their way back and I'm willing to go outside again! Anyone else hate the cold??
