For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #CollectingFood here is a Spruce Grouse eating snow on a -35c day in Algonquin Provincial Park. Spruce grouse do not primarily eat snow for sustenance, but they rely heavily on it for winter survival. #Ontario #Canada #birds #birding #nature #winter #birdphotography

Black tern (Chlidonias niger) – From the Instagram archive… These shots of my lifer black tern aren’t great, but I was lucky enough to get a photo of the parent swooping in to feed the young one!

Nicole - I am trying to re-home my beloved bird books (orni, birding & birds, conservation). If I send you a spreadsheet would you be wiling to circulate it to your students and colleagues?

Caught this ruddy-breasted #seedeater mid-crunch in #Colombia, looking like he just dropped the hottest mixtape of the grasslands. Small bird with a big confidence!

I had some fun with a Pileated Woodpecker yesterday. With the warmer weather, the insects have been more active...bringing out the woodpeckers more.

Weird Bird Season is in full swing!
Repost with your celebratory weird bird season photo's.
#NOTL #Birding #Birds

Before Canon | After Canon
weird birds as far as the eye can see, all the way out of the niagara river between the ice sheets are tens of thousands of "weird birds" come to overwinter | red-breasted merganser, long-tailed duck, redheads, canvasback, greater scaup, lesser scaup, ring-billed gulls, iceland gulls, glaucus gulls, common merganser, bufflehead, hooded merganser, white-winged scoter, mallards, common goldeneye. supposedly there is a king eider and a surf scoter with a couple of loons out there but we couldn't spot them at 300mm (but the seasons not over!) al was peaceful out in the water until the lewiston fort canon went off and thousands of "weird birds" took to the skies, this photo is them flying around

We have a few ducks! In these photos there are Long-tailed Ducks, Redheads, Greater Scaups, Mallards, White-winged Scoters, Common Goldeneyes, and Red-breasted Mergansers, and probably others too. #birds #birding #ducks #HamOnt
Every winter thousands of ducks congregate at the west end of Lake Ontario. Here's a random shot of many different species swimming in light blue coloured water.

Sad to learn yesterday that Marj Cunningham passed away on Friday after a difficult couple of years. One of the long term characters of East Yorkshire birding, as interested in birders as birds. Condolences to Peter and her other relatives. #YorkshireBirding
