Juvenile Bald Eagle flyby.......
#birds #canadianbirding #eagle #wildlife #nature
A juvenile Bald Eagle is not so "bald". The young have a brown head and eyes, unlike the white head and golden yellow eyes of the adult. The outstretched wings are cropped in this photo to give a better view of the head, feet and feathers.

A great egret looking for snacks in what is left of Mud Lake…the heatwave this summer has made it more of a Mud Puddle. Still, it managed to grab several minnows while I watched. Fuel for the inevitable flight south.
📍 Mud Lake, Ottawa

A female sooty grouse, June 2025.

She was foraging among the tall grass and flowers at the lookout halfway up Mt Seymour just a few metres from the parking lot.

I was struck by the variety of plumage on the head, and the bright yellow ridge above the eye.

I found this Pacific wren on a very hot (for us) day. It was breathing hard and had found a spot next to a stream to cool down.

Belcarra, British Columbia.

Demanding little Brown Headed Cowbird calls to it's parent for more food. It took me a bit before I realized the size difference.
Anyway, nature is beautiful and strange sometimes. 🦉🪶

The Red Winged Blackbird are delightfully aggressive this time of year as their Fledglings leave the nest and tend to be hiding on the ground growing their wing strength and growing their feathers. 🦉🪶

a male red winged blackbird in a tree with some green leaves around the branch he's standing on. The red winged blackbirds are very aggressive this time of year as their fledglings leave the nest. If one starts harassing you, it's best to leave before one pokes out your eye and keeps it on their trophy tree.

A few of my backyard birds. Sitting out and taking pictures of these guys is so much better for my nerves than watching the news channels!

We saw 126 bird species in all last week, such a joy to be out in nature all day, rain and shine.
The Point Pelee 100 species challenge was completed after just 4 days!
