Blue Jay Portrait

Beautiful Blue Jays.. This one sat almost like he was posing!

Photogenic Blue Jays

Went out prepared this time! Bought myself some Peanuts, and brought them with.. The Blue Jays were much appreciative, and came very close!

This guy say on the pole covered in Christmas lights patiently waiting his turn at the feeder

Or was just checkin me out!

Ice ice... everywhere!!

April 8th we woke up to discover ICE on everything! The trees were especially gorgeous, so of course I had to go out taking pictures!!

Long grasses were beautiful, but hard to photograph!

The trucks were just coated in ice as well...

Birding in Kenosee April 9 - Picture Heavy!

Went for a nice birding adventure with Terry in Kenosee.. first off, Spotted this lovely guy..

Chickadees were out in full force!

The Purple Finch was quite close when we first got there!

Blue Jays were EVERYWHERE!! Especially once I brought out the peanuts

Dark Eyed Juncos were mostly on the ground, but a couple popped into the trees for a picture or two..

The Hairy Woodpecker made an appearance.. although he didnt really pose very well

Also Spotted -

Icy Objects

The first sign of the ice, was on the door to the kitty house.. their latch had more ice then metal!!

This was a fence I came across.. looks really awesome!

Visiting Pheasant

Spotted our lovely pheasant.. he came for a quick visit and a peek in the windows!

Went out to see and he hightailed it (get it?)

Cattails peek out everywhere!

This was a road.. at one point of time.. now its just snowy!

Silly Kitties

With the (Warmer) weather, Ive been going for walks looking for birds.. unfortunately I usually end up with a kitty trail behind me.. they like to follow me, then when I stop to take pictures of a bird, next thing I know, Im looking at this...

So, now I get in my vehicle and drive, THEN walk... they are not happy about this development..  So cute to see them all in a row though! and holy moly they look alike!!

Interesting Woodpecker! (and a Squirrel)

Sorry about the horrible pictures, but I thought this was awesome! a Male Hairy Woodpecker digging a hole into a tree!

And a pretty awesome Fox Squirrel just chillin

A Day in Regina

Went shopping in regina on March 26th.. Decided to have a drive around (and around, and around and AROUND) Wascana Park.. Fortunately I brought my camera!!

The Very Snow Covered Paths were very pretty!

Didnt see any birds except these lovely Canada Geese..
