Ontario Trip Photos

 I saw these incredible birds on one of my ontario trips.. Some of the pictures are not the best, but I was just happy to see the birds!!
Starting with a Northern Harrier!

Next an Eastern Wood Pewee - Possibly a new bird?

Cicada shell

Ibis - possibly a glossy? I saw it while driving, stopped, and took a picture through my windshield! (NEW)

Polyphemus moth caterpillar I believe!

Yellow Billed Cuckoo (NEW)

Blog on Hiatus

I am sorry to say, that the blog will be on Hiatus for the next little while... at least until the little Bambino arrives and I can get back out and taking pictures!
I haven't been able to get out too much lately, so I apologize for the lack of posts before this!

Alaina

Lion like Kitty

This puss competes for my attention when I go out birding.. What a Beauty!! and very regal..

Favourite Shots of the Year - Pine Grosbeak

With the new beast (aka the camera of DOOM) in hand, and a lot of frustration (HOW Do I change my settings again??)  I set out to photograph birds..  Luckily they were in a cooperative mood..
I think these are some of my fav shots I have taken over the past year or so.. This Pine Grosbeak was being quite photogenic... I hope you agree!

Regally looking off to the side..

and Ignoring the camera in its face..

Kenosee Birds Aplenty

I love the variety of birds I see up in Kenosee.. Far different then the House Sparrows and Magpies we get on the farm...

Hairy Woodpecker

Blue Jay

Purple Finch - was surprised to see a few of these fellas around!

Common Redpoll

and of course, the Black Capped Chickadee!
