Birds of Ontario :) 1

Ive always been interested in birds,  even when I was young I tried to take photos of them ...  I rediscovered this passion last December when I was trying to capture a hawk on film , or I guess memory stick now lol .   Ive been collecting photos of them since then , and someday hope to photograph all 300 odd species in Ontario ,  So far I'm only at 10% lol,  not too bad for winter time... but summers coming and Ill be out hiking and biking looking for subjects !

My first spring sighting of a Robin :))  

Love this shot of a morning dove on one of my feeders.  

:))  Red Winged Black Bird ... must have been in a fight or is stressed , notice the lack of feathers on his head . 

Caught the morning dove in action .. Cooing away  :)) 

I have several blue jays that also frequent my yard :) 

Found this young hawk , pretty sure its a red tailed hawk.  

There is also a pair of Cardinals :))  Love the plume on the female .  

Hahaha they are so skittish ,  this one flew up in the tree and kept poking his head up to check on me :) 

The second Robin I found was posing for me :) 

So what did you think ?  Do you like birds ?
Happy Earth Day !!  I'm going outside to play :)

An Evening Drive

Im constantly pulling over to the side of the rode, and jumping out to take a shot or two . Time is usually short , so thats about all I get .  So when I actually have extra time , I try to make the most of it and put on my boots , and get right in there for a good bunch of shots.

Signs, signs .. everywhere!!  Drives me mad! 

Empty Milk Week 

Was a nice bright blue sunny day !!  

Even a robin posed for a picture. 

An old beaver pond, Id been wanting to stop at for a while. 

Knarly Frozen Roots 

Reminded me of a sun dial :) 

Ahh green!!  Come on spring!!  

  Id been wanting to stop at this old beaver pond for a while, was well worth the 10 minute hike to get to it.   All shots are untouched , save for a crop or two .   Editing suggestions are welcomed, as are all comments :) Enjoy your day !  Happy Shooting .

Spring and Sunsets

Spring has sprung !! ( I hope )  Finally!  Here in Southern Ontario :)  Things are starting to sprout , and the days are getting warmer and longer. I've started down a new career path , and have been promoted to the Bird Manager ( Fancy Funny Title still to be determined !! lol )  at a local organic farm .   So I will have a whole new flock of subjects to shoot very soon !!  This is going to be a GREAT year :))

My new charges :))  Happy Chickens

Is spring really here now ?? :) 

Last years sunflower heads, trying an experiment to see if I can make a sunflower patch without actually doing anything lol.  

What a great sunset I was treated to 

It just kept getting better and better 

With very interesting clouds

Last one :) Enjoy your day !  

  

Have a great day everyone :) Please let me know which ones you liked , and why :) All are untouched , except for a couple of crops, what you see is what I shot ! :)  Enjoy .
