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 :)

A bird in your lense is worth two in the bush

The other day i was finally able to get a descent shot of this hawk I seen for the last six months... I managed to get a few fuzzy ones, or long distance shots, but not a nice clear shot :)  So todays post theme is birds :)  I hope you enjoy them, feel free to suggest names or captions for the pics.  Also I finally have editting software , ( after 5 years without lol ) These are untouched , so far ,  other than a crop here or there.  If you have suggestions on editting ,  they are most welcome.
