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 .
