The first thing I noticed was how fast this swallow flew. When it landed, I noticed the white cheeks and green back. I was thrilled to realize that it was a Violet-green Swallow. They are stunning! #birds #photography #birdphotography #birding

Swallow perched on a dead tree in front of some beard moss (Usnea), blueish-purple wings, green back, clean white front and violet neck.

I've posted before how happy I am that a pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers have chosen to nest near our camp in northern Ontario. Here are two more shots of these beautiful birds. #birds #birding #Algoma

A close up of a red-headed woodpecker perched at the top of a hydro pole. It is facing me, but looking to the right. This angle shows how its red hood becomes a bib on its upper chest.

I sometimes despair that the camera can never really capture just how amazing the natural world can be. But sometimes, just sometimes, the winter light hits those reeds and all those reflections pop... #birds #birdphotography #birding #photooftheday #photography #NatureIsAmazing

In a brief break between snowstorms, I ventured out to check how frozen the lake was. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw this stunning heron land gracefully on the water’s edge. I waited for the ripples to settle, and it rewarded me with this perfect shot. #birds #heron #canon #photography #birding

A Great Blue Heron perched still at the edge of a calm lake, creating a perfect mirror-like reflection in the water below. The bird’s intricate plumage, including its long gray feathers and white accents, is beautifully highlighted against a bright white sky. The stillness of the water enhances the symmetry, making the reflection appear almost identical to the bird above.

When you foolishly tell the Northern Pygmy Owl that it's Monday morning before they've had their coffee. #owls #birds #canada #nature #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #birding #nikon #monday

A family of Ravens is putting the goth back in gothic at NYC's largest cathedral--St John the Divine. There are five mouths to feed, so the parents are staying busy! ⛪️⛪️⛪️ #Ravens #Cathedral #birding
