Eastern Bluebird with a berry. They don’t all fly south in winter (from Southern Ontario) if they have a sustainable food source and some shelter.

First bird of 2025 was a Dark-eyed Junco …like my archived photo. (published in Birds & Blooms Extra 2014.)

A fanciful moment to celebrate the season. My watercolour of a Chickadee and Faerie. Best wishes to my Bluesky birder friends.

As well as bird photography I also like to paint bird watercolours…here’s an Eastern Bluebird I recently did to illustrate an article in an area newsletter.

Today’s freezing rain here in SW Ontario, Canada reminded me of a big ice storm we once had…the upside was some great photo opts.
We helped this Eastern Bluebird find food by putting out suet and berries.

We’ve been getting a lot of snow here in SW Ontario Canada this past week!
Here’s a Blue Jay in queue for the peanut feeder.

Always a good day when an owl decides to spend the day on your deck. The rest of the yard birds weren’t pleased though!

Owls and hummingbirds are two of my favourite birds. (The other is usually whatever bird I’m seeing at the time…)

Here’s a charming Short-eared Owl at days end, ready to hunt for prey in a field near my previous home.

The elusive (well around here anyway) Northern Hawk Owl. Trudged through a lot of snow on back trails with my gear on a sled and we were rewarded with some lovely views of this handsome creature while we were looking at Bohemian Waxwings.

I’ve posted a couple of times successfully but my last two posts haven’t posted it seems.🤷🏻‍♀️
As a test I’ll post my Great Grey Owl photo again.
Thanks for your patience and I am loving your bird posts.
