Canadian, north of Toronto in cottage country. Learning as I go, self taught, hopefully there’s something that catches your eye. All photos are mine except reposts.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Coots&Moorhens, and the Alternative is #Pigeons. I couldn’t find any pigeon photos, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Coot or Moorhen, so I decided to share this #BlueJay with a bad case of bed-head. #Nature #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #canonR10

Winter like sunrise. Pretty, but I don’t like the cold. 🥶 Only another 3 or 4 months of this. 😞 #-11°C #iphonephotography #uneditedphoto #brrrr

Anyone know what this is? Beyond the obvious seagull, what type? Photographed Nov 22, north shore of lake Simcoe, Ontario. Possibly an Iceland Gull? Bigger than a Ring-billed gull. #nature #bird #seagull #idwanted #EastCoastKin #canonR7 #sigma150600 #maybebetterpicstomorrow

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #mottled birds marked with spots of a different colour. Alt is #blurry birds blurred in motion.
I’ve added both, this Cormorant (blurry and beheaded 🪦😵) and the female red-winged blackbird. Who looks nothing like her male partner.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdInABush or #reflection. I went with reflection as I couldn’t find a decent photo in a bush. 🤷🏻♂️ Here is a #MuteSwan with a good reflection. Hidden in behind is a bonus mallard with its own reflection. #BOTD #birds #nature #EastCoastKin #canonR10 #canonmirrorless

A very late addition to yesterday’s #birdoftheday for #beakful I shot this through my kitchen window way back in 2008. The Robin was lunch and it’s kind of sad but amazing to see raw nature so close to home. #BOTD #hawk #lunch #canonrebelxt

Today's theme is any goose/geese.
Probably the only photos I’ve taken of Geese this summer. At the local swamp and walking right down the road.
