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

@alan678.bsky.social said today’s theme for the #BirdOfTheDay is #OnTheEdge (any bird at the edge of a body of water).
Here’s mine: a #Ring-Billed Gull doing its best Finding Nemo “MINE!!!”Impression. #OnTheEdge of lake Simcoe. #canonR7 #Sigma150600

Today’s #BirdOfTheDayTheme is Warblers, I don’t see too many warblers but I did get this one last summer. I’m pretty sure it’s a #yellowWarbler

Today’s #BirdOfTheDayTheme is #yelloweyes any bird with yellow eyes. I’ve chosen the first thing I thought of, this guy. A Northern Hawk Owl, southern Ontario’s most famous bird a few years ago. #hawkowl #toofarsouth #nature #EastCoastKin #birds #photography

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

The only jumping spider I saw this year. It was a different year for bugs around here, lots of bees 🐝 a few butterflies and this guy. #jumpingspider #nature #thingstoshoot #canonR10 #sigma105macro #EastCoastKin

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 theme is #StareDown, any bird looking at you, and the Alternative is #GullsInFlight.

I’ve chosen a Song Sparrow, questioning why I haven’t refilled the feeder yet.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DucksOutOfWater.
This was taken back in May of this year. I knew I’d need it for something at some point, today’s the day. 😂

A little over a year ago the #NorthernLights made a strong appearance here in central Ontario. ‘‘Twas a good night for photos, looking forward to the next time. #canonR10 #canonmirrorless #lakesimcoe #nightsky #notsomethingyouseeoften

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

Today’s #birdoftheday is chickadees.
I can do that, I get lots of chickadees at my feeder. #BOTD #chickadee #birdphotography #nature #canonmirrorless #canonR10 #EastCoastKin

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.

@alan678.bsky.social The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #notabranch (birds perched on anything except a branch), I give you a House Wren in his house. From April until July these guys are in this house. They seem to pack up and leave overnight. #housewren #canonR10 #EastCoastKin #photography #botd

Here’s a photo for #MacroMonday just a simple water drop on a plant but I like the reflection of the building behind it. #photography #EastCoastKin #CanonR10 #sigma105macro #waterdrop #reflection
