Father, motorcycle traveler, birder and kayaker. Just another human sitting in a lawn chair with a coffee, watching this civilization stumble through its final acts.
While in Brandon, Manitoba with the Red Cross, I had the opportunity to do some birding in my time off. Among these captures are 2 new lifers! Those would be the Sora and the Swainson's Hawk. #Birds

Breeding season is in full swing on High Bluff Island, on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario. In the winter,this is a perfect, quiet spot to chill but at this time of year? Avian bedlam!

Great day at Presqu'ile Park! The warblers have arrived, which makes for very interesting hikes. Any experts birders out there? I think I have captured an image of a Least Flycatcher but I could use some backup on that ID! They are quite rare and I sure hope I was not hallucinating.

Saw this gorgeous Bald Eagle by the Trent River. These awesome birds are making a huge come back here. Environmental protections work.

These rock formations abound in Arches National Park. The park is very easy to get around in and some of the sights, like this are visible from the roadside, making it perfect for people with impaired mobility.

I truly miss Canyonlands National Park. I applaud my southern neighbours for their willingness to invest in protecting treasures like this.

Waited by the trail for a while to catch this raven who was enjoying soaring the updrafts from the Grand Canyon.
