In the field I always struggle between Hairy and Downy woodpecker if I only get a glance. Looking at this photo it was definitly a Hairy Woodpecker. Happpy I got out and touched grass.

Saw around 60 species of birds today at Point Pelee. It truly is a festival of birds. Well post my final tally and some selection of birds once I get home and process the pictures I took. Some lifers were the prothonotary warbler, American woodcock and white eyed vireos

Election day here in Canada, find some time to participate in society and caste a ballot. Remember you don't get to complain about the government for the next few years unless you vote.

New lifer for me today, broad-winged hawk soaring super high up. Was out taking photos for the city nature challange. Still time to contribute if you see this in the next 24 hours

Great Horned Owl update: lugged out a tripod and used a teleconvertor to take some some 4k videos of the great horn owl nest. Now I'm wondering if I should be looking at parabolic microphones although probably not in the budge this year

I back tracked to where I saw the great horn owl I saw yesterday to see where it came from and I think I found its mate sitting in a nest. Going to track this over the coming weeks. Hopefully will see some fledglings in a couple of weeks

Found the hooter that I heard a couple of days ago. Not the best photos of a great horn owl but first ones in awhile for me. Hopefully I can find where the nest is and figure out a good angle for clearer shots

A new lifer bird for me today. Went to see a flock of Tundra Swans that are refueling on their flight north

Found someone trying to hide from the cold. Felt a little voyeuristic taking this photo today.

Took sometime today to watch some birds in the back yard. I need to get back to photographing more and less doom scrolling

I never knew about this awesome Steam library feature. It allows you to narrow down what games you have in common with friends to play together, even narrow down by genres/tags etc. VERY HELPFUL.
