I'd rather be out birding. 🤓 🇨🇦
So many layers of ecology and biology... was fortunate enough to watch a pair of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers build their nest this past week. Why not live in a custom built cocoon penthouse suite overlooking the bay? #Birds #Birding #Birdsofbluesky #Photography #Nature #Birdnerd #Springmigration

Sometimes when you leaf through the bird book, you can wonder: does this bird even exist? The White-eyed Vireo was one of these specimens for me. Until this Spring. Thank you to all the fellow birders on the trail who helped locate one. #Birds #Birding #Birdsofbluesky #Nature #Photography #Outdoors

It was near the end of a full day of birding when this Canada Warbler popped up from the undergrowth. It stayed low and in thick cover for a while, but eventually came up top to see what was going on. Such a cool bird! #Birds #Birding #Birdsofbluesky #Nature #Photography #Warblers #Ontario #Canada

Spring migration 2025 is proving to be action packed thus far. This Pileated Woodpecker was VERY focused on finding lunch in this fallen tree. It was a marvel to behold. #Birding #Birds #Photography #BirdsofBluesky #Nature #Ontario #Canada #Birdwatching #Hike #Outdoors

Hermit Thrushes love to be bopping around the forest floor, hiding behind logs, and usually flying away into thicker foliage. Luckily, this individual stood still for a few seconds for a pic - thanks pal! #Birding #Birdwatching #Birds #Photography #BirdsofBluesky #Nature #Outdoors #Ontario #Canada

There are many reasons why I love birding; one of them is sudden arrival moments like this when a Vesper Sparrow pops up out of the underbrush and perches perfectly. Hello there! #Birding #Birds #Photography #Nature #Ontario #Canada #Outdoors #SpringMigration #Wildlifephotography #Hike #Roadtrip

Been a min since my last post 🙃 Am really trying to be in the field more, and on my phone less. Spring migration is fully underway, woo hoo! Here is a Northern Flicker I spotted in Rondeau Prov Park today 🫶 #Birding #Birds #Photography #Nature #Outdoors #Ontario #Canada #Camping #Roadtrip

Green Heron, it is named. Yet, its plumage is so much more than that. This was early fall, and I'd heard it a number of times during the day before finally catching a glimpse by the pond. Such an amazing creature. #Birds #Birding #Photography #Nature #Birder #Outdoors #Ontario #Canada

Every time I go into the field, there's always something incredible to be discovered. This Yellow Warbler taking flight is no exception. Pic was snapped in the spring while birding near a marsh.

While hiking a trail next to a large marsh/lagoon in hopes of spotting warblers, I once again interrupted somebody's breakfast. This muskrat kept nibbling for a while, and then we both moved on with our day. Cheerio.

Another great aspect to birding: when other birders share a sighting. Thanks to 2 birders in Rondeau Prov. Park, I was able to glimpse this Eastern Screech Owl in spring. (Sorry to interrupt your nap.) 🫶 #Birds #Birding #Nature #Birder #Nature #Ontario #Canada #Owls #photography #Hike #Outdoors

The Orion Nebula (M42) is a stellar nursery 1,344 light-years away. It glows in vibrant pinks, reds, and purples, where young stars form from swirling gas and dust. This iconic nebula offers a glimpse into the process of star birth in the universe.

Whenever you visit the Big Creek marsh down at Long Point, moments like this can strike at any time. It's such a vast habitat, and fortunately this Great Blue Heron decided to hang out for a bit with me that fine spring day. #Birds #Birding #addbirder #Nature #Photography #Outdoors #Wildlife

It takes 5 years for a bald eagle's white plumage to fully develop - so it's not uncommon to come across juvenile individuals during fall migration. Such was the case at Long Point this day. Very happy to have a photo of this one! 🫶 #Birds #Birding #Nature #Hiking #Photography #Nikon #Outdoors
