Hubby, daddy, lawyer, photographer. This account is primarily filled with wildlife and nature photography by yours truly, with maybe a bit of snark here and there. If this is your vibe, welcome aboard!
Found on facebook. Couldn't not share. (you might need to be of a certain vintage to get this one)

Joining in the #BirdOfTheDay fun this morning. The theme today is #swans.

I have had exactly one encounter with wild swans. In 2018 a wayward pair of Mute Swans somehow got turned around and found themselves in southern New Brunswick for a few days. I found them on a beautiful morning.

Close-up views of a North American Porcupine coming and going. You don't want to grab that tiger by the tail!

This is the last photo in the series from my #pelagic birding tour in the #BayofFundy of a Parasitic Jaeger chasing a Common Tern. It was exciting to watch!

On this #RemembranceDay, I share a photo of the National War Memorial in Ottawa with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the foreground. More details are in the Alt text.

We’re snailposting, post your snails!

Here's a garden snail speeding down the grass blade turnpike.

I played hide-and-seek for a while with this Pileated Woodpecker as it worked its way up the trunk of a tree that was overhanging the river.

I was SO EXCITED when this beautiful Eastern Painted Turtle emerged from the cold dark pond and crawled up onto the VERY LOG I WAS SITTING ON only 13 feet away!

Unfortunately, the minimum focusing distance of my lens is 16 feet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And it doesn't look much better from the back. Kind of like a phoenix that didn't fully resurrect after burning up.

I should've shared this one on Halloween instead of #TalonTuesday. This poor Bald Eagle looks like death warmed over. Having its nictitating membrane closed does not help.
