A horned Grebe swimming to the left on a blue lake between dives. The bird is lit to the left by the late afternoon sun. It has a black bill tipped with white and red eyes surrounded by golden tufts. The rest of the head and back are black with chestnut brown on the neck and sides. Water droplets have beaded and collected on its feathers.

A horned Grebe that I kept sneaking closer to between dives and that had eventually become accustomed to my presence.

I'm just a bit north of their range. I saw them for the first time this spring when I was eclipse chasing in southern Indiana

A black capped chickadee perched on a branch looking left with a single snowflake on the top of its head.

The constant snow flurries the past few days reminded me of this shot of a black capped chickadee. A single snowflake landed on its head after it paused from foraging for a few seconds. 🪶

Sweet moment from the wild in Gaspésie-Québec, on Bonaventure Island where you will find 50 000 northern gannet couples nesting. Quite an extraordinary site to visit! #birds #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #bonjourquebec
