Perched atop an old grain silo in Breslau, this Turkey Vulture surveyed the land like it owned the place… and honestly, it might.

Canada Goose
Is there a more terrifying creature in Canada. Clearly he is deciding if I am either a threat... or lunch.

My local photography group visited the @cambridgebutterflyconservatory this morning. My macro skills still need some practice, but the subjects were absolutely incredible to photograph.

WoodDuck
Still not sure whether this duck waded through paint to look like a Wood Duck.... or is this just a reflection from some bridge graffiti.

Three Common Goldeneye males in flight. I love the whistling sounds these birds make as they zoom by.

Male Goldeneye in flight
Male Common Goldeneyes migrate through Southern Ontario every winter. Their sharp black-and-white plumage, yellow eyes, and circular cheek patch are key ID features.

Mute Swan
Of course I found swans in France. You know I can’t resist. This one at Versailles was striking a full royal pose.

Trumpeter Swan
I never get tired of seeing Trumpeter Swans up close. That long neck and jet-black bill are a giveaway—plus their size is impossible to miss.

Three Trumpeter Swans in flight
The largest native waterfowl in North America, the trumpeter swan, captured mid-migration. Wingspans up to 10 feet, yet they move with incredible precision.

Rusty Black Bird
Spotted this Rusty Blackbird at Huron Natural Area earlier this week. Populations of this bird have dropped 85% so glad to have captured this image.

The smell of salt air, the hum of waves, and one bird gliding through the golden light. Missing those mornings out east.

Downy Woodpecker
The Downy Woodpecker is the smallest woodpecker in North America, but it’s one of the most common sights in Ontario forests. You’ll often hear them before you see them.

Two more shots of the beautiful Northern Cardinal pair. The female looks as elegant as ever, while the male is in the middle of his molting season.
