Eastern screech-owl, south Winnipeg this weekend. Took me a few trips before I got it. Quick pic, then I left it sleeping. (Heavily cropped. I wasn't that close.)

πΈ A Rare Backyard Visitor β The Northern Cardinal π΄πΏ Today, Iβm thrilled to share a truly rare and special moment I captured right in my own backyard in Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada β a stunning Northern Cardinal!

That flash of crimson against the natural greenery was simply breathtaking β a moment Iβll never forget. As a wildlife and nature photographer, Iβm always on the lookout for the unexpected β and this cardinal delivered in the most unforgettable way. π· Captured by: Photographer Rudi Dueck π Location: Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada π― Gear: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV + 100β400mm lens Let this be a reminder that sometimes, the most amazing wonders of nature can appear right outside your door. βΈ» π Follow My Photography & Outdoor Adventures π Website & Portfolio: www.RudiDueck.com π’ VERO: vero.co/rudidueck βοΈ X (Twitter): x.com/RudiDueck π Bluesky: photographerrudi.bsky.social π· Flickr: flickr.com/photos/rudidueckphotography π₯ YouTube: Nomad Outdoor Adventures ποΈ Merch Store: nomad-outdoor-adventure.creator-spring.com π₯ Rumble: rumble.com/c/c-506087 βΈ» #PhotographerRudiDueck #RudiDueckPhotography #NomadOutdoorAdventures #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #NorthernCardinal #BackyardBirding #RareBirdSighting #WildlifePhotography #ManitobaBirds #Steinbach #CanonWildlife #OutdoorPhotographer #ExploreCanada #BirdsOfInstagram #BirdLovers #CanadianNature #BackyardWildlife #CanonCanada #CanonPhotography

He visits my neighbour's feeder everyday at 11:30 and often is back at 1:30. Always singing. Tossed the seeds he doesn't want
Creeping through the fence with my camera. Can't ever get him just sitting in the tree.

A Hairy Woodpecker is clinging to a birdfeeder on a cool March day.
Hairy woodpeckers have longer beaks and their outer tail feathers are unmarked as opposed to the spotted ones on downy woodpeckers. Good to know. #birds #birding #hairywoodpeckers #manitobabirds #birdphotography
