Eastern Bluebird

Having had the opportunity to watch a pair of nesting Eastern Bluebirds this past spring. I marvelled at the abilty they both had in finding a multitude of different insects to feed on. Rain or shine, it was a nonstop endeavour. It seemed everytime they returned to the nest, it was a different species. Catepillars, larvaes, winged insects, even tree frogs etc. What they could locate inside of an hour, would take a human days to accumulate.

Eastern Black Swallowtail Egg

I discovered this Swallowtail egg on the Fennel in my garden. I thought it looked beautiful and so perfect.

There's something special about the sheer size and magnificence of the humpback whale. This whale soars through the water then dives down with the massive tail slowly descending under the ocean.

Oh-oh: First to Realize

Eagle Incoming: The Heron recognizes the Eagle's configuration, followed immediately by the Seagulls, all of which take to the sky quickly.

those feathers are what caught my eye!

droplets on web

On a foggy morning I found a large spider web with water droplets clinging to it.

Hovering

This male Northern Harrier is hovering above possible prey.

In flight

Another image of a Northern Hawk Owl that I wasn't sure if I got until later that evening. They are very fast.

In Flight

These Northern Hawk Owls are fast in flight. Back in February I was able to capture some flight shots as they flew from perch to perch hunting.

On A Flood Tide

Many heron species (like the Great Blue Heron or Great Egret) are tidal feeders. They actively time their hunting to coincide with the flood tide (the incoming tide). As the water rises, it pushes small fish, crustaceans, and amphibians into shallow areas, marshes, or against mudflats, making them much easier for the heron to catch.

Reflection

This Willet almost gives the impression of which side is up.

Low angle Rudy

This male Rudy Duck came by as I was near the waters edge among the reeds.

Portrait

This White-Faced Ibis posed nicely for me in early June, before the wetlands grass got too tall.
