Sue Bishop: Lovely,Brian!

Sue Bishop: Great find, Brian!

Algonquin Park

Sue Bishop: beautiful shot.
Brian Morin: This was a tough one because it was in a dark forest and settings were much lower than I would have liked. Thankfully there was some background light to help.

Carleton Place - cooperative individual

Sue Bishop: Wonderful!
Brian Morin: In the past week several ibises have turned up in parts of Southern and now here in Eastern Ontario. This bird is arguably the easiest to spot and photograph, beside a subdivision along a walking path. We were able to take time out and check for a couple of Nelson's Sparrows along the cattails. They were much more challenging.

Chris: A great portrait. The lighting is exceptional
Brian Morin: This was luck on all counts. I had heard about this particular bird the day before but didn't know where it was until I tripped over it so to speak. The setting was better than I had imagined and the light was perfect. I actually had to back up to get the shot because I was too close.
