Ingleside - I tried in vain all winter to track down these birds. Very few in our area but many to the north. I finally located a small flock in a crabapple tree. They were very cooperative and the light was excellent.

South Lancaster - Cooper Marsh. Finally. I went for the birds this morning and had the pair in the same area others had seen them. Light was bad (backlight) but the birds were close enough for a good shot. The main issue was all the grasses and bushes in the way. It took a couple of hours to make it work.

Cornwall - this is a 'green morph' bird. About 1 in 100 males have a colour difference due to a genetic variation. This results in a yellow-green tone with more yellow on the wings and reduced browns overall. Streaking is subdued. Very colourful.

Cornwall - The past two weeks have been a blast in Eastern and Central Ontario. Many feeders have 50, 100 even 300 Siskins. Best showing in over 30 years.

Ingleside - This Tom turkey in all its spring colour spent time up close and personal with me. I was shooting spring birds, sitting on a camp stool when it came charging towards me. It moved right by me at 3 feet and began to feed on a few seeds I had sprinkled on the ground. After a few minutes I tossed out some more and it continued to feed, coming very close. At one point I thought I'd see if it was brave enough to take from my hand. It hesitated but did it, twice. That was quite an experience. Remember I was sitting at its level so I watched it 'like a hawk' at all times. I didn't bother it and he didn't threaten me. He eventually walked calmly away. The tough part for me was most of the time he was too close to shoot :)

Wolfe Island - Kingston. After trying unsuccessfully for hours to get a shot of one of the many harriers present I finally got lucky with this one.
