female, juvenile
Kingston - Moments before sunset, this juvenile female presented herself for a photo op. The season is almost done; the numbers are dwindling rapidly. Our wintering birds have left and those that were in the U.S. and stopped over briefly are moving on.

Kingston - kinglets are notoriously challenging to photograph so I was shocked when I saw the result. I had no idea the bird cooperated so well.

Kingston - It's "only" a Tree Swallow but the nice play of light made for an attractive shot.

Ottawa - I thought I was done with Snowy Owl pictures but the birds decided otherwise. Only in migration can you find individuals willing to tolerate each other's presence. The sight of a 'flock' of Snowies is not what most expect to see. There were six birds present in a very tight area, two or three usually together most of the time. At one point four birds within 15 feet of each other.

Ingleside - I staked out this bird for over two hours. It was close but behind branches so I had to wait patiently in my car for it to move into the clear. It would often sit quietly for 20-30 minutes, feed within three feet of its position then rest again. It had no problem finding worms.
