Presqu'ile Provincial Park - I don't take many feeder pictures but I will make an exception from time to time. This was certainly one of those times. The bird didn't land on adjacent trees but came directly to the feeder. What made this even better was that I was sitting on a recliner at one side of the yard talking with my friend who was on his deck while we both waited for action to follow.

Williamstown - Imagine my surprise when at sunset I spot this little guy beside the road. Their instinct is to remain still but of course that doesn't help when you have zero cover. It even treated me to a little dance before it eventually flew.

Morrisburg - I was in a field in a blind waiting for other quarry when this bird strolled by at close range. Worked for me :)

Crysler - The main migration for these birds is on. Their cheery song is a welcome spring sound.

Crysler - A young male; a few snow flurries contrasting with his tropical look. After the record low and snow squalls throughout the day, he must have wondered if he'd made a mistake. :)

Crysler - If you have ever attempted to get pictures of this species you know how frustrating that can be. Well today I hit the jackpot. Shot from my car – almost no crop.

Williamsburg - I was surprised when I found this bird because it was in the same area that I had the female Kestrel a while ago. I wondered if it would be as cooperative as she was and after moving slowly along the road to avoid flushing it I eventually got quite a number of good shots. It was hunting the ditch, ignoring me as well as cars and motorcycles driving by. I watched it for 10 minutes being as close as 6 metres with my car. It didn't care. It eventually caught a small garter snake and flew off into the woods. Cool. This bird was browner than some. I later saw the mate which was a bit rustier in the breast markings.
