male, adult, winter plummage
Ottawa - for anyone not familiar with the offseason look for this species it will come as a shock.

male, juvenile
Ottawa - We are into the challenging identification period with a host of confusing fall warblers to deal with. This is obviously a Parula and I think a first year bird.

Algonquin Park - I went all the way to Algonquin to get a picture of a waxwing :) Well the bird did look pretty nice. At this time of year you seldom see any of the local specialty birds like Canada Jays and Black-backed Woodpeckers.

Algonquin Park - How do I know it was a male? Because it was singing us a nice song. "Quick three beers". It was very high up in a dead tree so quite a crop unfortunately. If you've noticed I'm on a flycatcher roll. No chance of an Acadian but maybe I'll still get lucky somehere with a Yellow-bellied.

Whitney - Just outside Algonquin Park. Putting on a nice display. The nice earthtone colour is actually earth. The birds preen with mud and where it is iron-rich it is redder. There is lots of sandy-muddy soil in the area. In the late fall there is less of this activity and the birds' flat gray plumage is revealed. I like this look.

Ingleside - This heron was trying to shake off some of the rain during today's downpour.

male, immature
Ottawa - Who knew I was going to be bringing you another Snowy so soon. This one has been summering in Ottawa on a residential construction site. Boy does it need a bath. Or perhaps that's camouflage "No one will recognize me now."

Long Sault - Common yes but I couldn't pass up these birds in such good light.

Ingleside - I try not to duplicate my subjects too often (Snowy Owls excepted) :) but this Marsh Wren was very cooperative this morning. I love the way they can readily grab on to two cattails for support. That's a Jean-Claude Van Damme move.
