Gray Jays – Whiskey Jacks
The friendliest of birds, often known the food theft!
So few left
These look so much like female Mallards, but they are not, they do flock with them however once you know what they look like they are easily spotted.
Headed South
You know fall is here when the frogs hibernate and the Egrets leave the Beaver Valley, these three were flying in the biggest flock of Egrets I have seen in locally, at least 30 birds were flocking to fly south.
Herring Gulls
Just a hint of fall
Night Heron in flight
Purple Finch
Simply beautiful
Tree Frog
This little fellow was in my parents outdoor shower, he was about 1/4 inch long, tiny!
Frog Caviar anyone?
Perfectly formed frogs eggs at the side of a pond near Orillia.
Ferruginous Hawk
Wood Ducklings
The Beaver River in the local valley is home to so much wildlife. These are very timid ducks, to se them with a brood and to be close enough to photograph is very rare up here in Canada.
Whooper Swan
The Whooper Swan is the national bird of Finland. It is found off the coast of Alaska and some odd sightings of escaped zoo birds in Ontario.
Hungry like a wolf
Perfect pair
It’s white, that’s for sure
I think I might have confused the name, it’s white, its great, and it’s an Egret
