Sandhill Cranes
King Fisher
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
Night Heron in flight
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.

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
You can’t see me, can you?
A walk in the marsh
Bitterns are extremely hard to find, often when at a marsh I can hear them in the vegetation, but they are shy to be seen. This one was at Rondeau Provincial Park, he stood in this same place all day and there wasn’t any convincing him to move, it was a stand off!
Blue Winged-Teal
Three’s a crowd
It’s a freezing cold day along the Lake Erie shores, no doubt the game of chasing the girls is keep these ducks warm.
Pair of Wood Ducks
Piping Plovers
Gaurded by volunteers 24 hours a day, this pair of Piping Plovers have returned to Wasaga Beach to nest. Sadly the chicks rarely make it, they are tiny and frail, between big waves sweeping them away, dogs, people, and predators they have a hard time raising their chicks.
Heron
Sinking fish shack
The shack finally sunk in 2014…
