Bald Eagles with their two chicks
These Eagles are safely tucked away … you can see them too if you like to take your camera gear on a three hour paddle to get to the nest which is then way, way up in a huge tree … the Eagles took over a Great Blue Heron Rookery which is why there are two nests in one tree as a Heron would. The quiet canoes don’t seem to disturb the birds at all, they come and go and are very relaxed while they feed the chicks. I don’t believe in causing birds to take flight and make a point of leaving with them in the nest, even if I haven’t got my shot. for years I have enjoyed a Monday paddle past this nest and each year this pair successfully raise one or two chicks, fed mostly at the expense of the Canada Goose population. Having said this, the location is top secret! ...

I need a bigger LENS
Spring migration is well under way … I don’t even know how many varieties of ducks there were at the Leslie Street Spit, my lens was too short! Redheads are the ones with brown heads. The Bufflehead (male) is the little guy at front and centre, I think there is a female Goldeneye in the bottom right. Gadwall is top...
