Green Heron: ISO 1250, 840mm, f/9.0, 1/1600
This is a continuation of my previous post.
This Green Heron had landed beside me at Lock 1 of the Trent-Severn Waterway in Quinte West, Ontario.
I had given up, as I wasn't getting much action in the river valley, when this Green Heron flew down and started fishing right beside me. I have seen this species of bird before, but never gotten this close to one.

Green Heron at Lock 1: ISO 1250, 840mm, f/9.0, 1/320
This is another image taken at my new favourite spot at the bottom of Lock 1 of the Trent-Severn Waterway.
I was finally able to get out to take some pictures on my day off from work. I feared that I had missed most of the migratory birds that flow through this area as they head south for the winter.

This shot was one of the last I had taken as he flew from the riverbank to this tree branch that hangs over the river. As you can see, the leaves were just starting to change colour for the start of fall.

A Bee and a Coneflower: ISO 1600, 400mm, f/8.0, 1/2500
I needed some colour today.
The snow has been falling here for the last week and cold temperatures accompany it.
This photo of a bee and a coneflower was taken in early October, during a warmer-than-usual fall.

Maple Leaf in Water: ISO 400, 140mm, f/2.8, 1/300
I took this shot the same day as I took the Mute Swan (Cygnet) at Lock #1 of the Trent Severn Waterway in Quinte West, Ontario.
Fall colours arrived late this year but they still never disappoint.

Harmonia and a Cherry Leaf: ISO 1600, 60mm, f/7.1, 1/200
The weather is still warm here and the leaves on the trees are just starting to change to their fall colours.
I was watering the flowers last night and I seen a large amount of Ladybugs walking up and down our little cherry tree in the backyard.
They were moving pretty quickly and it was very hard to get a close up. This one was sitting still on this low hanging leaf that had changed colour.

Yellow Rumped Warbler: ISO 3200, 314mm, f/6.3, 1/1600
From my photowalk this morning at Lock #1 Of the Trent Severn Waterway.
I was trying to get a better shot of the shy Great Blue Heron that hangs out by the dam. Instead, I seen a variety of little birds (Sparrows, Warblers, Chickadees) but still no nice shot of the Great Blue.
