Duck in Water: ISO 3200, 400mm, f/6.3, 1/1000

This photo was taken at Vanderwater Conservation Area.

I believe it is a Blue Winged Teal. There were a few of them in a little pond in the Conservation Area.

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.

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.

Robin with Nest Material

Spring is finally here in Quinte West, Ontario! I went for a quick walk this cold morning to find some birds along a fence line. I spotted blackbirds, starlings, chickadees and robins.

This robin was showing off the material it collected to help build the nest in the cedar tree.

Poplar Stand Mt Lorette Pond
Poplar Stand at Mt. Lorette Pond: ISO 800, 15mm, f/4.5, 1/1000

This is a stand of Trembling Aspens in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada. The backdrop is a pond.

Keeping with the black and white from my previous post, thought I would add this to my collection. The aspen bark takes on a silvery tone.
