Amateur bird nerd, and nature lover. Sharing my observations of the amazing diversity around me (mostly in Ontario 🇨🇦). Photos by me, taken with a Nikon Coolpix P950.
- Word in the sky is that today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #reflections. Thought I'd share a couple Great Blue Herons and a Great Egret. 🥰❤️ #birds, #urbanbirding , #getoutside, #nature , #joy

- My entry for today's #BirdoftheDay- a Double-crested cormorant, Great black-backed gull and Scarlet tanager (which should be extra points for being both #outstretched and #red. #birds, #urbanbirding, #getoutside, #nature
- Well, this #outstretched bird was my Christmas #birdoftheday. It took me most of the afternoon to build. When my love for Lego and birding collides! I had a lot of fun putting this #kingfisher together. 🥰🤣 #birds, #birdnerd , #Xmasgift , #getoutside

- I randomly assigned my students a different warbler to research, and then had them design a trading card for them. I'm finding it hysterical how their cards match their personalities. 🤣🥰♥️ #birds, #urbanbirding, #nature, #joy, #getoutside

- I love watching raptors kiting. Pretty sure this is a Red -tailed Hawk. Trying to capture birds in flight is not a skill I have, but when they're kiting they are so still it is much easier! Wind conditions over Lake Ontario were perfect.🥰♥️ #birds, #urbanbirding, #getoutside, #nature, #joy
- An awesome encounter with a White-throated Sparrow perched on the branch of a Cedar tree. I love this time of year. #birds, #fallmigration, #backyardbirding, #urbanbirding , #getoutside, #nature , #joy
- It feels like Ive missed most of Fall migration with a cold, during the most amazing weather 😭 This was the highlight of my day today to see this Red-tailed hawk perched in a tree during afternoon recess with 400 kids playing below. #birds, #fallmigration, #getoutside , #nature , #joy
- I love our native plant garden. we have different plants that bloom in spring, summer and fall. Currently it is New England aster's, and Heath aster's turn. 🥰 #nativeplants, #gardens, #nature, #getoutside, #joy
- I wondered what was eating my butterfly milkweed, and a little of the common milkweed as well....I was hoping it was Monarch butterfly larvae, but nope, it is a Red-legged grasshopper. First season of this garden to have them as visitors. #garden, #nativeplantgardens, #plantnativeplants
- There's still lots of pollinator activity happening in my native plant garden. First time seeing a species of North American grasshopper. Hey there little buddy. 🦗 #gardens , #nativeplantgarden , #plantnativeplants , #nature , #joy
- A little disagreement over food between two Red -eyed Vireos. #birds, #urbanbirding, #getoutside , #nature, #joy
- On today's birding adventure I was certain I had two extra full batteries for my camera....turns out I did not. Of course there were birds everywhere, and I only managed these 3 captures of a Savannah Sparrow. #birds, #sparrows, #nature, #joy , #getoutside, #ontario_birding_
