Couldn't resist this. The scrape was completely calm (unusually) and the bird was just floating about a bit. Under a lovely blue sky the water looked almost milky.

Canada Warbler on Canada Day! This was taken earlier this spring, he was a skulker and only came out briefly into the open for a split moment, enough for this shot and then disappeared again!
Also note that the poor guy had a tick feeding on his eye...

Thanks to all who comment or mark as a favorite it really is much appreciated
Just love watching up close the Canada Geese found in pairs all over the zoo areas. Can't wait for when they find their nests and start laying eggs and raising their gosling families!
One of my favourite trees is this gnarly old tree, which has survived countless freeze-thaw cycles when it is flooded each spring as the ice melts (hopefully very soon).
It provides protection from the currents of the raceway to ducks and geese, nesting opportunities for passerines, stake-out spots for the local hawks and falcons, and more.

After 2 in-flight misses on the small goldeneyes, I opted to photograph one of these canadian jumbo jets in-flight. Whew, finally something that I can catch up to.

I finally got a good Canada Jay photo from my home province!
I've moved to a new computer (first Mac, actually) so discovering some old pictures. This is from Peyto Lake in the Canadian Rockies in 2011.Glacial water gives the lake its amazing colour.
Wikipedia: The Canada warbler (Cardellina canadensis) is a small boreal songbird of the New World warbler family (Parulidae). It summers in Canada and northeastern United States and winters in northern South America.
During the breeding season 82% of the population can be found in Canada and 18% in the United States. In Canada, the summer range extends from southeastern Yukon to Nova Scotia. In the United States, the range extends from northern Minnesota to northern Pennsylvania, east to Long Island, New York. It also nests in the high Appalachians as far south as Georgia. In winter, the Canada warbler's range extends from Guyana to northwestern Bolivia around the northern and western side of the Andean crest.

Niagara Falls and views of Canadian city scape on the right and USA on the left. My wife and I enjoyed this view and took a break here. We watched noticing the bridge was continuously full with traveler's going left. We also watched the boats constantly picking up people to go visit under the falls, which we did ourselves. An amazing experience!
We thought this was a "beautiful" spot with the bridges flowing architecture including Canadian city scape and just a touch of the falls mist in the background.
I decided to go with monochrome to allow more focus on content and shapes than color.
Hope you enjoy my friends! I also thank you for taking time to visit. I was busy doing yard chores yesterday and I still have a friends garden to till up today. Im hoping to get on tonight to visit your images!! Im sorry for this!
God bless you and yours.... us all, as God's children.
July 1, 2023 is Canada's 156th birthday!
Canada Day celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, with the passing of the British North America Act, 1867, when the three separate colonies of the United Canadas, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were united into a single dominion within the British Empire called Canada.
Originally called Dominion Day, the holiday was renamed in 1982, the same year that the Canadian constitution was patriated by the Canada Act, 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Cheers!

Le 1er juillet 2023 est le 156e anniversaire du Canada!
La fête du Canada célèbre l'anniversaire de la Confédération canadienne qui a eu lieu le 1er juillet 1867, avec l'adoption de l'Acte de l'Amérique du Nord britannique, 1867, lorsque les trois colonies distinctes du Canada-Uni, de la Nouvelle-Écosse et du Nouveau-Brunswick ont été unies en un seul dominion au sein de l'Empire britannique appelé Canada.
Appelée à l'origine Fête du Dominion, la fête a été renommée en 1982, la même année que la constitution canadienne a été rapatriée par la Loi sur le Canada de 1982, qui a rompu les vestiges de la dépendance juridique du Parlement du Royaume-Uni.
Acclamations!

The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is a large, widespread wild goose species native to North America, easily recognizable by its black head and neck with a distinctive white chinstrap. It is found near freshwater areas like ponds, lakes, and marshes, and is well adapted to urban environments.
Key Characteristics
Appearance:
They have a brown body, a black head and neck, white cheek patches, and a black beak and legs. Males and females have similar plumage, though males are slightly larger.
Size:
They typically range from 75 to 110 cm in length, with a wingspan of 1.5 to 1.8 meters.
Diet:
Canada geese are primarily herbivores, or plant-eaters, using their serrated bills to graze on grasses, leaves, roots, seeds, and grains. They will also feed on aquatic vegetation and occasionally small insects or fish.
Behavior:
They are social birds that form large, noisy flocks. They are known for being very territorial and can become aggressive if they feel their nests or young are threatened, hissing and charging at perceived dangers.
Habitat and Distribution:
While native to North America, the Canada goose was introduced to Europe (including the UK) in the 17th century as an ornamental bird and has since established widespread populations there. They prefer open, grassy areas near water, which provides a safe escape route from predators.
Migration:
Canada geese are well-known for their seasonal migrations, often flying in a distinctive V-shaped formation that helps conserve energy by reducing wind resistance. The front position is rotated among the flock members as the lead bird tires.
However, not all populations are migratory. In areas with mild climates and consistent food sources (such as urban parks and agricultural fields in the US and UK), many populations have become non-migratory or sedentary year-round residents.
Reproduction:
Canada geese typically form monogamous pair bonds, often mating for life. The female incubates a clutch of around five eggs in a nest built near water, while the male stands guard. Goslings (baby geese) hatch with their eyes open and are able to walk and swim within 24 hours. Both parents lead and protect the goslings, which may form "gang broods" with other families.
It was great to get back to the lake again early today - nothing exotic, but that's okay. Fun to shoot, and see some of my photographer friends again.
I love see and hear Canada geese. This is 37 of a huge flock that flew in this morning. They certainly woke up the neighbourhood with their honking. Canada geese fly at an average speed of about 40 miles per hour when migrating, but may increase their speed to 70 miles per hour if they catch a strong tailwind. They typically fly at an altitude of 2,000 to 8,000 feet, although pilots have reported sightings of Canada geese at altitudes of up to 9,000 feet. Amazing birds!
