Manitoba’s 2nd biggest waterfall

After not seeing any of these beautiful butterflies for a few years, it's been heartwarming to see a few Painted Ladies this summer.

This was a bird I hoped we would get to see and photograph while in Manitoba. One evening we were driving along a dirt road and a bird flew across the road right in front of us nearly at eye level. I said to David who was driving that I thought that was a Black-billed Cuckoo. We pulled over and got out and sure enough heard one calling. It was perched close to the road for this shot, socked in some dense vegetation. We had a small opening in the vegetation to get this shot.

Manitoba is so darn flat!

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment and fave my photos...

Just returned from a trip to Manitoba that my pal David Cree and I have been planning for a few years now. This bird was our primary goal, and it completes my goal of photographing all of the eastern warblers. We actually found 7 of this species in the one and a half days we spent looking (I am not counting the first half day which was an overcast and windy afternoon). We searched some areas east of Winnipeg, and most of the birds were in bog areas, except this one, which we found in a forested area. We were able to work with just two of the 7 birds we found, all the others being either indifferent or just wouldn't give us open looks. We have some thoughts as to why that is the case, but suffice it to say when doing small bird photography it is generally best to find birds that others likely have not found, and even better to find birds that others also will not likely find.

It was great getting to hear this species on territory, and to observe it well visually in two separate encounters with different individuals. This bird landed much closer to the trunk of the tree, and we got to see it walk along the branch to the position above, where it sang it's heart out. Few warbler species walk but this is one species that does.

I got eaten by many mosquitos to get this shot blue hour shot of Paint Lake near Thompson, Manitoba, and in Northern Manitoba in the summer, they get quite hungry at dusk. The rain was really coming down at this point.

We storm chased from Alberta to Saskatchewan to Manitoba. Canola fields tend to look the same.

Abandoned homestead near Rathwell, Manitoba. I saw this shot while cruising on the highway. On a whim I pulled out my fisheye and tripod, walked out into the field and was pleased with the results. Hope you enjoy!

Last photo before moving E. Only a few miles north of the U.S. border and most roads E were dead ends. Best escape route was N, and then E. It overtook us anyway and spent an hour in downpours. Pushed us E into the SW corner of Manitoba.
