Red Crossbills in North America are quite variable, from small-billed birds that feed on spruce cones to large-billed ones that specialize on pines.

What I believe to be a light juvenile red-tailed hawk shrieking loudly as it circled the trees by Mill Pond. Playing around with birds in flight with the Nikon Z8. I don't think I will be getting rid of my faithful D850 any time soon.

There are very few opportunities around Ottawa to photograph the handsome Red-Headed Woodpecker as this area is on the upper fringe of it's normal distribution.
I had hoped to get an opportunity to photograph one during my trip to southern Ontario. While many people I met there seemed to have some special encounters with this bird most of the time that I saw one it was high in the trees and obscured with many branches.
On the morning of May 13, 2017, near 'The Tip' in Point Pelee National Park, I spotted one Red-Headed Woodpecker who kept returning to the top of one specific tree to feed on the seeds there. I also saw up to 7 Red-Bellied Woodpeckers at a time feeding in the same tree. Despite the height and the many branches between me and the bird I was able to find a small opening through which I could create a few images.
Image cropped as the bird was quite small in the frame due to distance.
I really should get a book with the names of the differents flowes in my area because I don't know what this one is either. Hopefully, someone will tell me. I took its picture because it looked kinda cool. Like It's punching the sky as it's developing.
The other one looks like it's making a face...lol..
I had a lovely walk this afternoon through Lamb's Hollow, a valley where the Grindstone Creek runs past our back garden on its way to the lake. I believe that the valley is a Glacial Spillway left over from the last ice age about 10,000 years ago. It is marshy and marvellous- full of interesting plants and wildlife - and the creek!

I gave Reia a new mask, but i don't think it really matches the armor. I don't have the old mask anyway because I gave it to some dude at BrickFair so oh well lol. Also I wanted to try out a new background/light combo, as well as a new mist or steam effect.
