Common Loon, Algonquin PP
A pair of common loons allowed me the pleasure of watching them from my canoe early in the morning on this lake in Algonquin Park. They were exhibiting mating behaviour and actively hunting and feeding on crayfish in a shallow bay.
This shot is full frame with the Canon 7D and 400 5.6.
I was searching through some photos taken last summer, and realized that I hadn't made the final ID for this bird. So I sought the help of my friend, Denis Rivard, and his wife who are really good with IDs, and the consensus was that it was a Common Yellowthroat. My thanks to both of them. Photo was taken in a marshy area in the Bill Mason Conservation Area in Dunrobin (Ottawa)

From Wikipedia:
The Common Myna or Indian Myna (Acridotheres tristis) also sometimes spelled Mynah, is a member of the starling family. It is a species of bird native to Asia with its initial home range spanning from Iran, Pakistan, India and Kazakhstan to Malaysia and China. An omnivorous open woodland bird with a strong territorial instinct, the Myna has adapted extremely well to urban environments.
The Myna has been introduced in many other parts of the world and its distribution range is on the increase to an extent that in 2000 the IUCN Species Survival Commission (IUCN) declared it among the World's 100 worst invasive species.[3] The Myna is one of only three birds in this list of invasive species. It is a serious threat to the ecosystems of Australia.

Once a common feature, traditional bandstands are now increasingly scarce in Glasgow's Victorian parks. Kelvingrove's bandstand dates from 1924-5, and was the third built in the park (its predecessors having been built for the 1901 and 1911 Exhibitions). Designed in-house by the City Parks Department, the bandstand is unusual for its amphitheatre seating and its picturesque riverside setting. Although exceedingly popular for band concerts through the 1950s and ‘60s, the bandstand fell into disuse in recent years and consent was given to demolish and redevelop the site in the 1990s. Now recognised as a rare example of its type, the Kelvingrove Bandstand was listed as Category B in 2000 and is now the subject of an ambitious community-based scheme to restore and revitalise the facility as a venue for a wide range of open-air performances and events.

This Common Redpoll was one of many Redpolls (both Common and Hoary) that were enjoying the easy pickings at one of the bird feeding stations at Fort Whyte... these little guys will hang around for a short time now before heading back up to the Arctic for the summer...
Did you know... During winter, some Common Redpolls tunnel into the snow to stay warm during the night. Tunnels may be more than a foot long and 4 inches under the insulating snow... (from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology).
