How can I not post this beautiful bird again? This is a male Northern Harrier nicknamed The Gray Ghost. Isn't he beautiful?

I’m often undecided on whether a scene will look better with direct light, or later with supposedly better atmospheric color. This particular scene loses sun 2 hours before sunset this time of year, so I snapped this just before the sun dipped below a nearby ridge. I wish it was closer to golden hour, but I’m happy with the definition the direct light puts on the various contours of the landscape. I wasn’t confident in the sunset colors happening, which turned out to be a good hunch. I guess I’ll go back and try some other time. . .

Found this little Tree Frog hanging out in our Hydrangea bushes. As I was taking pictures of him he took a leap right on my glasses completely took me by surprise.
I'm not sure if this is a feral cat or just a neighborhood cat that likes to sit under my bird feeders in which I shoo him/her away. It seems to be in pretty good health though.
I just got a Sigma 1.4 teleconverter in the mail yesterday so my feline friend became my first practice subject. The quality was still good in low light and it was hand held. So I was very pleased with the results and hopefully I can get a bit closer to skittish wildlife in the future.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
This ground feeding babbler was akin to the Dunnock in its behaviour and size. It was also quite confiding as well so gave us quite close views.

John and I were eating dinner on the back deck when we spotted a gray fox outside the perimeter fence. It walked purposefully along the fence, through a gap in the gate and straight to the bird feeder where it began to scrounge for scraps. Prior to this encounter, we had noticed a worn down path through the grass which we had assumed to be a squirrel trail. Apparently, that path hosts more interesting wildlife than we’d dared to imagine. During our sighting I quietly ducked back inside to grab my camera and snapped a very quick image over the side of the deck. It was dark but I did manage this one fairly respectable shot. Since that evening we have heard red foxes barking in the empty lot behind the house. I’m not really sure what’s happening, but we are watching and listening to see if either species might be denning nearby. Wouldn’t that be a thrill!
This is still a relatively new bird for me, and I love seeing them. On the overcast, foggy and damp winter day we spent at Algonquin the Jays were mostly very tricky to photograph. They spent most of their time in dense tree cover, and their shading - from white to slate black - made every kind of light an adventure. This bird was in enough light to be worth a try, with the dense Spruce habitat providing enough atmosphere.
