newly returned for the season

High Park in the early morning light fog

wood ducks

this was just a part of her group of youngsters

early last Spring...

the myriad of colours on the wood duck always amaze me. As seen last Spring.....

a treat of a sighting for me

the brown creepers are always on the move so they are hard to capture with the lens !

sumac flowers set in the late summer and fall are a food source for robins and starlings and many other birds

a Spring returnee !

I lucked into seeing the night heron with his catch before he gulped it down

a happy sighting so late in the season------oct 15th

sighted on Oct 14 and taken at a distance and heavily cropped.

A treat of a sighting, though, at any time, as I rarely see this kind of woodpecker.
