Photographed the cygnet Trumpeter Swan close to it's parent off the Grindstone Marshes Trail in the RBG Hendrie Valley Sanctuary located in the City of Burlington Ontario Canada.
Royal Botanical Gardens National Historic Site of Canada
The most serious threat to the continued well-being of the Trumpeter Swan is the loss of habitat resulting from expanding human populations. People are also responsible for accidental deaths, although it is rare for these to have a serious effect on populations, except perhaps on a local scale. Such “accidents” include lead poisoning caused by the ingestion of lead shot in areas that are heavily shot over by hunters; collisions with human-made objects, most notably power transmission lines and other overhead wires; and occasional misidentification and illegal shooting.

Adult Great Horned Owl and parent of the owlet shown in previous posts keeping a watchful eye (literally one eye) on the kid.
Always nice to see females with eggs! They're such good mothers though that they're infuriating, as they constantly lean towards the lens, to protect their brood!!

Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos)
John Heinz Wildlife Refuge Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Another image composed while I visited my parents last week. The tree is in their front yard.
This image almost appears to be 3-D, with the optical illusion that the moon is closer to the eye than the passing cloud next to it.
Of course, we know the moon is 238,900 miles away from the earth (384,472 km), and the very highest clouds are only 9 miles up... So this cloud is MUCH closer here than the moon, despite the illusion to the contrary :)
been seeing lots with eggs, and can only wonder at how on earth they have fared over the last couple of weeks with the wind and torrential rain...
This one was at Cramer Gutter - Shropshire
Elasmucha grisea can reach a length of 6.5–8.8 millimetres (0.26–0.35 in). Males are smaller than females. These medium-sized shieldbugs are usually brown-reddish, but there are also gray (hence the Latin species name grisea) and green-brown specimen. Connexivum is black and white. The upperside is covered with several dark dots. The scutellum usually shows an evident black patch. The ventral face is largely punctuated with black. Lateral corners of the pronotum are simply beveled. The front corners of the pronotum show a more pronounced tooth. Antennas are blackish in the male, dark brown in the female. This species, like other parent bugs possess methatoracic and abdominal glands, which discharge a foul smelling secretion. This secretion is used to deter potential enemies and is sometimes released when the bug is disturbed.

This busy parent made us jump as it flew out of the hollow of a tree, flying inches from our faces.
Retiring to a safer distance we watched both parents hurrying to feed the hungry youngsters within the tree.
The light made the photo a little challenging to say the least.
