Barred Owl | Video Highlight


Beacon Hill Park

Creeping Along


Brown Creeper

Brown Creeper. We see quite a few of these from time to time. It can be hard to get a decent shot of one of them. Lauren spotted it and luckily it was quite low on the tree.

This nest should have been easier for us to spot based on its location. Luckily, the mother caught my eye which lead us to it. Its been an incredible couple of weeks getting to watch so many hummingbird babies grow up.

This is the fifth nest we have come to monitor which just happened to land on Cinco de Mayo. It made for a goofy headline.

A truly magical day in the SEW (South East Woods). We bumped in to Cheryl and some other folks passing by and ended up being honoured by the presence of a pair of Barred Owl's.
 
We made off with some great photo's and video too.

The Day Owl


Barred Owl

A Barred Owl made an appearance today as we walked through the SEW (South East Woods) at Beacon Hill Park during noon. We also checked in on a few baby hummingbird nests and even found a new one!
 
The Chickadees have made a nest and the Bush Tits have made a beautiful one as well.
 
I really enjoy how green the leaves are in the back drop of these photo's. Makes everything look so alive!

Island View Beach Provincial Park


Bald Eagle

We made a trip out this way because I have had some luck in the past spotting a baldy up in one of the tree's by the parking lot. When we arrived, I wasn't surprised to see this one in the exact same spot.
 
Must be a great spot to view the shores and the sea. Great vantage point.

The Feeder | Take 2


Hummingbird
 
I took this photo on our balcony. The color on the head is what we admired most about it. It was a dark purplish pink.
 
We have a few of them that stop by daily. This one is definitely the most colorful up to date.
