A perfect morning

A gorgeous start to Canada Day.

These are a few more photos from my wonderful walk last Sunday morning. It took me some time to identify the type of bird when I got home; going back and forth from the computer screen to my bird book and bird websites to figure it out.

A common yellowthroat (bottom right) in the long grasses that line the river. I am not certain what type of bird is top left. 1/250 sec, f5.6, ISO 100 — A common yellowthroat (bottom right) in the long grasses that line the river. I am not certain what type of bird is top left.

I included this not because it is a great picture (clearly, it isn't). When reviewing it though, it reminded me a bit of those old Where's Waldo books. There is a yellowthroat in this picture... somewhere :) — I included this not because it is a great picture (clearly, it isn’t).

I knew it wasn't a goldfinch I was seeing when flashes of brilliant yellow appeared in the trees and grasses while I was out walking (although I have seen goldfinches along other stretches of the dike before). It took a bit of searching through my bird book in order to figure out what to call this beauty. 1/400 sec, f6.3, ISO 400 — I knew it wasn’t a goldfinch I was seeing when flashes of brilliant yellow appeared in the trees and grasses while I was out walking (although I have seen goldfinches along other stretches of the dike before).

I saw this beauty driving home this morning. I was amazed when it calmly stood by, my car parked no more than 6 feet away, while I snapped a few quick pictures with my phone.

Sunday Morning Sunrise

Sunday morning was incredibly beautiful. We were up bright and early, and heading off for our favourite spot at the dikes before 6. I haven’t had much success recently when I have taken my camera along, but this past Sunday more than made up for that. I’ve got lots of images to go through, both landscape and of birds. 🙂

As I was driving, the light was so lovely that I had to pull aside and put on my 4-way flashers while I snapped away. Good thing it was so early and the road was deserted.

Here are a few shots from the side of the road. More to follow in the coming days as I have time to edit and organize.
