Today's Texan beauty is a Western Tanager #birds #birding #birdphotography #Texas #tanager

My second post from Texas today is of a family of dinosaur babies! Green Heron babies that is #birds #babybirds #birding #birdphotography #Texas #GreenHeron Every Heron 𓆀💙

In Texas I saw at least 20 spectacular Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. Most were perched on wires, but on my last evening, 4 were perching in trees around the birding centre. #birds #birding #birdphotography #Texas #flycatcher

To me Roseate Spoonbills look like something Dr. Seuss drew. Beautiful, gorgeous birds! The centre one spreading its wings is a young one, and I like to think those are its adoring parents watching on. #birds #birding #birdphotography #SPI #Texas #spoonbill #roseatespoonbill

Just back from 10 days of beach and birding in Texas. I haven't done my final tally but it is about 150 species, 20 of which are lifers, including this rare for Texas Mangrove Cuckoo. 1st of probably multiple posts per day for the next few weeks! #birding #birds #birdphotography

This is me saying 'try not to miss me.' I'm going to take a break from posting for a couple of weeks! #Bobsbackyard #birds #birding #birdphotography #Ancaster #HamOnt #wildturkey #turkey

I know my hair gel isn't holding, what's it to you!! Red-breasted Merganser takes umbrage #birds #birding #birdphotography #LaSalle #burlington

The Ruby-crowned Kinglets are passing through on their trip from their southern winter vacation to their breeding grounds further north. This one was at our pond this morning. I took 40 shots and this is one of only a few that are reasonably in focus! #birds #birding #HamOnt

I watched this Swamp Sparrow singing his heart out at our local marsh #sparrow #wetlands #birds #birding #birdphotography #Ancaster #HamOnt

I believe this Brown-headed Cowbird was even more exuberant than the last one that I posted having a splash #Bobsbackyard #birds #birding #birdphotography #splishsplash #cowbird #Ancaster #HamOnt

The next generation of Super-Poopers has arrived and they are on the job! #birds #birding #birdphotography #gosling #LaSalle #Burlington

2 guys, 1 girl! I watched 2 male Eastern Towhees chasing each other around. They'd try to sing their 'drink your tea' song before being chased off by the other. Then I noticed a female was watching their shenanigans.

Game on!! Yesterday morning I saw my first warbler of the spring, a Pine Warbler. A harbinger of many more beautiful birds on their way #warblers #spring #migration #birds #birding #Ancaster #HamOnt

Yesterday I got three first of the year sparrows - Eastern Towhee, Field Sparrow, and Swamp Sparrow. Spring has sprung! #birds #birding #birdphotography #sparrows #Ancaster #HamOnt

One last shot of a Canada Jay taken at #Algonquin Park in February that I never got around to posting #birds #birding #birdphotography #CanadaJay #jays

How it started and how it ended up. Brown-headed Cowbird demonstrating how to bathe properly. Open each photo up to full size for full effect! #Bobsbackyard #birds #birding #birdphotography #cowbird #bathtime #splishsplash #Ancaster #HamOnt

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together

The Turtles hanging out at our pond

This Brown-headed Cowbird sure took his bath time seriously. One minute of sheer exuberance! #Bobsbackyard #birds #birding #birdphotography #cowbird #Ancaster #HamOnt
