Finished up this prototype nest cavity camera and it’s now on its way to northern Ontario with Mark Peck for a 10 day breeding bird atlas canoe trip. Really wish there was some Raspberry Pi Zero 2W available as it would solve a few speed issues.

Hey City of Guelph maybe time to have a chat with your crews about sharing the road with cyclists as one employee in a city pick was just yelling out their window at me #dobetter

Twitched a Swallow-tailed Kite relatively close to home. Couldn’t resist seeing one as they normally wouldn’t get closer to me than Florida!

Meet the elusive Veery! A #thrush that's shy, but steals the show with its song. Takes you back to those summer nights, doesn't it? 🎵 It's a game of hide and seek with them but oh, that split-second view is worth it.

Just started our birding trip at #RondeauPark. Not a species fiesta, but an unexpected treat: More Blue-headed Vireos than usual! 🐦 Quite a shift from last year's Magnolia Warblers. What's your most memorable encounter with a Vireo? #BirdingAdventures

Day 2 at #RondeauPark started slow, then boom! Yellow-throated Warbler sighted nearby - we were on it like a hawk!🦅 Bonus? Both Dowitcher species (yeah, I can't tell 'em apart either) and seven Willets. Shore-birding's growing on me: cool, tricky, but not gull-level tough!😂

Thrilled to test the Canon R5 & RF 800 f5.6, thanks to my CPS membership. They say gear doesn't matter, but try spotting sunspots at sunrise with a 300mm!😂 Big thanks to Canon Canada. Now, to make this setup a permanent part of my kit... #CameraTalk #PhotographyGear

Loving the lichens and this Black & White Warbler's not too shabby either! 😉 These upside-down goofballs compensate for color with zebra-like patterns. Who's got your vote: Team Lichen or Team Warbler? Drop a comment with your pick! #NatureLovers #Birding

Was going to do a 100km training ride yesterday with a side of Connecticut Warbler but this Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, a Texas bird, showed up 20km from the house. Quick change of route and I got to experience this marvel 🤩🤯

Wrens, especially Carolina Wrens, are tiny packages of big personality. With songs fit for birds 10x their size, they're everywhere in Rondeau! This one, with a spider meal not for itself but likely for chicks, let me snap a great pic. 📸 Can you ID the spider? #BirdingFun

Picking a favorite warbler is tough! But Magnolia Warblers have a special place in my heart. 📸 They’re common, but underappreciated - their beautiful song & elusive nature make the chase worthwhile. Snapped a few shots of this one at Rondeau! Do they make your warbler top 10?

Meet the aptly named Solitary Sandpiper! 🐦 Spotted this one strolling and snacking alone. Soon, it was just me and this remarkable bird - its fondness for forest ponds made for great reflection shots. Sometimes, solitude gifts the best moments. #Birdwatching #NaturePhotography
