We have had some purple finches at our feeders lately. The males are brightly coloured, whereas the females do not have the bright colours. I thought maybe I had a picture of a female, but once I looked it up, I don’t believe it is a purple finch. I’ll have to keep looking.
A few weeks ago, we had a bit of an ice storm here. You can see the ice on the branches in the first couple of pictures. The chickadees were hanging around for most of the day because of this. They look a bit scruffier than usual, and they didn’t land where the ice was, […]
The ice is going out, the frogs are singing, and birds are returning. Today we saw our first mergansers, first loon, and of course, some ducks. Spring is definitely here. I’m thankful God made different seasons for us to enjoy.
We saw our first otter of the spring season today. The ice is starting to go out, and the otters like to use the ice for resting on and eating. This one had caught a fish and was eating it. I didn’t have my long lens with me, but will make sure I have it […]
We saw a Canada Goose sitting a long distance out on the ice today, and wondered if something was wrong with it. It sat there for a long time so when we got home from a walk, I took my camera out to see if I could get some pictures of it. By then it […]
We recently had a wedding in our family, and I had the honour of taking the photos.
We’ve had some visitors in our yard lately. It’s nice to see the variety. Except for the raccoon, all of the photos were taken last night and this morning. The fox and the fisher were only an hour apart from each other. It’s interesting to see even this small variety of animals that God has […]
I missed putting these up last fall – so thought I would post it now.
We had a barred owl in our yard the other day. The last time we had a visit was in 2021, so it was good to see. I wasn’t able to get many pictures but thought I would post these. My husband saw the owl catch a mouse and eat it, but I wasn’t fast […]
I started to put these up awhile ago, and am finally doing it now. These are some of the animals I took photos of during 2022.
