Just horrible

What did you do to the Cangeo photo club??? It's horrible. Just horrible. I can't even view my images from my old portfolio. The thumbnails are there but when you click on it, the new page shows the title and description but no photo image. My profile and images are now hidden and private. Nobody can google my name and images and simply click on my old photos or profile to see my content. Sterile layout and website reminds me how the Natgeo photo club changed to instagram square layout style years ago. Generic and sterile. Why. Just....why. --- Timestamp: 2026-04-17T04:46:12.054Z Page: https://photoclub.canadiangeographic.ca/feedback User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Blue jay in flight

Look out! Blue jay flying through!

Downy Woodpecker

Somewhere in Mississauga, Ontario

Self portrait of a blue jay

The lighting is perfect on this blue jay out and about on a hike at the Riverwood Conservatory, Ontario.

Bald Eagle

Spotted a bald eagle on top of a 300 or more year old tree. It was snowing and eagle was soaked. Didn’t seem to care whatsoever. Oakville, Ontario

Mullein in Thought

When I came across the bluebirds again, I saw some Mullein and instantly thought how amazing would it be if one landed on the Mullein? Well, it wasn't long, it was as if they could read my mind, this male had landed on one! It was earlier in the morning and overcast, so I was constantly changing my settings to make sure the lighting was right. But I knew I had to try my best, as I don't think I will get this opportunity too often.

Grey Ghost

I was on my way to work, when I saw something flying low over a field. I quickly stopped and was able to get a better look, it was a male Northern Harrier. I didn't have much time, I was going to be late for work, but I did manage to get some photos before I had to leave. He was so amazing to watch as he flew low over the grass, listening and watching the ground below him.

Whatcha Doin?

I had a friend tell me there was not one, but two Snow Geese in their field. It didn't take me long and I was on my way there. When I got to their place, I saw the two of them walking around in their field with a flock of Canada Geese. I walked to the small body of water, a little ways away from the field, but still visible from my spot. I decided to wait there, as I was sure they would all eventually go back to the water. Well, waiting them out worked, they had all started walking to the water, then out of nowhere, took off and landed in the pond.

I just really loved the way they looked with the tall grass all around them.

Take Off

I love watching the Bluebirds, one of the tasks that has proven to be difficult, is getting them as they take off from their perch. I have a new camera and I am still trying to figure out the settings. A good way to figure them and my camera out, is on something that makes fast, unpredictable movement, like the Bluebirds.

Be One With The Willows

When I was driving home, I saw some Bluebirds, so I pulled over to find them. As I was sitting there, I noticed a lot of movement in a bush not far from me, so I decided to move my focus onto it. That's when I saw about half a dozen Ruby-crowned Kinglets chasing each other around. They were proving to be difficult to focus on, but once in a while, one would be still enough to get my camera focused and take a photo.
