profile update

I have updated my profile several times...changed the wording....done various things and nothing seems to stick. Today I come back and again, other than my instagram link, there is no content. Also....how do we comment on other members photos? I have yet to hear back on any questions --- Timestamp: 2026-04-17T15:30:00.659Z 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

Hairy woodpecker

Considering I am 1 meter from the feeder and that he took off in my direction, this is pretty good. As usual, the camera is in manual mode, including the lens.

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.
