Cormorant

Cormorants are fishing birds so you often see them when near or on the water. This one had an elevated perch! I believe this is a double crested cormorant.

Bald Eagle

Another 'bucket list' for an American guest who had never seen a Bald Eagle in the wild. You see more than whales when whale watching.

Harbour Seal just chillin'

Seen while on a whale watching tour. The rock was slowly going underwater as the huge Bay of Fundy tides rose...but the seal was enjoying the sun while it could.

Sleeping Humpback

A pair of Humpbacks were seen on my first whale watch of the season. I was working with cruise ship guests...one of whom had seeing whales on her bucket list. I'm so glad we didn't disappoint her!! I love whale watching...and getting paid for it, and sharing with guests from all over the world....bonus!!

The parallel world

In Napanee, Ontario,Canada,Signs of autumn showing up with drizzles of rain and temperature dropping down.These critters were Found in a Sunflower plant minding their own Business each in their own parallel world.

Sun bathing in a spot of light

Was pleasantly surprised to look up and see this barred owl hanging out on a branch above while hiking. Allowed me enough time to pull the camera out and even jumped around a couple different branches checking me out but giving me some different angles. It was a win win experience.

Turkey Vulture.

A juvenile Turkey Vulture, it's head not yet changed to the red of the adult vulture, searches the water's edge for carrion. "As a defense mechanism, Turkey Vultures may vomit on a bird, animal, or human that gets too close. Considering what they eat, this can be a powerful weapon." Cornell. Another reason for a long lens!

Ruby-throated Hummingbird taking a little rest

Spotted this female Ruby-throated Hummingbird in the backyard today. She was so fast but took a few seconds of rest on the wires above. Lucky to get a photo with her tongue out! :) I suppose cleaning herself after getting nectar from the Buddleia (Butterfly) Bush. In case she comes back, I have my bigger lens set in the camera now with hopes to get a better pic.

amphibious bistort

I had a "reflective" morning in my kayak. Came across these beautiful and delicate flowers in the water. I have since learned they are Amphibious Bistort - a member of the knottweed family. I love the things I learn through my camera
