We took our pontoon boat on Boshkung Lake for a last ride yesterday before putting it away for the winter. Some of the colours still looked pretty good, but the highlight for us was seeing a bald eagle. It was windy and the lake was quite wavy so it was a challenge to be able […]
We were able to go out in the pontoon boat today. It’s been a wonderful October – lots of rain, but the temperature has been warm for this time of year. We saw several loons. The following pictures were taken on Pine Lake. This is an adult loon with its winter plumage. Sometimes it’s hard […]
Loons are still one of my favourite birds. I’ve collected quite a few photos of them this summer, so thought I would add these.
We enjoy seeing the mallard ducks each summer. I thought I would put a few of my favourite pictures up from this summer, and some from last summer.
We’ve seen a couple of birds we don’t usually see. I wasn’t able to get many pictures of each, so thought I would put each of them on here. This is a juvenile yellow-bellied sapsucker. It is still brownish, and doesn’t have the red that you see on the adult sapsuckers. I’ve seen the adults […]
This morning as I was kayaking back to the house, it started to rain. It is quite warm out still, and it was a light rain, so it wasn’t bothering me. Of course, the loons didn’t mind it either.
I saw a pair of loons today when I was out in the kayak. They were very accommodating, and came up around my kayak several times. They didn’t seem to care that I was there. Loons are probably one of my favourite birds to photograph. God’s handiwork is amazing.
It’s been hard to get a picture of the chipping sparrow because they are hardly still. The only time I saw them still was in the bird feeder, and occasionally in the trees where it is harder to get a clear picture. They are a common sparrow to have around, according to the information I […]
It’s so nice to see the “summer” birds coming into the area. It’s a real sign of spring/summer. One of the birds we like watching for is the Great Blue Heron. We have a couple on our lake right now.
We had four trumpeter swans on our lake this week. I was only able to get pictures of three of them as the other one was too far across the lake. They are beautiful birds to watch. None of them looked like they had tags on them. They may have had leg bands on them, […]
