That is quite hardcore!

If that flycatcher didn’t vocalize then I have bad news on them counting a new bird lol

A pied-billed grebe floating on a pond.

This Pied-billed Grebe is much less skittish as a group of them stayed behind on the pond after most of the other ducks and geese took off.

A white-crowned sparrow perched on a branch in the falling rain.

It’s definitely sparrow season again as I have spotted some White-crowned Sparrows mixed in with all the other sparrows.

You are welcome! Glad you like them. Always happy to share!

A tufted titmouse perched on a branch.

Up close with a Tufted Titmouse. I put away the zoom lens and used my 50mm lens to get this shot.

A scarlet tanager in its non bright red plumage splashing in a bath amongst the rocks.

Was very excited to see an alternate plumage Scarlet Tanager stop by my bird bath during its migration the other day. These birds are one of my favourites but I rarely see them!

A white-throated sparrow perched on a branch.

Been hearing the first few White-throated Sparrows of the fall buzzing in the bushes and they make their way south.

Thanks!

I don’t disagree but I might have been part of the problem this year. It wasn’t Christmas, but I did just buy some winter gloves this weekend that Costco just put out. Capitalism just played me like a fiddle.

A pine Siskin perched on a branch with some small leaves.

This season’s winter finch forecast was just released and it seems we might have a decent shot at seeing some uncommon winter birds like this Pine Siskin! Something to look forward to this winter!

A group of American White Pelicans hunting in the water together.

I am not a stranger to American White Pelicans, but when I went to the nearby wildlife refuge I was shocked to see a couple hundred of them floating around looking for fish.

A female red-bellied woodpecker perched on a branch somewhat showing its red belly.

Despite being a year round backyard resident, the Red-bellied Woodpecker rarely shows up in a photogenic spot. So photos like these are still pretty uncommon for me lol.

I had a vagrant rufous hummingbird show up in my yard several years ago so I keep mine up for a while in the fall because I irrationally expect another one to show up anytime lol.

I still have my feeder up as well for the time lol.

A male ruby-throated hummingbird perched on a branch.

It’s been a bit since I have seen a Ruby-throated Hummingbird at my feeder so my hummingbird time is seemingly at an end for another year. Unless I take a trip somewhere lol.

A carolina wren perched on the end of a branch.

A Carolina Wren that is currently not making the loudest sound in the backyard lol.

Most definitely a blue winged teal!

Thank you! It came out just the way I was hoping!

A black-capped chickadee perched on a branch with some berries in front of a fall coloured background.

Always can expect the Black-capped Chickadees to find the most photogenic spots lol.

A female purple finch perched on a branch.

For me, a Purple Finch is a sign of the changing seasons.

Thank you!

A Savannah sparrow perched on a flower stem.

The sparrows, like this Savannah Sparrow, are moving through now. It was a fun experience to catch one in some good light!
