Insane aerobatic ability on display here. And this is not a small bird! Cc: @ShannonSkalos

Tree swallows parents in our nest box alternate foraging forays to bring food back to the nestlings. Each bird's flight was 2 to 3 minutes, with the arrival/departure manoever rivalling the timing of Cirque du Soleil's best! @Cirque

What you do on your property matters, no matter how small it is. The second largest population of endangered mottled duskywing occurs along the road sides of a low density residential area in Ontario. The folks that choose not to mow are supporting it's existence here.

@Jessicalinton86 I talked about your success with the reintrodution of Jefferson salamanders and the mottled duskywing! @LaurelHeightsSS @wrdsb

@RhoPrimoLeonis Thank you!

The moon, having just turned full, sets at sunrise this morning over Lake Huron near Tobermory!

Calypso, the Holy Grail of orchids on the Bruce Peninsula. With and without flash...

It doesn't get much better than this! Finding creatures, treating them with care and respect, and then returning them to nature. Great job @SDStampeders ! Thanks for coming to Jaffa!

Loving the lichens and this Black & White Warbler's not too shabby either! 😉 These upside-down goofballs compensate for color with zebra-like patterns. Who's got your vote: Team Lichen or Team Warbler? Drop a comment with your pick! #NatureLovers #Birding

[Peter Rasberry @peter_rasberry]

This time add blue jay, red-breasted nuthatch, mourning dove, and (out of frame) common grackle and purple finch. 9 species oblivious to the rain though the feeder domes help!

[Peter Rasberry @peter_rasberry]

8 pm, steady rain, feeders are busy just the same! Pair of cardinals, rose-breasted grosbeak, white-crowned sparrow and ruby-throated hummingbird!

[Peter Rasberry @peter_rasberry]

@LisaGuylee Thank you ☺️

[Peter Rasberry @peter_rasberry]

My first ever photos of a winter wren! Easy to locate with their boisterous, never-ending song, but they are otherwise secretive and not an easy bird to catch in the open.

Nashville Warbler has a very distinctive eyering and a faint chestnut cap.

The male and female Black-throated Blue Warblers have very different plumages. Both are gorgeous and a thrill to see.

A bird I don't see very often, a Least Bittern. This one flew past me in my backyard marsh. They are very small herons, and like to fish by hanging onto reeds and hovering just over the water. I am hoping that this one liked the fishing grounds and will stick around.

[Peter Rasberry @peter_rasberry]

A few rare clean looks at American redstart and Black-throated green warblers this morning! New birds arriving following a nocturnal flight of over 400 million according to https://t.co/hW2jOOPaCC

[Peter Rasberry @peter_rasberry]

Tree swallows have taken up residence in one of our nest boxes again this year. Appears to be some discussion about house rules...

[Peter Rasberry @peter_rasberry]

Yellow-rumped warblers and American redstarts are pretty thick everywhere on the Bruce Peninsula right now.

[Peter Rasberry @peter_rasberry]

A good sized flock of Cape May warblers fed unperturbed along the road yesterday. Very active after a long overnight flight, and apparently lots to eat!
