The wood duck. Possibly the most beautiful duck you'll ever see. Elusive here, and finally got a photo in a downtown Halifax park.

Never seen a helmet with a functional visor. Purely there to differentiate mountain bikers from roadies. All about style.

The wife slowing to a walk at the end of a 26.6km run! Shearwater to Seaforth. I tried to get bird photos between dropping her off and picking her up, but she's too fast. #birdingfail #halfmarathon #saltmarshtrail #wifeisabadass

The cardinal, not uncommon at all, but has maintained it's elusiveness from my lens, due to trying not to be creepy in my hood. Finally got a photo of this fella, although a bit early in the day for good light. #northerncardinal #birding #bird #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography
