The Downy Woodpecker is the smallest woodpecker in North America, but it’s one of the most common sights in Ontario forests. You’ll often hear them before you see them. #DownyWoodpecker#OntarioWildlife#NaturePhotography#WildlifePhotography#BirdingOntario#SonyAlpha#A6700#gripskw
Morning light glints off a Cedar Waxwing as it flicks its tongue over a freshly picked berry. #CedarWaxwing#BirdPhotography#WildlifePhotography#OntarioWildlife#SonyAlpha#A6700#NaturePhotography#gripskw
Caught mid-thought. This black squirrel looked like it had just remembered where it hid its last acorn. #BlackSquirrel#WildlifePhotography#OntarioWildlife#NaturePhotography#Kitchener#SonyAlpha#A6700#WildOntario#GRIPSKW
The American Mink is a sleek little predator that thrives along Ontario’s rivers. Mostly nocturnal I’ve been challenged to spot one for months, and Saturday morning, luck finally struck. #WildlifePhotography#AmericanMink#GrandRiver#OntarioWildlife#NaturePhotography#WildOntario#SonyAlpha#A6700
Surprisingly he was just flying over to a tree stump on the other side of the boardwalk. Here are some pictures of him where he landed: bsky.app/profile/onta...

Remember the backlit hawk I shared yesterday? Here it is again, sunlit and sharp. You can feel the intensity in its stare. . #RedTailedHawk#Hawk#BirdsofPrey #BirdPhotography#WildlifePhotography#Ontario#Kitchener#CanadaWildlife#CanadianNature#SonyAlpha#A6700#GRIPSKW#HuronNaturalArea

After countless walks and failed attempts, I was able to capture this Belted Kingfisher at Huron Natural Area. These birds are quick, and always seem one step ahead of me. . #BeltedKingfisher#BirdPhotography#OntarioWildlife#HuronNaturalArea#WildlifePhotography#OntarioBirds#SonyAlpha#A6700
“If you’ve noticed a lot of egrets on here recently… you’re not wrong. They’ve taken over the Grand River, and my camera can’t resist. This one really showed off it's white feathers. . #egret#GreatEgret#BirdPhotography#WildlifePhotography#Kitchener#CanadaWildlife#SonyAlpha#A6700#GRIPSKW
A Great Egret in full hunting mode along the Grand River in Kitchener. The patience and precision of these birds always amaze me. #egret#GreatEgret#BirdPhotography#WildlifePhotography#Ontario#Kitchener#CanadaWildlife#SonyAlpha#A6700#GRIPSKW

Two more shots of the beautiful Northern Cardinal pair. The female looks as elegant as ever, while the male is in the middle of his molting season. #Cardinal #BirdPhotography#WildlifePhotography#Ontario#Kitchener#SonyAlpha#A6700#GRIPSKW#HuronNaturalArea
Last night I watched this tiny female Lesser Scaup bravely navigate her way around much larger Mallards and Canada Geese. The little one held her ground, even if she looked a bit intimidated. #lesserscaup#grandriver#BirdPhotography#WildlifePhotography#Ontario#Kitchener#SonyAlpha#A6700#GRIPSKW
A pair of Great Egret moments from the Grand River, enjoying the calm shallows as the morning light spilled across the water. . #egret#GreatEgret#BirdPhotography#WildlifePhotography#Ontario#Kitchener#CanadaWildlife#SonyAlpha#A6700#GRIPSKW
At sunrise, the Grand River welcomed this Egret’s graceful landing ... wings glowing in the first light of day. . #egret#GreatEgret#BirdPhotography#WildlifePhotography#Ontario#Kitchener#CanadaWildlife#SonyAlpha#A6700#GRIPSKW
This Northern Cardinal posed perfectly against the bare branches of Huron Natural Area. . #Cardinal#northerncardinal #BirdPhotography#WildlifePhotography#Ontario#Kitchener#CanadaWildlife#SonyAlpha#A6700#GRIPSKW#HuronNaturalArea
Did you know? The Great Egret was once hunted nearly to extinction for its feathers, but conservation brought them back. This fall I have seen dozens down by the Grand River in Kitchener. #greategret#BirdPhotography#WildlifePhotography#Kitchener#CanadaWildlife#SonyAlpha#A6700#GRIPSKW
The Boeing V-22 Osprey is one of the most unique aircraft out there. Its massive tiltrotors let it fly like a helicopter or a plane depending on the mission. A rare sight to see in action! #Tiltrotor#v22#AviationPhotography#londonairshow#AirshowCanada#PlaneSpotting#skydrivelondon#gripskw#YXU
