Tree swallows

A wet and chilly walk along the Ottawa River this Saturday. The weather certainly didn’t deter these Tree Swallows from their daily activities. The challenge here was trying to capture one of these speedsters in flight. Gotta work on my panning technique.

At one point there were scores of swallows perching in a tree. Much easier to photograph when they’re standing still…

Common Redpoles

To kick things off in bird photography, here’s a few photos of redopoles taken this weekend.

A few weeks ago, we had just a couple hanging around the feeders. Now others have found us and there are dozens every day all day. They are voracious and feed pretty much nonstop.
