Got a goodie today! Gyrfalcon

My kitchen, about this time last year. Was in a nest of damp bread crumbs among some farm crops - sweet potatoes, carrot, green beans, etc. Sorry, I didn't hear a song or call. Hung around for a couple of days; maybe a late fall migrant? I hope everybody has a happy, safe holiday, even you Canadians who've already jumped the gun!

Sometimes you just want your dinner delivered.

We went blueberry picking with the Cedar Waxwings.

You may have noticed a theme developing but as well as being in my overall top ten of favourite birds they are now my Number 1 for entertainment value (if you get a chance just watch them for a while). This one snagged a crayfish and resisted several sibling attacks (including grabbing its miniscule wing and trying to drag it underwater) before needing several attempts to swallow it. They are amazingly self confident at this age - one of the chicks had a confrontation with a Canada Goose and the goose backed off (the adults routinely chased off Mute Swans).

Palm Warbler

A local wetland has a low number of waterfowl this year but a good variety. This Northern Pintail flew in unexpectedly while I was photographing some Bufflehead.

Juvenile Least Bittern (one of the last to leave Ontario) has developed excellent fishing skills - never missed while I was watching.

Tonight is the first time the juvenile Great Horned Owls came to the yard before dark. It gave a chance to get some better pics of them playing.

I was finally able to get out and do some bird photography this morning but no good opportunities came until I got back to my jeep. I just put the camera in the car when this fox came strutting into the parking lot, I managed to grab the camera and fire off a few frames before it disappeared into the woods. I have no idea what it has in its mouth.
