House Finch (Toronto, Ontario, May 2026) Another bird that I think doesn't get enough love because of how ubiquitous they can be. I have so much affection for House Finches. They used to perch on our apartment balcony and sing in the mornings. #birds #birdwatching #photography #birdphotography

House Sparrows (Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario, June 2026) House Sparrows are so ubiquitous, it's easy to overlook them. But when you get close, they are beautiful, with wonderful colour details. Female in the first photo, juvenile in the second. #birds #birdwatching #photography #birdphotography

There has been an absolute explosion of caterpillars in Taylor Creek Park this past week, and the birds are treating it like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Spotted a Northern Cardinal feeding a caterpillar to a fledgling. #birds #birdwatching #photography #birdphotography

99.9% of the time, Cedar Waxwings look very sleek, and then 0.1% of the time they look like poofy boys. #birds #birdwatching #photography #birdphotography

Also, this Cardinal looked at me like Andy Rooney. 😂 #birds #birdwatching #photography #birdphotography

Cedar Waxwing (Taylor Creek Park, Toronto, Ontario, June 2026) Waxwings get their name from those little red patches on their wingtips, which make it look like they were dipped in sealing wax. #birds #birdwatching #photography #birdphotography

Northern Mockingbird (Oak Hill Cemetery, Washington, DC, March 2025) Mockingbirds helped spark my love of birding. We used to hear them outside our DC apartment performing remarkable impressions of car alarms, as well as imitating other birds. #birds #birdwatching #photography #birdphotography

Northern Cardinal (Taylor Creek Park, Toronto, Ontario, June 2026) I never get tired of Cardinals. They are extraordinarily beautiful. This fine fellow very politely perched on a branch with good lighting and then made sure I got his good side. #birds #birdwatching #photography #birdphotography
