I think this Sanderling is ecstatic that there was no ice at the beach. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Another very cold day today, so I am just trying to brush it off like this Marbled Godwit is brushing off the sand at the beach lol. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Another cold spell coming so we think warm thoughts like this Reddish Egret on the beach. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

The Black-capped Chickadee is a reliable subject to photograph lol. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

A Dark-eyed Junco searching for a snack on the ground. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

I wonder if when I took this photo of a Mallard if it was thinking something like “Things would sure be better if there was no ice”. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

The Horned Lark is the 2026 Bird of the Year. This one has a mouthful of road grit. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

We took a ski trip to Quebec over new years and managed to squeeze some birding in. We were rewarded with some Pine Grosbeaks! I also assure you, it was still much colder there than this photo suggests lol. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Everytime I see an American Goldfinch this winter I secretly hold out hope it brings along one of its winter finch friends to the feeder. No luck so far in that regard lol. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

The White-breasted Nuthatch feels like the overlooked nuthatch this winter lol. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Hairy Woodpeckers are infrequent visitors to the backyard which means photography opportunities are even less frequent! #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Happy New Year! New year, same birds out there, including ones like this American Robin. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

A Mute Swan navigating the ice. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Carolina Wrens are becoming a year round backyard bird for us here now. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Didn’t get a chance to photograph in the ice today, so here is a Dark-eyed Junco in the snow from a month ago. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

A male Northern Cardinal on a snowy day. Merry Christmas! #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

This Mourning Dove doesn’t seem to mind the snow. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

A Black-capped Chickadee braving the winter elements. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

This was the only one Snow Bunting I saw on my first Christmas Count of the year. At least it posed nicely for me on the ground lol. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

An American Kestrel doesn’t seem to mind the man made structures. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

It’s Christmas Bird Count season which doesn’t usually mean good photo opportunities, but here’s a shot of a Golden-crowned Kinglet from last years CBC. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Even though it’s still technically fall today, the leaves that gave me the colour behind this Red-breasted Nuthatch have long since fallen lol. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

A Tufted Titmouse pondering all the snow around it. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

A Downy Woodpecker just hanging out. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

This Little Blue Heron was looking for a snack on the beach. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

The irony of calling it a Snowy Egret is that you will never find them in snow like we have here now lol. Found this one on a golf course in Florida. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Despite the deep freeze we have today, it will eventually be warbler time again, right? A Palm Warbler on a branch. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

We had a snow day today so let’s remember some warmer beach days with a Least Tern lol.

Waiting for late April/early May when the Baltimore Orioles show up in the yard again! #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Never thought I would have as much fun laying in the mud to photograph birds like this Greater Yellowlegs as I do lol. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

My warbler photos are something I need to put more time into. I usually can only get these “messy” backgrounds like I did with this Blue-winged Warbler. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR

Got nice and close to a migrating Common Loon back in early spring and I didn’t even need a kayak or boat to do it lol. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #TRAHR
