#BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Two today, so I offer up a pair of Sandhill Cranes; Big Marsh at Long Point, Lake Erie. #birds #birdphotography #wildlifephotography

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #WaterDroplets (birds with water droplets on them) a couple of Mallard hens and swans (Mute and Trumpeter). #birds #birdphotography #nikonphotography #wildlife #canada

Green. On one of the numerous smaller Island off the west coast of Vancouver Island; Feb 2026. #photography #trees #moss #temperaterainforest #nikonphotography #britishcolumbia

I'm stretching, perhaps, todays #BirdOfTheDay theme #WingsOverWater, with this shot of a White-winged Scoter hen (her wings technically over the water 😀). Lake Ontario. #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #Nikonphotography #Canada

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #WingsOverWater here's a Double-crested Cormorant over Lake Ontario off of the Leslie St. Spit where they have made such an amazing comeback (some 14,000 making NA's largest colony) that people want them culled :( #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #toronto

For @robcrank68.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme #branchbirds today, here's an Oven Bird on a branch in Bunchberry Meadows (southwest of Edmonton). #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #nikonphotography #canada

Stunning photo!

It's #RockInTuesday A pair of Bald Eagles on a stack of rock rising from a bay, west coast of Van Island. fwiw, that's not sky behind them but a treed mountain slope looking particularly blue, in the Z9's WB's opinion, in the rain and mist. #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #nikonphotography #canada

#BirdOfTheDay is birds #CollectingFood. Here an #egret (White Heron) gulps down breakfast in Burlington, ON in Sunfish Pond where Burlington Bay feeds into Grindstone Marsh, Burlington Botanical Gardens. 2023 #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #nikonphotography #canada

Don't know if you're in Toronto, Kari, but our Black-capaped Night Herons here also are anti-invasive species enforcement officers :) AND a reflection for @karenbdc.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay is #CollectingFood #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #nikonphotography #canada

On this #TalonTuesday, this immature #baldeagle shows off his nails, near Keephills, Alberta (2021?). #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #canada #nikonphotography

The Black-capped Chickadee has remarkable strategies for living in deeply cold weather so a good choice for today's #BirdOfTheDay #WinterSurvivors. Love the gregariousness of these birds. They possess one of the most complex languages in the animal world. #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #canada

Brilliant. Great photograph!

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Portrait. Here are a couple: Turkey Vulture (taken near Turkey Point, ON) and Red-tailed Hawk (Downsview, ON). #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #canadianwildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #nikonphotography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DivingForFood (birds that dive under water for food). My bird nemesis is the Kingfisher (I hear their alarm call as, "Good luck, haha, photographer!") as I continue to try to get a GOOD dive shot. This one will have to do, for now :) #birds #birdphotography #wildlife

Wow, gorgeous. Great photo!

Stellar Sea Lion just hanging out, in one of the many inlets and bays (e.g. I had no idea where I was really LOL) of the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island. #sealion #stellarsealion #marinemammal #wildlife #oceanwildlife #wildlifephotography #nikonphotography

A mama Sea Otter shares her shellfish lunch in the waves on a bay on Vancouver Island's west coast near Nootka Island. If you look closely you can see the shell opening rock on her belly :) #seaotter #vancouverisland #wildlifephotography #Canadianwildlife #otter #nikonphotography

Thought I'd jump on the latest meme bandwagon despite my most apparent inability to use any sort of design software whatsoever.

@alan678.bsky.social's theme for #BirdOfTheDay which is #WinterLight. Winter light in these parts can be mostly flat; no blue or golden hours, just grey hours from sun up to down :) A #bohemianwaxwing, one of a huge flock that was stripping berries a few years ago. #bird #birds #canadianbirds

Today's #birdoftheday is #raptors Here a Red-tailed Hawk on Toronto's Leslie St. Spit makes the decision (thankfully) that my winter coat would make getting at my viscera for lunch too troublesome :) #birds #bird #birdphotography #nikonphotography #wildlife #canadianbirds #canadianwildlife

Detail (Toronto edition) of Canadian sculptor, Timothy Schmaltz's work "Let the Oppressed Go Free." 2023. The 'original' is in Italy. A truly gripping work, made simply more poignant by the snowfall. #artislife #art #sculpture #bronze #blackandwhitephotography #photography #stilllife

My late great pooch, Rubes, was a New Year's baby. Rumour has it she was born with that orange ball in her mouth :) Miss ya, Rubes! Something terrible like! #dogsarelove #portuguesewaterdog

Beautiful shots!

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Reflections, a GBH fishing in Big Creek Marsh, Long Point. I'm late with this, but Happy Christmas all, and here's to hope for a kinder, loving New Year!

@karenbdc.bsky.social you'll want to pay particular attention to bird of the day today as the theme is reflections :)

Stunning shot! Great photo.

Thanks to the @refocus.awards judges for naming my photo Bronze winner in the Refocus Awards World Photo Annual Still Life (non pro) category. #photography #nikonphotography #stilllife #streetphotography

Throwback (60+ years) Thursday to when I was at the apex of my hockey career; I burned out by the age of 4.... I note that hockey helmets and gloves have changed a bit over the past several decades.

😂

14 young women who would have changed the world, were changing the world for the better, but were tragically murdered on this day, 1989. I take a moment to read each name aloud, to remember. Let love win, not hate. End violence against girls and women. #whiterose #endviolenceagainstgirlsandwomen

I avoid entering contests, but a couple of non wildlife shots I particularly love I thought, ah, go for it. Made it to the nominated level, which allows people to vote for their favourites. So your vote is the only thing between me and fame and fortune LOL Please: refocus-awards.com/people-vote-...

#birdoftheday is #BerriesandBeaks. Here's a Swainson's Thrush, juvenile Cedar Waxwing and Robin Redbreast (N.A. Robin) kindly meeting the theme 😀 #bird #birds #birdphotography #canadianwildlife #nikonphotography

#birdoftheday is #warbler. Here to comply -- a Magnolia Warbler and Cape May Warbler; both males. Both shots taken in the Wet Woods at the base of the Leslie St. Spit in Toronto. #bird #birds #birdphotography #canadianwildlife #nikonphotography

Yellow-headed Blackbird. A marsh east of Edmonton; the only time I've seen them in considerable number. 2020 #bird #birds #blackbird #birdphotography #canadianwildlife #nikonphotography

Hopefully NATO sees that middle finger as the barrel of a howitzer, and we get off our asses and repel Putin.

How will these trials work around pardons and SCOTUS rulings in favour of tyranny?

LMAO 😂 Okay, so the proposed solution here is an farcical, fantasy scenario (his resigning prompted by a meme going viral) which would put a truly broken sociopath (likely psychopath) VP into the POTUS seat? (Actually) Rise Up America! Hurry the f' up, ffs.

In a shocking turn of events, Paul Leonard-Morgan and I wrote an album together. Here's a wee teaser, we'll be launching it at St Luke's in January. Another dream coming true. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙 youtube.com/shorts/Cmkv4...

A Common Snapping Turtle. Big Creek Marsh (Long Point). #turtle #snappingturtle #wildlife #wildlifephotography #Canadianwildlife

Well that was easy, a promise or two by a couple of elected members of parliament and voila, the environment is saved....

Elvis has not left the building, least not a building in Toronto's Kensington Market; and MJ is there with him. Clearly, neither of them do windows. #streetphotography #toronto #nikonphotography #torontostreets

If only we could monetize this somehow, get the Cap Equity Bruhs interested, the world might take note. Perhaps we run a pool on the actual date this occurs, or maybe a bet on whether the oceans will collapse first or the Gulf Stream #dyingplanet #environmentalarmageddon #apologiestoGaia

Classic Chinese resting pose, the squat, here in life and mural art. Chose TO's Chinatown for street photography yesterday. The neighbourhood beautifully continues to mostly resist development keeping its truly engaging charm. #streetphotography #chinatown #torontostreets #nikonphotography #toronto

As yes, a wrathful Old Testament god crushed evil by painting scathing statements on desert tent flaps. Pretty sure, likewise, witty graffiti brought down the Axis Powers in WWII, saving the world from tyranny. So spray paint not guns is it? Rise Up America! Hurry the f' up, ffs!
