The time I was watching the four kits rough and tumble play, out popped nr. five. Such pleasure to watch them.

A passerby had to deposit something into the garbage can and slammed the lid shut. That startled the youngster and it flew away. At that time I was accompanied by Kim NG and together we tried to locate the bird again. Kim did and we tried to get feeding images which was very hard to do due to the windy conditions. Every time something was in between the lens and the birds.This is as good as it gets.

On my outing yesterday a friendly gentleman asked me : "what kind of white bird is that" and pointed in a certain direction. It was not easy to find but when I did, I was puzzled..... until an adult tree swallow came in to feed the fledgling. Now, how cool was that.

Lately I have been observing this years crop of new sora's. It must have been a good year for them.They are tough to get a "clear" shot at, they are so small and fast.

I had a bit of one on one with the loons that day. Taken from my kayak. To me this is a true Canadian symbol and therefore, " Happy Canada Day" Flickr contacts.
