I met our new neighbour a couple of days ago…seemed a bit taciturn, but exceptionally elegant and poised.
Tell me about birds you’ve seen recently in your yard, garden, or neighbourhood!

You really got a beautiful shot.
Thanks so much! Lots of zoom on this one; herons startle easily and I didn’t want to upset it in any way. I was delighted how the cattails framed the scene.
Our backyard is aflutter with birds and their songs. Too many to list but here are a few—finches, chickadees, nuthatches, cardinals, humming birds, oven birds.
Love it! Your yard is such a beautiful haven for wildlife, it’s wonderful. 🙂
Thanks, Sheryl!
how beautiful. I’ve been so happy to see the return of so many birds and so much wildlife, with the lessening of human interaction .
Slowing down…and being quiet…and taking in all that nature has to offer.
Fantastic picture! I can never get a good shot of them when I’m out fishing on The Sheep. Haven’t seen any of them yet either.
Thank you! Such majestic birds.
In mijn omgeving zijn er erg veel reigers.Telkens ik op wandel ga zie ik ze Gisteren zag ik eerst een blauwe reiger en nadien een grote witte reiger.Maar hier is dan ook veel water in de omgeving
I like him, or is it a her? Beautiful. 🙂
My “Birds of Alberta” book says that the description of the sexes are “similar,” so I’m unable to tell if it is a he or she…last year, there were two of them but this year, I’ve only seen the one.
