Lots of rain.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:55 pm

The snow came and went overnight, I was lookng forward to some snowy bird pictures. Anyway, between showers I had a walk down at the lagoon, there are lots of ducks there. They come for the winter from the prairies. The herons are always around so I had to make do with those. I have taken so many duck shots.

Those white spots on mushrooms.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2010 1:54 am

Some mushrooms have white patches on them, they look rather neat, but why do they vary. Well, most of them like the amanita's, break though a veil when reaching the surface. As they break this, parts stick to it. These don't shrink but appear smaller as the mushroom gets bigger. More attach to some of the same species, thus making them appear different.

Winter birds returning.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2010 4:16 pm

Yes, the birds come here for the winter. Many years we don't get any snow, and yes, we are in Canada. These were along the shore yesterday. The top is a Dunlin and the other a Black Turnstone.
