My world with Nature.

Photographs, and a few words about the birds that visit the garden and those that I manage to see.


Bath night.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2010 6:40 am

Just a few bushtits enjoying the water. I have 6 dishes like this one spread along the railing around the deck, the bushtits use the same one all the time. If it is full of birds, they wait, they don't go to one of the other dishes.

A different water bird.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Wed Jan 06, 2010 9:57 pm

Not like the others shown here but definately a water bird always in on the water. American dipper. Goes under the water for bugs, swims under water and rest close to the water. Took a few shots of one today.

These lesser scaup also come out this way for the winter. There are sometimes 20 or more of them together.

Harlequin ducks

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 4:50 pm

I don't see these too often and would like to get a few more photos of them. The male is really odd coloured, the female is rather dull.

Two wigeon at the lagoon.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2010 6:21 am

A lot of the ducks come here for the winter from the prairies and return there to nest. Gives me a great chance to get images of them. Here are a couple of American Wigeon. I have an Eurasian wigeon too.

Mallards on ice.

We had a bit of frost this last week and the ducks had a little bit of trouble walking on the ice. Here are a couple of the mallards.

A new visitor.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2009 9:35 pm

Thank you all for the messages about the Nuthatch. I had 10 different birds today, one new comer and one that calls 2 or 3 a year. The waxwing was a first. The white crowned sparrow calls now and then, the crossbills come most days.

Bath night

A nuthatch, one of the many birds that come to the deck, enjoys a little dip. Don't forget the Fall celerbration, send in an image or two.
