Last light on the prairie. The clouds burned orange from underneath while the sun squeezed through a gap between the bins and sent rays across the stubble. #Manitoba #Sunset #PrairieSunset #LandscapePhotography #GoldenHour #AutumnSky #FarmLife

Most evenings this ditch just drains a field. Tonight it held the whole sky for a few minutes, then let it go as the light faded out past the grain bins. #Manitoba #SunsetPhotography #LandscapePhotography #PrairieSky #Reflections

The fern keeps to the shade beside the garden path, letting only a few patches of light touch its fronds while the shadows do all the wandering. #Manitoba #NaturePhotography #Ferns #Monochrome #BlackAndWhite #GardenPhotography #ShadowAndLight #PlantPhotography

American White Pelicans. Somewhere in the crowd a fish had been spotted, and every head turned. One bill swung wide open. Nobody wanted to admit they'd missed it. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #AmericanWhitePelican #Pelicans #WaterBirds

Morning traffic. Three American White Pelicans drop toward the churning water, wings braking, feet out, each one picking its own spot along the rush. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #AmericanWhitePelican #BirdsInFlight

Just a flash of white against the dark branches. The Great Egret didn't hurry and didn't turn, just carried on along the tree line toward wherever the fishing was better this morning. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #Monochrome #BlackAndWhite #GreatEgret

After the rain, the old trail holds the sky in one wide puddle. Sun low through the trees, tire ruts full of light, and the whole canopy hanging upside down at my feet. #Manitoba #Monochrome #BlackAndWhite #LandscapePhotography #Reflection #MorningLight #AfterTheRain

Wings up, water flying, one fish wedged sideways in all that orange. The American White Pelican had about three seconds to turn it around before something else noticed. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #AmericanWhitePelican #Pelican #RiverLife #SummerBirding

In Manitoba, Canada, our only #Paridae is the Black-capped Chickadee. I swear it is one of the more photogenic birds out there. Also, it's a rapscallion of a bird that I love watching. #BirdOfTheDay #Birding #Birds #BirdPhotography

Nothing but bills and heads, edge to edge. A crowd of American White Pelicans sitting close enough that there's no telling where one bird ends and the next one starts. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #Pelican #AmericanWhitePelican #Migration #ManitobaWildlife

Both wings open, feet strung out behind, a Great Blue Heron moves across the blue without a single flap. The only thing that changes is its distance from where I'm standing. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #GreatBlueHeron #Herons #BirdsInFlight #NaturePhotography

Wings up, chest out, an American White Pelican holds the stretch for a few seconds in the only patch of morning sun reaching the water. Then it folds up and goes back to eating. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #AmericanWhitePelican #Pelicans #NaturePhotography

Wings up, feet tucked, bill buried in one red bloom. A Ruby-throated Hummingbird works a patch of salvia the way you'd work a row of doors, checking each one and moving on. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #RubyThroatedHummingbird #Hummingbirds #Salvia #GardenBirds

Wings tipped into a turn, feet still tucked, an Osprey looks straight down through the blue.

Half the marsh has turned green, and a juvenile duck has decided that's good enough for a bed. A few flecks of duckweed still stuck to the bill from the last mouthful. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #JuvenileDuck #Waterfowl #Duckweed #Marsh #NaturePhotography

It worked the zinnia bed flower by flower and gave this one maybe a heartbeat of attention. A Ruby-throated Hummingbird on a tight schedule. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #RubyThroatedHummingbird #Hummingbirds #Zinnias #Pollinators #GardenBirds #CanadianWildlife

An immature male Ruby-throated Hummingbird hovers at a coral-pink zinnia, its fine dark bill dipped into the ring of yellow florets at the flower's centre. The bird's green back catches the light, one wing swept back and blurred with motion, against a soft dark green background.

The body stayed facing the field. Only the head came around. An immature Red-tailed Hawk giving me the full once-over from a hydro pole, unhurried about it. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #RedTailedHawk #Raptors #BirdsOfPrey #Hawks #JuvenileBird #CanadianWildlife

An immature Red-tailed Hawk perches on top of a weathered wooden hydro pole against a pale blue morning sky. Its body faces away, brown wings and back mottled with cream, while its head is turned back toward the camera. The banded brown tail hangs down the front of the pole, with a power line and insulator to the right.

This young Red-tailed Hawk had the whole bare tree to itself. Morning light, pale sky, and a bird still working out what it can catch. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #RedTailedHawk #Raptors #BirdsOfPrey #JuvenileBird #MorningLight #PrairieWildlife

Cool morning, thin fog, and a couple dozen Canada Geese spread across the stubble. Some feeding, some sitting, all of them settled in like they had the day off. #Manitoba #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #Birds #Birding #CanadaGoose #Geese #StubbleField #FoggyMorning #AutumnBirds

A group of Canada Geese spread across a harvested grain field on a foggy morning, some feeding and some resting in the stubble, with a large round hay bale standing in soft warm haze behind them.

A Coyote stops mid-hunt in a wet meadow, ears up, fur damp to the shoulder. It had known I was there long before I knew about it. #Manitoba #Coyote #WildlifePhotography #Wildlife #PrairieWildlife #Mammals #MorningLight #WetMeadow #CanadianWildlife #Predators

A Coyote stands side-on in a wet grassy meadow, head turned toward the camera with ears upright and yellow eyes fixed forward. Its coat is tan and grey with damp, darkened legs and chest, and its bushy tail hangs low. Dew-covered green grass fills the frame.
