More Ontario Bird PhotosMore Ontario bird photos. I've added a second page to make uploading easier. There will be much fewer words on this page because it's all about the pictures. To start, here's a Bufflehead enjoying an afternoon swim on a fine winter day.
This Mourning Dove looks suitably somber as it searches for food among the fallen leaves.
A Downy Woodpecker listening for its next meal.
An American Goldfinch enjoys the
summer evening sun.
A Gray Catbird flitting among the branches while watching the photographer warily. I'm not sure how often photo- graphers eat Catbirds but this one seemed very wary of my attention.
Another Great Blue Heron, this one's waiting patiently for a fish to pass.
A different kind of heron, a Black-crowned Night Heron, watches the water below for his next meal.
This White-breasted Nuthatch hangs upside-down as it searches the tree bark for bugs.
Pileated Woodpeckers are large woodpeckers that are surprisingly rarely seen.
A Red-Tailed Hawk searching for the mouse that got away.
An Ontario bird photos page without Canada's almost national bird, well it's got the same name anyhow, just isn't possible. Here are three Canada Geese looking like a 1950's wall ornament.
Waxwings are another summer visitor to Ontario. This very elegant male is in his best spring mating outfit.
The evocative call of the Loon is so central to Canadians, it was chosen for the new dollar coin a few years back. Consequently, the coin became known as a Loonie and the later two-dollar coin as a Twonie.
Loons are found on all Ontario's lakes, almost without exception and their call does stay in your mind in a way other birdsong doesn't. For more bird pictures, visit our page of
Owls.

Baltimore Orioles visit Ontario each summer, adding vibrant color to orchards and feeders. This one is enjoying the apple blossoms after its long flight north.
