Our photo of the day comes from Ayer's Cliff, Quebec, Canada. What a wonderfully cheerful bird, photographed by Christina Anne M, who writes, "we're seeing the largest movement of Evening Grosbeaks in the Northeast in over a decade! I'm so happy I finally had the opportunity to see these beautiful birds." . . . #naturephotography #photooftheday #treehugger #birdphotography #eveninggrosbeak #birdsofquebec #yellowbird #wildlifephoto

Mourning Dove | Tourterelle triste | Trauertaube | Zenaida macroura: This species is seen on occasion in my part of the world (the Vancouver area), but is far more common east of us. I was happy to get this pose last month in Montreal, even though I had to crop the photo a bit more than I would have liked. Taken March 24, 2019, at Technoparc Montréal (Québec), Canada with with a handheld Nikon D7200 and AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR (ISO 1000 | 500mm | f/5.6 | 1/1000), 62% of an 8x10 crop. Wild, as shot; not baited, called in or set up, though it was near some feeders set up by humans in the forest.

Cooper’s Hawk (juvenile) | Épervier de Cooper | Rundschwanzsperber | Accipiter cooperii: I could not resist posting a second photo of this impressive bird. And again, it would be tempting to think the feather on its beak was a last bit of its meal, but it was in fact the product of a vigorous preening session. Taken at the edge of Parc-nature de l'Île-de-la-Visitation, Montréal (Québec), Canada on March 23, 2019, with a handheld Nikon D7200 and AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR (ISO 400 | 500mm | -0.67 ev | f/5.6 | 1/3200, cropped - 81% of original). Wild, as shot; not baited, called in or set up (this was taken next to a bird feeder, but I doubt the bird cared much about the seeds or suet).

White-breasted Nuthatch | Sittelle à poitrine blanche | Carolinakleiber | Sitta carolinensis: Here's a second nuthatch photo taken three weeks ago in the Marguerite-D'Youville wildlife refuge near Montréal. They were so bold (or hungry?) that I frequently had to back up to be able to focus on them. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them had landed on my lens! Taken in Refuge faunique Marguerite-D'Youville, Châteauguay (Québec), Canada, on March 25, 2019, with a handheld Nikon D7200 and AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR (ISO 400 | 320mm | -0.67 ev | f/5.6 | 1/1600), 8x10 crop (89%). Wild, as shot; not baited, called in or set up.

I think this is a Black Throated Green Warbler. Another of the many warbler species on the fall migration south. photo taken at Lac Green near Harrington, Québec 09/09/2018. #blackthroatedgreenwarbler #warbler #birds #quebec #canada #birdsofquebec #fallmigration #canadianbirds #almightybirds #bestbirds #yourbestbirds #birdsofinstagram #birdfreaks #nutsaboutbirds #birdlovers #gurushots #ornithology #nature #naturelovers #naturehippys #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifelover #wildlifephotography #wildbirds #photography #greatoutdoors #nikond500 #nikonphotography #sigma150600
