One magnificent beast

The siberian tiger was strutting around and looking proud. Amazing animal to see. And the emu's were in with the kangaroos,tall as I am they were. Very cool bird.

The arctic wolf shot I did a little fun with it. And the male and female kangaroo were having it out pretty good. I would not want to be on the other side of those punches. Had some beautiful arctic foxes there to that we got a few shots of.

Toronto Zoo,November 13th

After attending a terrific appreciation day at the zoo for the turtle talliers my son & I headed out into the zoo. The polar bears and arctic wolves were pretty mello. And we loved photographing them. Did a little bit of playing around with a couple of the shots. Was a great day.

Crow verses red tail

Had a red shouldered hawk and red tail soaring around. Then some crows showed up and took after the red tail. It was quite the sight actually. The red tail didn't seem to bothered by it. And the crows finally left well enough alone.

Hawks n cranes

More red tail hawks form a little further back in late October,an immature rough legged hawk and sandhill cranes. They almost looked as if they were doing the mating dance. These were taken a couple weeks ago so that is not possible. But they sure were dancing and calling out. Was a wonderful sight.

Ret tail hawks

Red tail hawks along the back roads of our journey.

Fall birding,November.

This immature red tail hawk was hunting at the side of the road. My sister & I went out and did some back road birding. The hawks were incredible,rough legged and red tails everywhere. A nice dark phase rough legged in a field hunting. But the main attraction was a huge golden eagle.
This eagle was sitting at the side of the road and took off as I approached. I stopped a distance away from it. We got a magnificent look at the under-wing pattern as it flew. Was a first year bird. Absolutely amazing.
