Scenes from Ontario February 2014

Towards the back end of 2013, Kev Du Rose, Graham Catley and I began to make a return visit to northern Norway in early spring 2014. However, with news of a once in a life time event occurring state side our plans quickly changed and we spent the first ten days in frozen Ontario, Canada.

Winter Wildfowl selection, stateside

Many of the wildfowl were new to me, including Redhead and White-winged Scoter photographed below. The warm water around the Leslie Street spit powerstation kept ice free and attracted a lot of ducks but photography was difficult in continuous snow and with steam coming off the water.

And the Trumpets they go...

This family flock of Trumpeter Swans was present at Leslie Street Spit as well.
