Spring is in the Air (Carduelis flammea - Common Redpoll) by 


This Common Redpoll will soon be leaving its southern wintering grounds. It perches momentarily on a sure sign of spring. Photographed in Clarence-Rockland, Ontario, Canada. Canon EOS 7D, 400mm f5.6L USM.

Spending time in the outdoors has always been a passion of mine. Most of my subject matter is avian but I will readily spend hours photographing almost anything else in the natural world. Currently I live near a small town, Rockland, just east of Ottawa. I work in Ottawa and so most of my photography is done in eastern Ontario. Thank you for dropping by and enjoy.

    Such beauty! Great capture of the redpoll and the pussywillow!

  • Thanks very much, Mary. My celebration of spring ended abruptly, ironically, today on the first day of spring with several inches of snow!
