A peaceful evening walk with my niece along the Ottawa River turned into a chance to watch one of nature's simple joys—a Mallard family going about their day. Wildlife is often just waiting for us to slow down and notice.

This grey-billed duck was found everywhere along the coast, sometimes in huge colonies of fifty and more. The boat got close enough for me to snap this beautiful picture.

More Atlantic Puffins.
Its nesting season, so half of them are hidden in the cliffs.
The others are swimming, catching food for both.

A Brown Hawk (Sharp-Shinned) in Flight.
We used the shape of the tail and curvature of the wings to identify it. They are present everywhere in the province, while the Cooper Hawk is only found in the south.

Savannah Sparrows are not hard to locate; you just need to head out of town and find some tall grass with logs or bushes nearby.
Easily identifiable by the yellow spot on their head. #Birds #Birds #BirdsOfCanada #Sparrows #WildlifePhotography.

My all-time favourite bird. Atlantic Puffin and a Razorbill Penguin.
The week-long trip to see them was over 800 kilometers. Was well worth it for this shot.

A common seagull.
But there's no such thing as a seagull.
She have a nest nearby; and they got so used to human presence on the island we don't even disturb her.

One American White Pelican struck gold in the current. Before it could enjoy the catch, two opportunistic neighbors arrived to discuss a possible transfer of ownership.
