These were taken in 06/13 in an area called Carden Alvar in Ontario. They are an important birding habitat in Ontario. However be prepared for a bumpy road..full of potholes.

great shot , large version looks very sweet too, nice background, but centered composition doesn't work for me, only my personal opinion, other that nice work :wavey:

Excellent detail and pose, John. Wish it had given you a bit of light in the eye.

I like the clean BG, the simplicity and the colors in this one. I do wish you had managed a little catch light, but might also be tempted to crop off the left a touch and set this more off center.

A sweet portrait of this beauty John. Perhaps a little too centered though, a little more on the right side might help the composition a bit.
