Chestnut Sided Warbler
This picture was taken on May 8th, 2010 at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario. It's easy to see how he got his name. Isn't he beautiful?
Yellow Warbler
These pictures were taken on May 8th & 9th, 2010 at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario. This guy is one of the more common Warblers and could be seen at many locations in the Park.
House Wren
These pictures were taken on May 9th, 2010 at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario. He just sung his little heart out for us and he didn't seem bothered that we were close by.
Downy Woodpecker, male & female
These pictures were taken on May 7th & 8th at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario. The top picture is the female and the bottom picture is a male which you can tell by the red patch on the back of his head.
Swainsons Thrush
These pictures were taken on May 9th & 12th, 2010 at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario. They like to be on the ground which makes it difficult to get a really nice picture.
White Crowned Sparrow, male
This picture was taken on May 9th, 2010 at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario.
Baltimore Oriole - Male
This picture was taken on May 10th, 2010 at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario. I think it's a young male, probably less than one year old as the black on his head isn't fully developed and his breast is more yellow than the brilliant orange of an adult male.

Robin
These pictures were not taken by me. They were taken by a friend of mine, Lynn Lasook. He has always maintained that he has no interest in birds unless you can eat them. Well, he got interested in this one because she built a nest right on his bike and now he's complaining that he can't go riding. Lynn, if you had used your bike more often, the Robin wouldn't have built its nest there. Looks good on you Lynn, maybe we'll make a bird photographer out of you after all LOL. Oh, I did do a bit of touchup work on his photos.

Blackburnian Warbler
These pictures were taken on May 9th, 2010 at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario. This little guy was hard to shoot but he did pose nicely for me.
Trillium
This picture was taken on May 8th, 2010 at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario. The Trillium is the Provincial flower for Ontario and you'll find them everywhere at Rondeau.
Barn Swallow
These pictures were taken on May 8th, 2010 at Rondeau Provincial Park. These guys were flying all over the place and the only place they would land was on the ground. I wanted a picture sitting on a branch, so I took my Ipod on a Barn Swallow bird call and set the speaker under a small tree. It worked. They kept flying around the tree and finally on landed just above the speaker. He sure was curious and kept looking down at the speaker.
