You could admire the fishing prowess of this guy if you didn't know he stole the fish from a fisherman's bucket.

My husband and I camp at Rock Glen, Ontario every spring and fall. This spring a pair of White-breasted Nuthatches decided to nest in a tree right beside our RV. They were very active. I do believe the eggs had hatched as the male was taking food to the female, non stop! I wished we were there for the babies to fledged...perhaps next year!

I go to Mitchell's Bay, On. twice a year and really enjoy watching the Common Terns. They are a delight to photograph! If you are lucky, the will actually stop in mid air right above you! I use a Sigma 150 -500 lens on my Canon 7D. I don't go anywhere without them both!
