Birds of Shirleys Bay

Image
 One of Ottawa's Hottest Birding Areas Hairy Woodpecker ( Dryobates villosus ) at Shirleys Bay , Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He is just hanging out & watching what is going on. Birds abound at the feeders' of Hilda Road at Shirleys Bay . If it isn't the squirrels or bunnies you are interest in then there are so many birds to observe & chase at this location that is part of Ottawa's Greenbelt , almost surrounding the city. Almost every bird you can imagine for the  Ottawa Region can be found here. These are just a few I came across this weekend but I spent most of my time with the  Showshow Hares .  In a box ... Common Redpoll ( Acanthis flammea ) enjoying the seeds at Shirleys Bay . Ready for take off : Black-capped Chickadee ( Poecile atricapillus ) at Shirleys Bay.

This is the most popular photo from my photography site :  My Photo Site  and had took me by a bit of a surprise to find how popular it was. Coming in second place is my Max Relax Squirrel :  American Red Squirrel ( Tamiasciurus hudsonicus ) Britannia Conservation Area, Mud Lake, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This little guy was so LMAO funny to watch and I call him the ultimate TreeHugger .
