And I've got a one-person show coming up at the impossibly cute St. Marys Station Gallery. (The old VIA station.) Opening afternoon of Sat., Nov. 29. I'll be there! :-) It hangs until Jan. 17/26 (even though this art card says Jan. 10.) Gallery hours Wed. to Sat. 11am to 4pm.

I'm pleased to be part of another show at Westland Gallery in Old South. A "New Small Works" group show opens Dec. 2 and runs to Dec. 31. Check it out if you're in the 'hood. westlandgallery.ca/ p.s. I thought I'd quit social media. Oh well. p.p.s. Yes, I'm still birding.

My last post (?) on X. (I'll check my DMs for a spell.) Maybe I'll see you over at Bluesky🦋@ NicholsonNature. I'll be posting there as intermittently as I did on X. :-)

We saw some nice raptors on our London CBC route this morning.

A female Cinnamon Hummingbird feeding its just-fledged chick = cute overload. :-)

I'll be back in the teeth of an Ontario December soon. Until then, more blue skies and tropical hummers.

I was birding the slopes of Costa Rica's northern volcanos this morning. Drizzly up there, but nice birds including this Rufous-tailed Jacamar.

I encountered this Southern Lapwing on my morning hike.

Crested Caracaras from my morning walk. I love the blue skies.

From this morning's walk. We get fly-through Whimbrels up north, but fun to see them over-wintering. And at my feet. :-)

I'm in Costa Rica for the first time. This Yellow-headed Caracara was waiting for me.

Through December, I'll be migrating to my new @ NicholsonNature account over at Bluesky.🦋 I'll post on both platforms for the next weeks. I expect to stop posting on X on Dec. 31.

Juncos have arrived back in London and across Middlesex and the rest of Southwestern Ontario. Read all about them in a new @BirdFriendlyLdn species profile. birdfriendlylondon.ca/dark-e…

It was a beautiful day to be birding in north London. I looked up from time to time, hoping to see a Golden Eagle overhead. Was rewarded with an adult Bald and two sub-adults. Nature is grand. :-)

I was birding through Elgin County today. Lots of ducks, geese, and Coots at the Port Stanley lagoons, and lots of Bluebirds and Rusties along the roads. Hawk Cliff Rd. was closed for the morning (?) but still migrating Sharpies and TVs to be seen close to the lake.

Another amazing shot DR!

Birding around Chatham-Kent today. Nelson's Sparrows were highlights. Beautiful sunshine.

I was birding with a pal over at the Strathroy lagoons this morning. It was mostly a beautiful "duck day", but we were pleased to see some Pectoral Sandpipers, migrating TVs, and flocks of kinglets and Yellow-rumps too.
