We are now moving away from India to Northern Ontario in Canada where this Mother has just fed her baby loon. My brother Tim was taking me for a boat ride but he forgot his camera however I did have mine. We stayed with this pair for about thirty minutes and I got a lot of great photographs. This is one of my favorites. The picture was taken on Deer Lake.

Asian Openbill - India
Staying in the same sanctuary location as the last few posts, I noticed this Asian Openbill Stork bringing nesting material over to her nest. The sun was perfect and I was able to get a few pictures of the chicks as well.

Darter - India
I have always enjoyed taking photographs of nesting birds. Here is a Darter from my trip to India. A big nest compared to what I see in Canada. I was able to get fairly close as we were traveling in a small row boat as we moved around the sanctuary.

Rose Ringed Parakeet - India
This is a favorite of mine. I love the morning light. I was in a park in Bangalore just when the sun was rising. It was a little scary at first as there were a few roaming dogs around that didn't look that friendly however more people started arriving and I was feeling safer by the minute so I could get back to serious birding.

White Browed Wagtail - India
In the same bird sanctuary (Ranganthittu Bird Sanctuary near Mysore) I captured this photograph of the White Browed Wagtail. So many of the birds at the Sanctuary were large storks. I am surprised I was able to notice this much smaller bird.
It was a very hot day with bright sun. I would have preferred to be there earlier in the morning to get better light however I was very happy to be at such a wonderful location.
As you can see from this photograph the White-browed Wagtail is insectivorous, and often fans its tail as it moves through the undergrowth.
