This evening, I watched a great blue heron (Grand Héron en français) take a jab at a double-crested cormorant!

Spring has sprung, and Love is in the air...
These double-crested cormorants (Cormoran à aigrettes en français) appeared to be enjoying themselves shamelessly.

Taken minutes before sunset with Nikon D850, Sigma 150-600 C at 600mm, f/6.3, 1/500s, iso 3200 and processed in #darktable.

A Hooded Merganser couple (Harle couronné en francais) swam past me yesterday evening. Caught these pictures just before the light faded.

Face-off at the feeder! The male northern cardinal was hoarding the feeder, but this female hairy woodpecker put him in his place with a literal tongue-lashing!

Ce cardinal rouge male intimidait les autres oiseaux au mangeoire, mais cette pic chevelu l'a vite remis à sa place!
