Mark's Odonata Blog: Twelve-spotted Skimmer

http://odonataqc.blogspot.com/2009/11/twelve-spotted-skimmer.html

Wednesday, November 4, 2009. Not uncommon in our area (Montreal and south) but fairly local. A very good place to to see this special insect is from the boarwalk at I'le Bizzard. They are such distinctive insects that they are noticed by even the environmentally challenged i.e 99% of the population. Twelve-spots fly June to August. The top two photos are males, the bottom three females. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Stuff I like and my Blogs. Lets get out of the water!

http://odonataqc.blogspot.com/2009/11/eastern-pondhawk.html

Thursday, November 5, 2009. A great looking insect where both sexes are quite stunning in their own way. A common species in Southern Quebec and easy to find on well vegetated ponds. Flies late June to early September. The blue ones are males, green females. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Stuff I like and my Blogs. Lets get out of the water! A few from Europe.

QCbirding 2008: July 2008

http://qcbirding2008.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 28, 2008. Its quiet so why not, a few more images from Belize. Chan Chich from a big mound. A White-nosed Coati which gave us a hard time. Some fat bloke on a bridge. White-collared Manakin above, a male about to go pop. Occelated they may be but they hide it well. Gallon Jug, almost like Notts. A bit of red eye on this pauraque. Bird's Eye Lodge from the water. Below the Crooked Tree Police station, banged to rights. Little Blue Heron in its uninspired phase. Mayan Rubble piled high. I had ...

QCbirding 2008: November 2008

http://qcbirding2008.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 29, 2008. Our trip list this time is only around 80 species and photo ops were few. Below a few snaps, I`m sure you will know what they are. Sunday, November 23, 2008. Wet wet, wet. In England for a week, northwest first, then the Midlands, we took time out from Sandra's parent's 50 Wedding celebrations to drop in to Martin Mere Wildfowl and Wetlands reserve near Southport. Below a few photos and clips. More later if we see more and find a working broadband connection. Also at the pits...

QCbirding 2008: April 2008

http://qcbirding2008.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 23, 2008. Long winter, warm spring. So the long and snowy winter has finally departed and the headlong rush of northward migrants is filling the bushes, pools and lists. The Bigby is picking up pace, most additions are from the garden but we have a circuit opened up that takes in some of the forest areas locally. Last Sunday a couple of Pine Warblers were back and an early Yellow-rumped Warbler showed nicely. Species 100 for the year was Winter Wren, I expect 101 to be very close behind.

Mark's Odonata Blog: Ebony Jewelwing

http://odonataqc.blogspot.com/2009/11/ebony-jewelwing.html

Wednesday, November 4, 2009. Found along brisk little streams with a gravel or rocky bottom, weed strands and plenty of bankside vegetation. These pretty little half damsel half dragonflies are usually seen bouncing along on blobby looking wings, the males looking for females to date, or other males to give a good kicking to. We should get River Jewelwing too locally although I have yet to find one. A June to August species and probably like most calopteryx species, tolerant of some level of pollution.

http://qcbirding2008.blogspot.com/2008/12/northern-hawk-owl-just-down-road.html

Saturday, December 13, 2008. Northern Hawk Owl just down the road. This Northern Hawk Owl showed very nicely in nearby Ontario. on Saturday 13th December 2008. It even got locals excited and they all took a turn viewing through my scope, I hope none of them fancy it for their mantlepiece! More posts on the day later. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

QCbirding 2008: June 2008

http://qcbirding2008.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 28, 2008. Bunch of birds from Belize. So we went to Belize in the rainy season and it hardly rained! The birding was not as good as it would be in winter and the bugs had not read the script but we did ok. If you are not sure where Belize is I suggest you go back to High School and finish your education. Our first five nights were at Chan Chich, just Google it to see what it is like. Lots of birds, good food, start saving! Anyway, enjoy the photos. A Roadside Hawk in habitat. Lesser Yellow...

QCbirding 2008: August 2008

http://qcbirding2008.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 20, 2008. Near where I live is a small bog, Saddlebrook Bog. It is not very big but provides me with common passage migrants and the occasional surprise, such as a Prairie Warbler a few years ago, an Orchard Oriole nearby and fairly regular Orange-crowned Warblers. Above a couple of the many Baltimore Orioles around the bog. Great Spangled Fritillary, common in the area. Below, one of a couple of female/imm Scarlet Tanagers present. The first fall warbler, an imm Magnolia. This Pied-bil...
