American Bitterns fighting in Alonquin Park. June 2015

A thrill of a lifetime was watching these two american bitterns fighting in the marsh.
Thanks to the great spotting by Sarrah the pair fought right in front of us.
Prior to this I had seen 3 bitterns only.  

This is soooooo cool. Look at head and feet.





One of the bitterns in flight.

Moose while in Algonquin Park June 2015

One of two moose seen on the girls weekend away.
This first shot was taken with my 400mm lens.  All I could get was the antlers.  Notice the viens in earls and the eye lashes.


A majestic bull moose



Moose in mud





This was the first moose we saw.  Can you find him in the bushes.
