The past few weeks I have spent a fair bit of time sampling some of the grassland habitat that Ontario has to offer - mostly hayfields, but I still turned up some interesting birds and other wildlife!

| Upland Sandpiper |

| Grasshopper Sparrow |

| Tree Swallow |
 |
| Eastern Kingbird |
This Dickcissel, another open country species, was a pleasant surprise during one of my field surveys in Bruce County this week! Dickcissel are an increasingly more common sight in Ontario, especially the past couple of years!

This female Bobolink (on the left) seemed very impressed with the singing of the Dickcissel, but he showed a bit of stage fright and only resumed singing once she had sought out another perch!
I have also been enjoying other habitats during June including this beautiful marsh!

| Common Gallinule |

| Interestingly patterned Gartersnake |
Congratulations, Nate.....it is an addicting, but very rewarding hobby as you well know, so I look forward to many fine shots to accompany your posts.
