NaturePhotographers > Dennis Fast  > Animals > BIRDS I HAVE KNOWN
My passion for photography began with an early love affair with birds. They are not only beautiful, but represent the freedom from the bonds of earth and gravity that has made mankind want to fly since time began. The more I watched birds, the more I wanted to photograph them, and I am sharing some of my favourites with you here.

Dennis Fast > MALE PROTHONOTARY WARBLER

The Prothonotary Warbler barely makes it into Canada, and is considered a declining and threatened species. It prefers the Carolinian woods and swamps of extreme Southern Ontario, and can be found there at Point Pelee National Park and Rondeau Provincial Park.
Dennis Fast > ARCTIC TERN AT SUNSET.

Known for their pugnacious attacks near their nest sites, and tireless long-distance migrations, it's a treat to see a tern at rest.
Dennis Fast > BOREAL OWL IN SPRUCE TREE

The Boreal Owl is one of Canada's most elusive and sought after owls. Birders and photographers sometimes travel great distances for an opportunity to see and to photograph these tiny raptors. As a result, I consider myself most fortunate in having had the occasion to photograph this bird three times in my own back yard! This bird was revealed to me by screaming Blue Jays. After walking around the tree three times staring carefully into the higher branches near the trunk of the tree where they prefer to hide, I suddenly realized it was right in front of me at eye level!
Dennis Fast > ARCTIC TERN IN FOG.

The Arctic Tern is always striking whether in sunshine or in fog. This bird is about to attack me for straying too close to its nest.
Dennis Fast > MALE AMERICAN REDSTART

The redstart belongs to the colourful warbler family and is quite widespread in its Eastern North American range. Both males and females love to flaunt their splashy orange or yellow patches in the wings and tail by flicking them open and shut repeatedly while they flit about their business of feeding.
Dennis Fast > YELLOW WARBLER.

The Yellow Warbler may be one of the most widespread warblers in North America, but that certainly doesn't detract from its beauty.
Dennis Fast > NORTHERN HAWK-OWL.

The Northern Hawk-Owl is one of the most fearless and aggressive raptors we have. I once had one take a mouse off my head! When they are hungry, every vole in its territory should be on the look-out.
Dennis Fast > SANDHILL CRANES AT SUNSET.

The cry of the Sandhill Crane is one of the wildest calls in nature. When a group comes in to roost near a swamp for the night, their trumpet calls are spine-tingling.
