For my bird loving friends, I’m posting more photos of birds from Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. Enjoy!
This gal must have been primping herself!
This Macaw was waving with his foot!
The last of the bird brains…

Last day in the Niagara Falls area and I decided I needed to visit Bird Kingdom, a free flying indoor aviary for over 80 species of birds. It was great!! Beautiful birds, easy to observe and photograph. This is just a brief sampling of what I saw….

Today was a more relaxing day exploring the beautiful little town of Niagara-On-The-Lake and a famous battlefield from the War of 1812. Niagara-On-The-Lake is a charming town full of flowers, friendly Canadians, shops and restaurants, a beautiful park and many wineries. The battlefield is now the sight of many walkways and a monument honoring Major General Sir Isaac Brock who died in the Battle of Queenston Heights.. Plus the weather today was beautiful – what a great day!

Quick trip to visit Niagara Falls on the Canadian side – incredible to see and a must to ride the Maid of the Mist Boat Ride. You may notice in the photo that everyone is dressed in blue. They do provide you with a blue rain poncho so you only get wet instead of drenched. But it was exciting to be that close to the Falls!

Standing right beside where the water furiously falls over the edge. Wow – that really messes with your equilibrium!
