Hooked on bird photography (and some other subjects)! Canadian near Vancouver in British Columbia. I love re-posting pix by others on my timeline so please check my Media tab to view my photos/videos. Disabled with MS. Happily married!

A grey day in the park yesterday was brightened when a passerby mentioned he had seen an owl a few hundred yards in the direction we were headed and we found it! #birds #photography #birdphotography #Raptors #owl 🦉

Anyone else grow up in a family that put the props in malapropism? Growing up with the family vernacular, it sometimes took years to learn what something was really called. Here, then, is a nice photo of a College Squirrel. 🐿️ 👩‍🎓🤓

🐦🌵Habitat loss, particularly the decline of cholla cacti, directly impacts the Cactus Wren, driving a steady decline in its population, resulting in a cumulative decline of about 51% from 1966 to 2019. 📉

Now you know. 🪶

My Photo-a-day 2026 photo - Day 41: My photo a day photo today is actually two photos - of my favorite reasons I'm happy to be home from travels. Bruce and Buckley are on the couch and Mischief is licking a catnip toy in his favorite box. 🥰 #photoaday #rescuedog #rescuecat #photography #pets

#TongueOutTuesday is exactly what it says, anything with it's #Tongue out. So here's a Amur Tiger, Orangutans, Reindeer & Colombian Spider Monkey at Blackpool Zoo.

I very seldom see canvasbacks, and when I do, they’re typically far away. But this guy inexplicably decided to grant me a close look a few weeks back.
