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!
Pinned
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 🦉

It was -12 Celsius tonight in Kingston’s historic Market Square. Besides skating, we also met up with our friend @mjnabuurs.bsky.social at rink side! A very nice way to spend a chilly Canadian evening . 🇨🇦⛸️🥶❤️🍁

It’s a Deer feeder… a DEER feeder! I have no idea what’s happening here and why our local deer all of a sudden look so super strange 😂🤣🤭

That guy/gal was hilarious 😆 but undeterred 🙃

As I walk back to the car, I stop in my snowy tracks to listen to this guy. The White-breasted Nuthatch is racing through the small trees, enjoying the sunshine.

The Horned Lark wintering locally is a treat this year. He seems to have a hint of Springtime in his eye, however.

My Photo-a-day 2026 photo - Day 40: I returned home from travels today and was quickly greeted by this special Red-winged Blackbird when I filled my feeders! The poor fellow only has one foot and both legs are deformed. I was worried how he'd fare while I was gone, but all is well! #photoaday #birds

Red tailed hawk. His name is Stewie. He’s in training to be an educator.

This downy woodpecker was happily chirping away as it searched for food under the tree bark. So cute.

Check out this bird!!! This is an adult Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis harlani). Harlan's Hawks, as they are sometimes called, are a subspecies of Red-tailed Hawk that breed in Alaska and northwest Canada and can be identified by that amazing tail pattern! #bird #rarebird #photography

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #StareDown I had to go with a Sharp-shinned Hawk because *DERP*

(I could've gone with a Steller's...to be clear 😂)

THIS IS SICK!

Epstein’s victims say Ghislaine Maxwell was worse than Epstein. She groomed and delivered girls to him.

Now she pleads the 5th across the board & offers to clear Trump’s name in exchange for clemency.

Send her evil ass back to doing hard time instead of the cushy camp she’s in now!

@robcrank68.bsky.social set the #BirdOfTheDay theme to #StareDown, birds looking right at you. This Ruby-throated Hummingbird fits the bill.
