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 🦉

Couldn't have asked for a lovelier perch to take a picture of this Orange-crowned Warbler at the park.

It's Bird of the Month time over on my blog and this month I'm looking at the oystercatcher, surely the UK's most recognisable wader. Find out more about this handsome, but vocal, bird in the blog

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt-theme is short-legged birds... I saw this little puffball of a junco skipping across the snow this week.

Today's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Reflections / #Paridae... I love reflections, they're something I photograph often - but I have no good bird reflections. Here are a titmouse, a chickadee, and a reflection of snowy trees in water.

Oh wait... I forgot I had this one... I was fortunate enough to follow 20 feet behind this green heron as it walked up the creek fishing. It didn't mind me taking his picture, even though it was having a monumental bad hair day.

For today's alt #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Black&White, I'm pulling from my archive of photos from warm and sunny South Africa. Here's an African Sacred Ibis eating some kind of crawfish.
