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!
We saw one of our regular Bald Eagle couples on their trip from Alaska to warmer temperatures in the south. They stopped by to inspect the nest they've been using the last few years. One of them left suddenly to go get a stick. Happy #FlyDay! #birds #Raptors #photography #EastCoastKin

Our local park quite often has sets for the filming of various #television shows. This was one of them.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #least, the bird you have the least captures of.

On June 25, 2020, I saw an unknown splash of colour darting through some trees--found out it was a male Western Tanager! Have never seen it again but have heard it a few times. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

These sleeping assorted ducks don't seem to have the same enthusiasm for a new week as this #Mallard drake that's getting ready for #MallardMonday with a splash! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

As an arachnophobe, I have experimented with taking photos of #spiders, for several years, to try to get over my silly fear. It hasn't worked completely, but I can now deal with them in pictures, just not in real life! #shadow #nature #photography #EastCoastKin

I posted a still photo of this male House #Finch yesterday. For some action, today I'm posting a video of him taking a bath. #birds #videography #EastCoastKin
