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 🦉

The #BirdOfTheDay theme for Wednesday is #OnTheEdge , any bird at the edge of a body of water. The alternative is #pigeons.

This is a White-rumped Sandpiper standing on the edge of a North Dakota prairie wetland.

Earlier this year I actually held this woodpecker in my hand and cut it free from a mesh fence, a truly unforgettable experience. A return trip a few months later to see a pair with a juvenile always puts a smile on my face.

Most of the meaningful moments in my life weren’t loud or dramatic.

They were soft. Easy to miss if I wasn’t paying attention.

Photography helps me notice them and hold onto them just a little longer 🪶

I learned today that (1) you don't need any mangroves around to get mangrove crabs, and that (2) like many animals they go nuts for bread (I didn't bait it; someone must have dropped a scrap of bread on the pier). Every time I turned around, it raced back for another bite.
