A Northern Pintail, look at that gold shimmer. These guys are known as the “Greyhounds of the Skies”, not only are they fast flyers, they fly long distances incredibly fast. One flew from Labrador to England in just 9 days. Faster than Canada Air. #ducks #birds #wildlife #photographer #canon

I was laying down taking some shots of Black Oystercatchers, when this female Brewers Blackbird landed about 5 feet in front of me. I think it was trying to figure out what the heck I was up to. It hung out for about a minute and figured out I wasn’t that exciting and left 🤣

A Black Oystercatcher seemingly entranced by it’s reflection. Photo taken at Esquimalt Lagoon. A nice colour assist by the reflection of the fall leaves on the water as well. #birds #oystercatcher #blackoystercatcher #nature #canada #wildlife #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #canon

Our year long resident hummingbird, the Anna’s Hummingbird, this one was giving me an earful. These guys are so incredibly vocal, it just takes a bit to recognize all the different vocalizations they make. #birds #birdphotography #hummingbirds #canon #photography

Hello, I use a Canon EOS R7 for most of my shots with a 100-400 RF Canon Lens. And not even joking it only took me a few minutes, this guy found me.
