Orcas Island. Original Name: Sx̱ʷaqʷsən (pronounced Skwa-kw-sun) Island as seen from #CrescentBeach #BC. More popularly known as Orcas Island after Horcasitas y Aguayo, the Viceroy of New Spain, who sent an expedition there in 1791. I think it looks like a turtle. #geography #photography

Young Eagles. I debated on whether to publish the one on the right but in the end I thought that he looked so forlorn that he probably couldn't bear another rejection. 🥲 #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Eagle Beach. Feb 7, 2026 video combines clips with photos of the activity on #CrescentBeach #BC. All of this took place within a few minutes challenging my video taking ability. I apologize for recording my breathing but I found that if I don't breath I pass out. #bird #birds #eagles #nature #video

Last post of the day is of some creative persons use of a crab and oyster shell, along with bits of glass found on the beach, to make this sculpture. #beachart #photography #beach

Kingfisher Beating Fish II. #bird #birds #kingfisher #nature #DaVinciResolve #video. I switched to manual focus on my #Nikon P1100 and pulled back the zoom, then processed with DaVinci Resolve. Music was added because of background talking. ("Sorrow by the Beach," by MK-O on album "Ether.")

Kingfisher Beating Fish. #bird #birds #kingfisher #nature #Topaz #video. I zoomed in as much as I could with my #Nikon P1100 and removed most of the handheld jittery motion using Topaz Video. Topaz couldn't handle the quick beating motion but did a good job on focus and stabilization.

Kingfisher with Fish. #bird #birds #kingfisher #nature #photography. Female Kingfisher beat its catch on the branch for 30+ minutes. It was either tenderizing it or trying to split it into parts in preparation for eating. Check out the videos that'll be posted in a minute.

Bald Eagles. Most sources say that young eagles are no longer parented after 4 to 12 weeks from leaving the nest. But I continue to see birds aged 1 to 2 years hanging around an adult. FYI: #video processed for extra clarity with Topaz Video. #bird #birds #eagles #nature #topaz #video

Rufous-Sided Towhee. Love the red eyes! I processed these after setting up my new computer to make sure all was working properly. Seems like it is so maybe I can get back to my photography. #bird #birds #towhee #nature #photography

Last year on this day, Feb. 4th, I took my #INSTA360 out to #BlackieSpit at #CrescentBeach, #BC for the first time. I like how the smaller birds came in just at the right time to finish this #video. #bird #birds #eagle #nature

Each year I make a calendar from my photos. Here's February. (Yes. We do get days like this in February.)
Plane is Harbour Air. Building houses the 12 O'clock Cannon at #StanleyPark. And that's the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing, in the distance. #photography #Vancouver #BC

Narrow Miss. Can't help but feel like this bird was thinking, "He could of killed me!" Later he dove and came up with what looked like a crab but by then it was too foggy to tell. #video

Combined two photos of this eagle sitting atop a tree in the fog. He spread his wings and flew off but away from me, so no photo of him in the air. That's all from my foggy day walk! Happy February, everyone! #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography
