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 🦉

#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #shadesofgrey so here's a Channel-billed Cuckoo (Scythrops novaehollandiae) that looks to have a significant wound in its wing. #LongPocket #Brisbane

I caught a blue and grey Steller's jay sitting near our feeder this morning, complaining loudly because it couldn't figure out how to get seed from a feeder designed for much smaller birds. #BirdOfTheDay #ShadesOfGrey #BeakOpen #Birds #Photography #EastCoastKin

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #shadesofgrey any bird with grey in their colours.
This little bird, Lesser Whitethroat, is good at hiding, or if can be seen, then too far away, like here 🤷

I get excited when I can get decent pics of some relatively hard-to-find bird, but these darned gorgeous northern cardinals keep flying in front of me at near eye-level in good light. Algonkian Regional Park, Sterling, Virginia, USA 14-Nov-2025 #birds

I am relatively certain these are Sanderlings flying along the beach in either Galveston Texas or Sanibel Florida. I'd lean more toward Sanibel, but it's hard to remember which beach when the picture was taken more than a decade ago! #birds #beaches #shorebirds

Sorry folks. I’m going to lie down in a darkened room. Yesterday’s shenanigans have caught up with me. Hope you all enjoyed #BirdOfTheDay today. I know I did. Lots of fantastic captures from around the world. Took this in my garden early morning today. Night night 😴 #birds #EastCoastKin
