Auto settings did a weird overexposure on this Rufous Hummingbird feeding on salvia. I really like it.

For the

I typically flip through my camera roll to find a photo that works. Today I used the challenge as inspiration to take a walk. Found this guy showing off his namesake epaulettes. The dry cattail leaf in front of him looks a bit like a sash.

An intermediate female Red-shafted x Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker showed up to feed on suet today. She's very skittish so I had to sneak around the house and hide behind a rhododendron to get any photos. Images cropped (all) and some shadow reduction (2nd & 3rd), but no other enhancement.

#Egrets
! We don't normally see Great Egrets in south-west Canada but the birding world here got into a frenzy, in the summer of 2023, when 1 showed up in Vancouver for a couple of weeks!
