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

Song Sparrow (or so I believe). Snapped these while on a break from setting up my new computer. #bird #birds #sparrow #nature #photography

The moon as seen from my balcony this morning at 5AM on February 10, 2026. #moon #nature #nighttime #sky #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

Boat in fog. This is my first attempt at processing some photos taken in the fog. After looking at these two I got the feeling more contrast was needed. But how to do it without erasing the fog? #fog #seascape #photography

Final image of the eagle investigating a plastic bag. You can't make it out but a piece of plastic got caught in it's beak. How many birds die of plastic waste that we humans could just have easily disposed of properly? #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography #Plasticwaste

The camera can't capture how large an eagle is closeup. This one is investigating a plastic bag. After seeing this I couldn't help but notice all the other plastic waste around me. I couldn't pick it up as it's forbidden to walk off path. #bird #birds #eagles #nature #photography #CrescentBeach #BC

One of two eagles at Blackie Spit came over to investigate a plastic bag. #bird #birds #eagles #nature #photography #CrescentBeach #BC

Two Eagles. These two eagles were sitting in the marsh at Blackie Spit. #bird #birds #eagles #nature #photography #CrescentBeach #BC

Wooly Bear Caterpillar seen mid-January 2026 when they are usually hibernating. This wasn't the only one out that day. It's just the only one people hadn't accidentally stepped on as they walked along. #CrescentBeach #BC #insect #caterpillar #nature #photography

Two different hummingbirds at #CrescentBeach #BC. First recorded one is shaky due to a woman (despite the voice, not Sigourney Weaver 🙂) shaking the wooden bridge I stood on as she walked past. #bird #birds #hummingbird #nature #video

Hummingbirds were aplenty the other day as I walked along #CrescentBeach #BC. #bird #birds #hummingbird #nature #photography

The other day just as I turned a corner to the sea a #hummingbird appeared in front of me. I watched as it soared straight up about 50 feet, dived just as fast to about 40 feet to my right, then raced by a few feet in front of me at such speed I lost sight of it. #bird #birds #nature #photography

Orion Nebula (M42). January 16, 2026 as seen through my #Nikon D600 using tripod and a three second exposure. #nightsky #nightskyphotography #photography #Orion #M42

Pleiades as photographed from my balcony with my #Nikon Coolpix P1100. It may not look like much but no tripod was used. And, unlike my attempt to capture the bright red of the star Betelgeuse, the blue in these stars is clearly visible. #nightsky #nightskyphotography #pleiades #photography

Orion Nebula (M42). January 15, 2026. First clear night with the Constellation Orion in the sky where I could try photographing it from my balcony with my #Nikon Coolpix P1100. With just a bit of processing the nebula was made visible. #nightsky #nightskyphotography #photography #Orion #M42

Belted Kingfisher. #bird #birds #kingfisher #nature #photography This is the same kingfisher. Pardon the poor quality as she was photographed from quite a distance for my Nikon Coolpix P1100.

Belted Kingfisher. Not the clearest photo but I publish it to show the small fish it carried in it's mouth. #bird #birds #kingfisher #nature #photography

Belted Kingfisher Video. This Kingfisher flew by me with its familiar call as if to say, "Follow me." I did to where she landed in a tree then flew off to a post in the water where it occasionally jumped into the water. #bird #birds #kingfisher #nature #video

Juvenile Red Knot #bird #birds #redknot #nature #photography This Red Knot took a casual walk a few feet from where I was standing at #BlackieSpit. It was remarkably small, smaller than a Robin, I'd say. Note the included photo of it twisting its head into an unrecognizable form.

Varied Thrush. #bird #birds #thrush #nature #photography Close up of thrush with bug on beak didn't turn out as well as I hoped. My fault for using the wrong camera settings.

Varied Thrush. #bird #birds #thrush #nature #photography If you look closely you'll see a tiny gnat sitting on the beak.
