Some pretty needing tree swallows this morning at George C. Riefel Bird Sanctuary in BC. #birds #birdphotography

Gonna shake it up from my birdies with some of my favorite botanical photos I've taken. Grape leaf anemone at our local Darts Hills Garden Park. #BritishColumbia #flower #bcphotography

It was so much fun to spot our first California Quail with its bobbing topknot foraging for seeds near the base of trees in snowy Twisp, Washington, this past December. #birds #birdphotography

Meet Art, the blue and gold macaw at the Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver, BC. #birds #bc #birdphotography

I love iridescent male Mallard heads and the vibrant purple stripe. This dude was posing like it was his job! #birds #bc

A quiet morning for this colorful Wood Duck at George C. Reifel Bird Sanctuary. #birds #bc

Throwback to Summer 2024, when our favorite Sandhill Crane pair had their fluffy babes. We lucked out encountering them on the trail and sat quietly watching them snack together. #birds

A goldenrod perch for a cutie-pie Song Sparrow in Delta BC. #birds

This is Kramer, a 23+ year old Moluccan Cockatoo now living his best life at the wonderful Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver (at Queen Elizabeth Park). He says, "I'm Kramer!" and "How ya doin'?" as well as some colorful phrases he may have picked up while living at a frat house! #birds

Oooh, the red eyes of a Spotted Towhee in Delta, BC. Pretty birds, but those eyes sure are somethin' else! #birds

My favorite little guys on the trail, Black Capped Chickadees. They zip in and out for quick nibbles and follow us along the walk. Had a sweet moment with this one. Searching for designs for a chickadee tattoo. #birds

Enjoying the bright green foot of the American Coot. CootFoot! #birds

Loads of Red Winged Blackbirds about at the migratory bird sanctuary this morning, catching the sunshine! #birds
