The birds on Boundary Bay were not happy with us this week. The mallards and wigeons in the duck pond stayed down at the far end. The gulls sat out on the farthest sand bar; and it was a low, low tide that roared back in before we got halfway to the edge.
And the few birds within reach weren't cooperating.

| "Hello? What do you think you're doing?" |
 |
| "I'm outta here!" |

| Heron fishing |
 |
| Heron leaving |
 |
| Redwing blackbird female, hiding atop a newly-leafed willow |
 |
| Redwing blackbird male, making things difficult |
At least the flowers stayed put.
And this is why I'm not a birder.
ReplyDeletethis was my issue today as well.
ReplyDeleteWrong camera,no bins. Had a great Snipe and by the time I stopped the car and got the camera , came up with a blurry "I am leaving" shot.
sigh
The ducks were strange. Usually they mob us. Not a birding day.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember seeing a shot of a great blue heron where you see the bird, its shadow, AND its reflection. And so widely separated. Cool! =)
