I've been on a few shooting sessions since my last post (life does get busy, doesn't it?). I will add a few shots from each starting with the latest.
These are in Edmonds, mostly birds. With one exception most are upbeat and fun. That exception is the Edmonds waterfront has lost one of it's resident Kingfishers. It was trapped in a salmon pen that was installed recently (see earlier post) and couldn't find its way out. I contacted some folks about it a week of so ago requesting the bird be removed, not sure if that has happened or not. Was still there several days later.
On to fun things...
These gulls were either in a courtship ritual or a big disagreement. It sure looked like the latter to me.
The "discussion" continued for a while. They finally flew off, and one returned. It was a noisy scene.
Another sign of spring
Um, definitely some courtship going on. 'Nuff said.
I love trying to capture birds at the beginning of their dive - "kissing the water", so to speak. This merganser decided to head down.
So much for spring. We had a family weekend in Leavenworth, WA with a lot of snow the second day. Yes, it was snowing as hard as it looked.
Beautiful scenery
This goose was coming right at me, just overhead
A Goldeneye in the Wenatchee river, shortly after the goose flew by. The water was clear and I could track it as it dove and swam against a very swift current. I was using it's beak to overturn rocks on the river bottom. Very interesting!
