My first time this year shooting the snow geese was the best. And a Skagit Valley Herald photographer shot this of me. it was featured a few weeks back. I've yet to meet up with him to pick up a few copies. https://www.goskagit.com/filming-fowl/image_e03dcb93-9529-5383-b4d9-7bd9b97e84e5.html

Will do, buddy!! But I gotta pack up my gear and head to my house, then go do a tree job. Need to leave early to catch the Bainbridge Island ferry so as to be able to catch tonight's Supermoon rising over downtown Seattle and the Spaced needle (I'll bring weed) Picking up Quinn, a great arborist...

Sorry that I don't come around the TH much these days, but here's my latest. Eagle was low down and so close that I dared not get out of the car. Had to reach behind my seat to get the camera with big 150-600 Tamron attached and, minding the twinge in my shoulder, bring it to position. Shot a...

Always...I do eat lotsa chickenses...No bird flippin from me, Squish.... starlings are pests, I know. We don't have magpies here..... And crows endlessly pester other birds--bacause they are smart --smart asses, lol. I'm doing penance for hitting a bird with a rock when I was a young pup...

Chris, you'd didn't sense my sarcasm font? :cry: "Shoot" is a common term used by photographers...... I sure as hell would never shoot a bird, especially a protected one! And I don't hunt.

Shot my second and third great grey owls near last evening's awesome party. Ironically enough, my first was just last week in my stump grinding associate's woods. Tasty!! Enjoy, I did...and do! From the text on my FB page: Two great grey owls, chilling at 10 and 20 feet off the ground, a few...

Steve, that looks like a chestnut backed chickadee, which is what this image is of

Stopped by Pilling's Pond (google it) and Dave brought out this awesome little fella...a 4 day old Mandarin duckling. Last shot is what it will become...could be one of its parents.. Here's my album https://www.flickr.com/photos/rbtree/sets/72157626081375678/

Speaking of swallows: This tree swallow graced me with a stop atop this dead ash branch. I was ready and was able to capture one in focus shot, which is very rare with such a bird which flies about in such an erratic fashion. This heron family has the prime spot, the highest nest in this...

`Actually, they're juvenile or female red winged blackbirds. Their parents, now that I know, were flying around in the reeds last night. I find it amazing and interesting how different the plumage of some birds can be from young to mature. Conversely, I stopped by the Kenmore Heron Rookery...

Just a week earlier, here's a different mallard brood

I need help ID'ing these little fellas... they may be juvenile, not sure. Mallard ducklings, growing fast. These were taken last night, in low shadowed light. tough. Echo Lake, near home. I'll be back in sunshine... there's a Northern Flicker hanging out as well.

Like this Northern Flicker, Dave?: The whole flicker set:https://www.flickr.com/photos/rbtree/sets/72157624163213494/ as a slide show: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rbtree/sets/72157624163213494/show

That blackbird video was shot at Ridgefield, just north of portland. I've briefly visited it twice. Need to spend more time there.

Colorful!! I've added more images from yesterday's shoot: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rbtree/sets/72157626533749950/ as a slide show: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rbtree/sets/72157626533749950/show A teaser

No ospreys this time....But there's a rufous hummingbird pair at Andy's. Didn't see them either, but I'll be back. We went over to a neighbor who has several Anna's that overwinter at their place. Light bad again..more future photo op's. And he checked the 660. Needs a fuel line, but it tuned...

Just a few from this morning. Now I'm headed over to Andy's (Lakeside57 from AS fame) to hopefully catch the osprey pair catching trout...Lake Tuck was stocked this past Tuesday...and have him check out my 660, which may have an air leak..and maybe get his ripping chain and 36" Alaska mill for...

There's several killdeer images in my birds album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rbtree/sets/72157626533749950/ Uh oh, i've been spotted different time, wounded wing antics
