Bird photography

[GrandCiel]

Great shots of both the osprey and the eagle! Not easy to capture, as these guys move pretty fast! Where were these taken?

My back yard between Seattle and Tacoma, WA. I live on a small lake, narrow at the end I live on but wider at the north end, with a very high bank and trees on each side blocking good light but I do have railway tie steps and a small clearing on the shore I like to walk down to with a good cigar and glass of wine and I bring my camera in case I see something interesting. The steps are a bit overgrown and eroded now and need some repair. Thanks.

I did take this picture in 2020, but I still love it. It is just perfect.

I love this R. Frost poem about one, never seen one in real life yet!

Florida Scrub Jay. Classified as a threatened species as won't/can't adjust to habitat other than scrublands which are disappearing due to development. These were in the 360-acre

Lyona Preserve behind a public library. From today's hike.

Many of the parks and preserves are still closed or have limited access after the hurricane blew through here - so my opportunity for catching birds is a little more difficult....
