Beautiful shots Mike

A Peregrine looks down his bill at me:

Had to add this one I recently took a puffball on legs.

Here's one from today - a Lesser Scaup coming right at me. I actually wanted to get a shot like this to show how narrow the nail is on the bill.



Good birding,

This one was fun. Lets have another look.

Some interesting looks no doubt! lol.
Most of my 'head-ons' are mistakes... ie. I'm not fast enough with the shutter (birds flick their heads around too fast), but sometimes the images turn out interesting.

Recently someone said I should take a look at this website. So I did. I was surprised to see this thread which I started in ancient times still active. Been a long time. I've probably added 3,000 or so photos to my Flickr page since I last posted here with one or two exceptions. Flickr photos are (mostly) sorted by Albums (species).

Recently I came across a small flock of Barrow's Goldeneyes. Most I've seen in a long time. They were near Blaine. I noticed the odd appearance of the males when they stare head-on. Like this.... (if I can remember the HTML)





Normally one sees them from a side view. Like this...

The Rufous male arrived a little earlier this year on March 12
