I was working in the North 40 Dog Park a couple of weeks ago & found this young fledgling from the screams it was making along with its 2 siblings when mom came in with food!

Today I headed out to Catbird Slough & the Nature Trail at Pitt Lake to try for an American Redstart. I heard them, but no sighting
I found these guys though ... I still haven't got a shot of the Bullock's that I'm happy with though.

And found this gal on the drive out, I still don't have a shot of a Kestrel that I'm totally satisfied with either.

Thanks for looking.

Your photos are absolutely beautiful Debra. What a thrill it must have been to find the little fledgling. I love your oriole as well!


Cheers.

Great photos! Especially of the hawk. I think that the hawk could be a Cooper's, but I am not sure.

Nice Hawk! I have not seen a kestrel in ages, you remind me I need to get out more.

Excellent hawk captures. The Yellowthroat is also top notch. For me, any time you can find a Bullock's, it's a good day.

Great set of photos, love the shots of the hawk. What is it with Kestrels, they are either in the air or on a wire? I would so like to catch them perched in a tree, a bush or even a wooden fence post.

Great photos Debra. Love your sharp-shinned and bullock. Would love to see Kestrel. I have not seen them so far this year but I am travelling to the interior of BC at the end of the month and I am hopeful to see them there.

Same here

Nice shots Debra, noticed your shots in the Birdwatching magazine online galleries, great stuff!

Good job Debra! As paul has said to get yourself in that magazine:)

Thanks Olympus13, but the photos are not actually in the magazine, anyone can contribute to their on-line photo galleries.

Very nice series Debra, especially the Kestrel. I am still searching for a Kestrel.
