Yellow Warbler






Spotted this one at Swan Lake feeding it's kids. The young ones were able to fly short distances and hop from tree to tree. 

More Beauty Shots!

Also was lucky to encounter this one at Swan Lake.

Remember to share the side walk.



Yo... sup?

Barn Swallow




Saw this one along Dallas Rd. Possibly building its nest or eating a bunch of bugs. 

Belted Kingfisher








I was lucky to take these photo's a while back along the gorge. It was doing it's job too picking up small fish along the shorelines. 

Turkey Vulture




This one was patrolling the skies over Swan Lake. Kept circling around in the sky for sometime.

More Hummingbirds You Ask?






Took these shots at Swan Lake. I was happy with the way they turned out. 

Killdeer

Snapped this shot along the nature trail at Swan Lake. I spotted two of these birds having a conversation. They are loud and they have no problem with Canadian Geese.

Juvenile Bald Eagle


Juvenile Bald Eagle

I believe my sister in law spotted this one at Burnaby Lake. The lighting quality isn't the best. I was just getting use to using my camera at this point as well. It was up in that tree with quite a few crows surrounding it.

American Crow


American Crow

I spotted this one at Island View Beach Park. This one just sat on that piece of driftwood for ages. Probably waitng for the Eagle to bring back a snack from the Ocean.

Varied Thrush

Thanks to Tania from work for helping me classify this one. I had no idea what it was and struggled to figure it out for quite some time. Spotted it in Vic West. Very neat color pattern.

Canadian Goose


Canadian Geese

You dont have to look far to find these iconic figures. I took these shots at Swan Lake. Watch your feet, cause these birds cover lots of ground!

Mallard Duck

I took these shots at Swan Lake. The most common duck you will probably find on this rock. A staple in the lakes of North America.

Red-breasted Merganser

I spotted this fella swimming in the Gorge Waterway. Another bird from the family of birds with oddly shaped heads!

Finch

I took these shots at Swan Lake. Spotted this trio up in a tree near the bluff. Cool looking bird. I had first thought they were Cardinals but later realized I was evidently wrong.
