An assortment of bird photos.

            I love birds & have some lovely photos of them I'd like to share with you:

Osprey on the nest - Kootenay Lake, BC, Canada

Close up of an osprey in a tree in our yard.

Young ducks & their mom sunning on a log... usually there's turtles here, but not today.

A young flicker that was sleeping under our gas meter... when he realized I was there, he flew away :)

We saw so many blue herons at the seashore... lots of food for them :)

Three young blue herons waiting for dinner, close up.

We found an amazing heron rookery near the ocean, these young ones were patiently waiting for their dinner.

It's always a special day when I see a bald eagle.
There's many in our area, but it's still a treat to get a close up.

Kootenay photos

We're having an amazing Indian summer here in the Kootenays.
Since it's a busy time for many of us, I'm just going to post some photos I've taken recently, 

enjoy.
