    Nemesis Birds

    Post your photos (the good, the bad, and the ugly) of the bird or birds that you can never quite find or photograph. Bird photographers, like fishermen, all have a story about "the one that got away." Tell us yours. While not my official nemesis birds (that is reserved for the ruby-crowned...

    Comet SWAN

    A comet may be visible to us in the Northern Hemisphere this month. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/look-dazzling-comet-now-visible-134328848.html Hopefully the astro-photographers (and maybe the rest of us) on the site can get some photos to post.

    Camera Gear Request for Info: Shooting Blinds

    I am considering buying a shooting blind later this year. I'll use it to photograph backyard birds from my back deck so that my equipment and I don't have to sit out in the cold, rain, and wind. It may also help me photograph some of the more skittish birds, such as flickers and other...

    Bird Song Opera

    Desperate times call for desperate forms of entertainment for those who cannot get out to photograph birds.

    Birds of Edmonds, WA. 2020

    My first time out in ages. I was getting cabin fever and asked my wife drive Daren and me down to the marsh on Valentine's Day (2-14-2020). The herons paid no particular attention to me. Wesley, on the other hand, wondered where I had been.

    Hallowe'en at the Marsh

    To get into the Hallowe'en "spirits", every October Edmonds has a scarecrow contest. Businesses and residents alike put out entries. Monday afternoon (10-14-19) my son and I found this on the shelf of the #2 (main) viewing platform of the marsh. Maybe it is an entry to the scarecrow contest...

    Kenmore Camera Digital Photo 11/2-3/2019

    Time once again for Kenmore Camera's annual digital photo expo at the Lynnwood Convention Center. Run through the list of speakers and classes. Some look to be very interesting. If you decide to go, arrive early as the expo is well attended and the parking lot in the back tends to fill up...

    MIA: Canuck the Crow

    I received this message from someone who knows I am often out photographing birds. She requested that I pass it on to my fellow avian photographers. Not sure if you know about Canuck the crow in Vancouver, BC? He is a semi-tame wild crow that is famous on social media. He went missing nearly...

    Critters of the Edmonds Marsh

    As a matter of default, I primarily photograph birds at the Edmonds (WA) marsh since they are its most prevalent and visible wildlife. Bird photos now have their own forum, so I'm going to start this thread in the WIldlife and Animals forum as a one-stop shop for photos of all non avian photos...

    Snow Scenes 2019

    My first winter in the Puget Sound region was 1991-92. It was snowless, which I thought was the norm. I later read that it was the first winter for the area without a recorded snowfall in recorded history. Since then, snowless winters have become the norm rather than the exception. I also...

    Icicle 2-4-2019

    Monday at sunset I tried to get some artsy shots of an icicle on my back deck. It had snowed the night before and temps stayed in the low 20's all day.

    Fir Island and Samish Flats 1-13-2019

    After what has seemed like an eternity of dark and rainy days, my son and I took advantage of a clear Sunday (1-13-19) to head up north. First stop was the Hayton Farm Reserve on Fir Island. The view from the road leading to the parking lot is quite scenic. There is a large flock of ducks...

    Birds of Edmonds, WA. 2019

    New year, new thread. Monday afternoon (1-7-19) was bright and sunny, so Daren and I went to the marsh after the Save Our Marsh meeting was adjourned. The only photogenic birds I saw were a few herons. One was in the grass fairly close to the boardwalk. I was surprised that it did not fly...

    Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge 12-24-2018

    The Christmas get together of our extended family in the Portland-Vancouver area was scheduled for 12-23-18 due to the availability of a room large enough to hold all of us. The following day, Christmas Eve, my family and I drove out the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge River S unit for a...

    Samish Flats and Fir Island 12-03-18

    Monday was sunny, so my son and I drove up north. First stop was the DFW area on the Samish flats called the "West 90" by birders. Since it was so sunny, I attached the 7DII to the 500L telephoto lens + 2x III teleconverter for a really long reach. I was very disappointed with those shots...

    Fir Island 11-19-2018

    My son and I returned to Fir Island Monday afternoon (11-19-18). First stop was Wylie Slough. The tide was coming in and a small flock of yellowlegs flying northeast did not give me hope of seeing many shorebirds. Several herons were present. They proved to be very photogenic as I could...
