    California Quail

    Another nemesis bird. As you can see, I only had a few seconds to get off some shots. This Quail seemed to be a little more laid back. But still could not get closer. R.J Washington Park Anacortes

    Eaglet ( Smith Island )

    Last year 2019. What I call the Fir Island pair. Fledged there first eaglet, Then fledged a second eaglet thru the summer. This is not unusual, when there is plenty of food. Most eagles from this region follow the summer fish runs up to Alaska, Then return in late fall to winter in the Skagit...

    Eaglet ( Smith Island )

    They started in mid March, I do believe. The Smith Island pair are unusual, that they almost always rear one eaglet every year . They are successful raising there off spring . R.J

    Nesting Osprey ( New Pair)

    This pair has been hanging around Magnuson Park for the last few weeks. I know the female was from a brood from a few years back at Union Bay. How do I know? Look at her right wing. She has had that void in her wing since birth. I am so excited. Magnuson has not had a nesting pair for decades. ...

    Motion Blur

    Photographing Birds in flight against either a blue sky or cloudy. How I practice this. I find a place with lots of ducks. Like Smith Island. Why ducks. Most of the time they fly in a straight line, and the challenge is, they are very fast. You only have a few seconds to find, lock focus and get...

    Bald Eagle at Big Beef Creek

    I think its a great picture The head and eyes are sharp. I have dealt with this many times. My kit now consents of two body's A Canon 7D!! and A 5DIV. At least for me, the 7D is by far the better camera for BIFS. The 7DII has the better AF system.
