    Snow bunting (AKA the "toasted marshmallow)

    As soon as I saw the word "Bunting" I raced to your post to see what this subspecies looked like compared to the more known Bunting with the brightly colored feathers. This one is just as beautiful as the Painted Bunting in its own way. I wish they inhabited the west coast, N. Cal to be exact...

    Sad news

    Here is something I wrote to Bill in private messaging on the website: RIP Bill, I found the news by accident on Ducati. ms. Many people there were saddened by your passing. I really appreciated knowing you and your passion for bird photography. I loved looking at your photos, all of them, but...

    Edmonds Backyard Critters

    Cute little bugger. For the first time ever, we had a visiting squirrel in our backyard a couple of years back. I have never seen a squirrel in any of the four homes we lived in going back 45 years. I finally figured out why. Each house was bought new, in tract developments that contained no...

    Edmonds Backyard Critters

    Cotton Tails are one of the cutest critters around. We have quite a few of them in the area, mostly near the creeks and ponds.

    I appreciate it when you provide what camera, lens, and other settings Bill. It really helps newbies like me.

    Some Nor Cal Raptors

    I guess they heard the statement, "can't we all get along?" Lenny, is the two middle Eagles juvies, or are they just having a bad feather day, or were they playing in a muddy pond?

    Some Nor Cal Raptors

    I totally agree Bill, thanks for inviting Lenny to the forum. His photography is more than outstanding. Looking forward to seeing more contributions. Thanks, Lenny. Where do you plan on moving to Lenny after you retire? I'm thinking the same thing, but staying in California, I'm at the base...

    Edmonds Backyard Critters

    That was a fun post to follow Bill. I'll chime in on the mystery squirrel, I think it's a juvi Eastern Gray just based on the comparison of the Gray Squirrel face off on the fence with the Doug Squirrel. The common color band in the tail of the two squirrels was the telltale clue. Those Doug...

    Blue Heron

    Here's a photo I took of a Blue Heron I thought I lost over a year ago. I was using either a Canon T3 or T4i, forgot which lens and the blurry green thing on the right is a shrub. Just for info, I bought a new Canon 80D in late 2019, but for reasons below, I haven't been doing much photography...

    Birds of Edmonds, WA. 2019

    Bill, your photography inspired me to break out the 80D today and just drive around the farm country and find something interesting to take pictures of. I was going to ride the Goldwing up to a buddy's house north of me, but I can do that tomorrow, maybe.

    Sandhill cranes

    Nice images and beautiful birds too.

    80d vs 77d

    Oh no, you got me thinking again Bill and that's dangerous! I'll see what the used market is like.

    80d vs 77d

    I've been thinking about upgrading from my Rebel T4i to something newer. I'm a novice user and the camera will be for general photography, mostly outdoor daytime stuff and I would like to pursue wildlife photography mainly. From a technical standpoint, what I have read is both cameras are...

    Beautiful bird, first time seeing one in photos.

    Snow Scenes 2019

    I guess you could say snow is fun when less frequent. Gives the neighborhood a totally different look. Interesting. I can't imagine living in it for months at a time and 6' high, a great incentive to retire as soon as you can and become a snowbird. I would certainly become one if I lived in...

    Birds of Edmonds, WA. 2019

    It's been getting pretty cold at night down here as well, 29-30 degrees with 28 expected tonight. I was going to set up my telescope since it was a day after the new moon, having dark skies and no clouds for once, but I was buried with work and with the cold conditions I chickened out. I have...

    Birds of Edmonds, WA. 2019

    Makes you wonder if disease played a part. I hear about contagious bird diseases, I hope this isn't the case. Is there a facility in your area that would respond to something like this?

    First time observation of Orioles in the backyard

    Thanks Bill, looks like I need to subscribe to the bird guide, the Cornell site is very comprehensive, but I wonder if they offer a book or a few volumes instead of EBooks? I can see by the map they are here this time of year because of breeding, I can only say I haven't seen them before because...

    First time observation of Orioles in the backyard

    About a month ago we received a surprise visit to the hummingbird feeder. It was a bird with striking yellow body color with black markings, about the size of a blackbird actually and what confused us he was drinking out of the hummingbird feeder. He returned a couple more times in the days...

    Ditto to all!
