Yesterday, I was fortunate to have joined the Kaslo Area Birders for a walk at the north end of the Lake. While others looked for birds, I looked for bird pictures. Here are four shots I liked.
A Mountain Bluebird was hunting from its perch atop a sign that read: No Hunting!
Bald Eagles and Turkey Vultures were soaring along a ridge. This is a juvenile Bald.
A highlight of the day was the freshly arrived Tree Swallows. This couple is having a conversation. Could they be saying: “John has found a really nice nesting cavity for Muriel.” Or maybe: “I really don’t like all those birders spying on us.”
Finally, a portrait of a Tree Swallow.
Wow! I really like the portrait of the Tree Swallow, well done :~)
Very nice tree swallow!
Great photos, Alistair. Thank you for posting these!
The last portrait looks like an alien penguin! Nice to see the swallows are back (can the ospreys be far behind?).
Perhaps one swallow was saying to the other “How’s my breath? I just swallowed a stink bug.”
I think the Bluebirds were hard of hearing.
great shot. perfect timing. nice sharp pic with good colour. I can see why it is a favourite.
