Hi David, : )

Great Robin shots. You really came close upon this one which yielded good details and a catch on mood and alertness.

I can't help but notice what that Heron is standing on. Such a lovely blue creature having to stand on the discarded metal waste that probably was thrown there by a human being.

I think the bucket is probably plastic, but you could say he was just recycling it!

Thanks Greg. Birma. Doc, & Yildiz.

I think that is a plastic bucket is what Mr Heron is perched on.
This is the inner harbour, lots of fishboats businesses & people,
no excuse though. If were going by in a boat I would scoop it out,
hopefully someone will.

Ah I see Dusty recognized the object. Glad you like them Dusty. Thanks.

Canada Goose in Ladner today.

The shots of the Robins are nice, but I thought the light in the shot of the Heron was particularly gorgeous.

Nice one, David Antony. : )

A peaceful moment in the Canadian goose's day which creates good photos; great overall coverage with many details of the plummage.


Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz

Lovely DA. I like the blue reflection in the water.

Also I've just noticed that Yildiz has become a "subsuming vortex of brilliance" . A very apt title - well done Yildiz.

Wow! Indeed. So it's been that long and that many posts on the boards... : )

Some members are approaching a moment in time, to mass for the creation of a private Alpha Universe of brilliance....including the above quaoted member!

Thanks, Birma.

That's a fine looking Goose DA. It's almost as good as being there. Are they migrating north?
Greg

ps. I'm not sure where DK got that one from...the SVB title, I think that is the end of the line.....maybe, unless he thinks up another one.

[Birma]

Hey Greg - you're also a SVB - I hadn't clocked that one. I wonder what the actual number of posts is then?

[david antony]

Thanks one and all.

Not all of these geese migrate Greg depending where they are.
The ones around the Great Lakes head south to California, some
stick around if there is still vegetation for them.

Keep an eye on the Doc for your future title, I would think he
his ripe for his next promotion. ;^)

[Dr. Harout]

Yeah, we are the ones who talk damn too much...

[david antony]

A few ducks.




And yet another Heron.

[Birma]

Hi DA, nice bird shots as always. I especially like the duck shot through the reeds.

[Greg Beetham]

Nice crisp Heron DA, I wonder what those quackers are standing on....a log or something I guess.
Greg

[david antony]

Thanks Greg & Birma. Yes that is a log the ducks are on Greg, many of them floating around here. Some float down the Fraser River, and others come in with the tide. As you noticed some float up from Ossie. ;^)
