For #ThursJay, an American #Crow with some walnut in his beak, that he had no trouble extracting from the shell he broke open.

I was very happy to get a decent picture of a male Bufflehead with his iridescent colours on a sunny day, at Burnaby Lake, on March 02, 2026!

Tonight's Moon (March 4th). I'm still trying for a 'better' picture of this. I managed to get a couple of shots before the clouds came rolling in.... at 100MPH! It was nice and clear then it was covered. 🫀 #Moon #MoonPhotos #MoonShots #Luna #SkyAtNight #NightSky #Photography #CanonR7 #Sigma150600

I was out back when a Black Vulture swooped low over the house.

A Eurasian robin perched on a moss-covered branch, singing. They are very territorial and this is how they warn off competition.

Great article! So glad he won! I hope he doesn't mind if I mention he's on Bluesky!

A vertical photo of ice surrounding a small channel along Lake Superior. The red granite that make up the shoreline are coated in a heavy layer of ice. Water dripping from waves forms opaque white icicles that are thicker on the bottom than the top. The ice is clear at the bottom, branching out from the bases, resembling jeweled scepters.

Another study of some of the details in the ice along Lake Superior.

A Nelson's Sparrow surprised me yesterday while I was birding along the shoreline. Didn't even know about this species. It stayed close to vegetation, weaving in and out, but I still got a couple of pictures.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoutItOut. This Yellow-headed Blackbird was calling out, loudly. If you've ever had a chance to experience these birds in person, you can probably hear this photo.

Anna's Hummingbirds are very common in their range, but I think this means they get overshadowed easily. Check out the map from Cornell in the second image. This species is not widespread, so is a pretty special bird for those of us lucky enough to live along side them! #birds #photography #nature
