Here's a few from my last trip out:

Cheers Brian

I really like the first and second picture. Well done, Brian.

Very nice shots, like the last for context.

Thanks Jack, nice to watch a few different species gang-up on all the nest plunderers if they came too close. Damn hard to get a good shot though, many times they are just too far away.
I also saw some Curlews driving off Bussards and Herons, but too far away to be usefull.

Cheers Brian

Brian, you're right. Most little birds are fearless when it comes to protecting their offspring and it's always fun to watch. At Haida Gwaii I watched the ravens seemingly taking delight in harassing the eagles for no apparent reason. Not surprising that the indigenous folk traditional identified with two tribes.
