These are a couple of older photos from when I first got back into photography a couple of years ago.


Not the greatest but I was pretty damn happy(and still am) considering they were taken on an entry level canon.

Pretty dag on nice.

Well we had a long week of snow and cold in Portland Oregon, I kept my local hummingbirds alive during this time by keeping the feeder full and defrosted. It seems to have created a degree of familiarity, as I cannot now service the feeder without supervision.

We have had beautiful winter weather. The sun is low in the sky and on bright days illuminates BIF from the side and not above - perfect! Here's a male kestrel from the weekend.

Looks like their necks should just flop down and hang, they are so long!

It was fantastic. Like being in a chocolate store! Their take off and landing is quite ungainly. but in the air, they are amazing. What I shared is a small section of the group. There must have been about a hundred or more in the entire group. I have a photograph where I think there are about eighty!

This is a bird in flight, albeit, a short flight. I thought it may bring a smile.
