And the Rudy Turnstone - one old in non-breeding and two from today in breeding plumage.

Nice to see these birds in their breeding plumage; what a change with their regular non-breeding outfit! I know their very similar Atlantic cousins well enough but haven't seen those (yet) in breeding plumage... Nice shots ISv, v. well done!

Wiebe.

Thanks Wiebe!

WOW, when I don't get notified many shots get posted and so I'll cop out and sayV nice to all of them.

Now a while back Eagles were being posted and I felt left out so here's mine. It's down the road to the edge of town at Old Masset where a carver does his magic.

Even those fly off when I try for a shot!

;D ;D ;D!!!

Very nice portrait, lion rock.

Riley I'm so envious! BTW, drove up my drive this afternoon and there was a Pileated on the power pole so they are not all dead as I've feared.

Thanks.
Great that the pileated are back for you. Look for your shots of them!
And I reciprocate the envy, you manage many more greater shots.

We don't even have any spring, so there is double envy! Same old birds.

Jack,
Those were shot near Vancouver, and the weather there is much milder. Also, with ocean and rivers nearby, wild life are more abundant and varied.

Been away from CR on a visit to Australia and New Zealand. What's common for those down under is a new experience for us Brits. The birds are so tame that it I left the 5DIV and 400mm DO II in the hotel and have been using the 5DSR and 100-400mm II. Here are a couple of honey eaters captured in Sydney, a Little Wattlebird and a Noisy Myna. I love these little Mynas.

The Maskedplover is known by a variety of names and is common here. The Sulphurcrested cockatoos are very noisy. The Crested Pigeon is very cute. What surprised me in my ignorance was the abundance of the Australian White Ibis - they are everywhere in the Sydney Botanic Gardens, which is a wonderful park overlooking the harbour and Iconic Opera House - they are pests and called bin chickens
