The image is a close-up of a crow's head and upper body, set against a blurred, neutral background. The crow has glossy black feathers, and its eye appears to be a striking reddish-brown. The focus is sharp on the crow, highlighting its detailed plumage and the texture of its beak.
A crow portrait that shows just how fur-like those head feathers can be. ย โค๏ธ๐ฆโโฌ

The image features a Great Blue Heron, in Lost Lagoon, Stanley Park. The heron is prominently displayed against a dark background, with its neck curved gracefully. Its beak is a vibrant orange/red color, contrasting with the blue-gray of its feathers. The heron just landed on a log in the lagoon.

A rare visitor in the sky today โ the osprey, calm and powerful in flight. I had to crop the photo even more just to see it clearly, but moments like this are always worth it.

One of my absolute favouritesโthe belted kingfisher. Always keeping its royal distance, but one day Iโll earn a closer shot.

A close-up of a juvenile ๐ก๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ข ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ณ๐บ๐ด, perched in a Red Alder tree.
Went for a quick mid-day nature walk after mowing the lawn.
Firstly: taking photos with arms that have just had a workout is not easy. ๐คฃ
Secondly: this baby White-crowned Sparrow (๐ก๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ข ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ณ๐บ๐ด) ๐ ๐ฆ

I mean, come on. Look at this pigeon. Iridescent purples and greens around the throat, and black, white, and grey markings everywhere else. And perfectly orange feets.
This guy is very stately. Mostly grey on the wings and a dark head, with bright orange feet and purple/brown iridescent feathers on the throat where it meets the breast.
Hello there! Lots of green on the throat of this pigeon, and beautifully checked wings and back.
More Rock Pigeon shots. They are so photogenic and very tame at our local marsh, which has a path running around it and through a small wooded area.

Three juvenile dinosaurs... er.... Canada Geese.
Possibly juvenile Mallard dabbling for food.
I WILL HAUNT YOUR DREAMS.
Baby Flicker, again.
Baby bird feature:
Yes, this is another photo of the baby Flicker. I can't help it, babies are just too cute.
Also: not sure if the Mallard is a baby or something else. Ducks aren't the easiest for me, with all the plumage variations.

The prettiest Mallard in the whole marsh.
Douglas' Squirrel, about to run away from me.
Rock Pigeon, close up. The colouration of the feathers is exquisite.
Great Blue Heron, giving its feathers a little fluff action while hunting fish.
More wildlife from the marsh today!
