Recent Birds

Not too much to report since last i checked in but i will say that today i finally decided to bring my lens in to Nikon again to get it fixed, it should have gone in a while ago actually and it seems like the right time now, before the fall begins in earnest.

Couple of birds from the last while



Pigeon Guillemot
one of roughly a dozen i saw off the Lonsdale pier last sunday morning.
My life was actually threatened while i was on the small public dock by a young fella who didn't like me sitting there, he kept saying stuff until finally i had enough and confronted him back, he backed down to my delight and in the end i realized he was tending to some illegal crab traps and didn't want me taking his pic (which i should have, had i known he was going to throw a broken net back into the water rather than put it in the garbage), geez, some people..

Checked out Jericho (and did a couple of uneventful walks at Maplewood as well) and got some shots of these birds





American Goldfinch





Warbling Vireo





a young Anna's Hummingbird that landed right in front of me and posed for a while

That's all (for a while i guess)
