I was told by a good friend that there was an injured Eagle up in Fortune Channel! So I gathered my gear, included capturing gear, and headed out. …
FEATHERED MISADVENTURES
Wayne has found a new bear! Please stop by his blog to take a look at his fabulous wildlife photos. Wayne lives in Tofino, British Columbia.
Seeing these early morning Canada geese while we were out for a heat-avoiding early morning walk reminded me of Supertramp’s Good-bye Stranger. I developed a bit of an earworm and wasn’t sure why until I thought of some of the lyrics.
It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on …
If you like Supertramp, here’s Good- bye Stranger from their album Breakfast in America.
Happy Saturday.
This sequence shows my fine feathered friend Romeo arriving at our meeting spot. He always brings a big smile to me!
ROMEO’S ARRIVAL
If you haven’t stopped by Wayne’s blog to see his wildlife photos – especially his eagle photos – you are missing out. His photos are truly amazing!
I love watching chickadees! They are so pretty and seem to almost float during their undulating flight.
They are very tough little birds who stay in the north year-round, even through -45C (-49F). They shelter in small tree holes or other protected spots and live on their stored food supply. They are so amazing!
Happy Tuesday!

I saw several of these signs when I stopped for lunch at Vancouver’s Granville Island.
On the other side, the signs say this.
Very true. As M and I sat on a bench overlooking the water to drink our coffees, a mom with two young daughters arrived to sit on the bench next to us. The youngest one, who is about 5, began to take a bite from her sandwich but within seconds, a gull flew in and ripped the whole sandwich practically out of her mouth.
In the blink of an eye, there were no less than five or six gulls aggressively fighting over the sandwich in the small space between me and the little girl. I would not have wanted to get in their way!
The little girl was scared and her mom shocked. I wondered what would have happened if they hadn’t quite gotten the sandwich; they might have swarmed the child.
So I agree with the BCSPCA. Feeding the birds is not healthy for them, in more ways than one.
Happy week. 🙂

A Bengal tigress with a catchlight in her eye lies up to her neck in the dark shadows of a water hole.
The interplay of light is stunning.

Hide and Seek
“As this azure damselfly slowly woke up, he became aware of my presence. I was lined up to take a profile picture of his wings and body, but quite sensibly the damsel reacted to the human with the camera by putting the Marsh grass stem between me and it. I took the shot anyway. It was only later that I realised how characterful it was. And how much the damselfly looks like one of the muppets.”

Seriously, would you share some?
“Atlantic Puffins are amazing flyers and their fishing talents are – well – as you see, some do better than others! I just love the second puffin’s look – can I just have one please?”
Happy Wednesday. 🙂
