I spent the weekend in Vancouver...

Fantastic flight shot of the heron. I like the coot but then I like close cropped portraits of birds.

 

Hi Rory,
Are you sure you did not sneek down here to Florida :>))

Looks just like all of our birds. :>))

Love the mood of the first one.

Very nice pics, thanks for sharing.

 

Very nice series Rory, and I happen to like the narrative. I like it when we get a nice story line to bind the picture series together. Looks like you had a great time. Is this a great hobby or what? :wink:

What was your cam / lens combo on these?

 

Excellent Rory. Love that coot shot.

 

Rory

Great series. Nice lighting on several of these Rory.

Nice series! BTW all the birds on Vancouver Island seem to be here in my backyard, and in the Cowichan Bay Estuary, tons of migratory birds coming thorugh right now.

 

Nicely done
as others I like the Coot shot, up close and personnel :smile:

and you got a good Kingfisher too !!

 

Great shots Rory, nice variety, looks like you had allot of fun and participants to play with :smile: I missed something here, when did you get the X , congratulations. So what are you thoughts??

 

Another nice series Rory. Love the Kingfisher. I am still on cloud nine after getting back from the Tetons yesterday. I am just getting caught up on looking at all the posts I missed while I was gone. Glad I saw this one.

 

Nice Shots! Love that kingfisher!

 

Nice series, Rory! And, you're not that bad at the story telling - added something to the post! Thanks for sharing these great shots.

 

Hi Rory.

Great shots and an especially nice capture of the kingfisher! I often find that its easier to get the shots where there's more people around, since then the birds are less shy. Where abouts in Vancouver did you capture these Rory?
