PS ,, now also on instagram  A male Harlequin Duck ... taken today along Victoria's waterfront. (along with 1100 other shots) It may well be until tomorrow till I get the best ones sorted out! Thanks to all the great folks who I chatted with today! Its a real pleasure photographing birds and wildlife and also explaining what I am seeing... Thanks for looking... TerryV #naturalimagescanada Now also on instagram *** naturalimagescanada    The group of Harlequin Ducks sunning on the rock eventually went out on the water, but this little fellow stayed back and had a long bath and grooming session... What fun!    This handsome shorebird was new to me and kindly ID'd by a friendly birder (thank you, sir) as a Black Turnstone! They are very dark when sneaking through the tide rocks searching for small mollusks which they were prying off the stone.      These local characters are always a treat for me to watch! Oystercatchers enjoy the afternoon sunshine!
 Male Hairy Woodpecker pictured (The males have the red patch at the back of their head) If you see a woodpecker that looks similar to this it is either a Hairy or a Downy ( about 2/3 the size)   There's nothing like a bath in the rain in January, right??? :)   |
