The skies clear and I take a late evening photo safari

  1. Last evening I finally got some time to go out for a brief photo safari and my first find was a female Osprey, sitting high up in a favourite haunt.  She wasn't there long before leaving to fish. Very soon  these beautiful birds head  to South America for their winter holiday!

Brewers Blackbirds which are quite a numerous resident around farms and ponds in N Saanich gather here on a wire in a flock of hundreds.. Here are 7,  shot just about sunset.

I must admit that I am unsure if this group of birds are Lessor Yellowlegs, but if not could someone please send me a note with an ID.
These images were shot well after sunset at a slow shutter speed and high ISO, but felt they are such lovely long legged creatures  and worthy to post.  They feed in shallow ponds on quite a variety of insect species.  This is yet another bird that is migrating South to various places as far as South America.  Birds are incredible!

A few slow shutter speed images taken in the hazy morning light of Mr Anna's who is quite relaxed now because most of the migrant Rufous have left... Ahhh .. the solitude!

I'm amazed to still see a young Rufous Hummingbird on August 10th
