   Moon over Mossback The 4 images above in the slideshow were shot approx 40 min after sunset.. and the one below of the whitetails several minutes later.      I came upon a small lake that was filled with ducks. As I was a long ways off, I didn't realize right away that most of these birds were Northern Shovelers. And quite an abundance of males. These ducks are filter feeders and use their shovel shaped bill to scoop up food from the top layer of ponds and lakes. You will typically see them paddling along with their head down and sweeping back and forth collecting invertebrates and seeds. Very colourful and cool birds!
 Hello to everyone!!!!
Special contest to win the cards ... I need two correct answers 1.. What kind of bird is this? 2. I need you to tell me specifically the location of this image (within 1 km) first person to correctly answer both parts of the quiz wins send your guesses to [email protected] thank you for watching my blog... lots more to come... TerryV I am working on the latest images which might take a few days to process so you can expect some unusual wildlife images to show up over the next few days.
I was about 1000 miles away on a long overdue visit... Think I might have a few different perspectives , landscapes and wildlife to show you! Cheers. .... TerryV  This teeny tiny beauty is a Golden Crowned Kinglet. Generally seen in the forests hunting insects and in loose flocks or groups. They flit and hop about so quickly that I find them difficult to focus and photograph ... Lots of misses today! My dad who was a Canadian Veteran loved the birds and today I am thinking of him!        These large majestic swans (weighing in at 25+ pounds) nest each year in northern BC, Alberta, Alaska & the Arctic wetlands. This time of year they return South to warmer climates for winter. Vancouver Island and Washington state seem to be a favourite over winter. The centre photo shows two adults and two young of this year (the darker pair at the bottom)
