Not many of this species in the area of North Saanich - and the ones we saw were almost all far out.

A different setting for this shot of a Bald Eagle. A bit of luck in the early morning, as there was a lot of cloud around. We were able to stop the car just in time when we saw an eagle flying towards us, get out, adjust and manage probably my favourite shot of the weekend. The sun was below wing level, which caused a shadow above instead the usual opposite lighting.

There have been over 50 Hooded Merganser uploads on BV, however one can't tire of seeing this bird. He juggled a crustacean for some time before engulfing it whole. North Saanich, BC.

Ottawa - I am not a fan of 'pole' birds but I make an exception when the right individual or circumstances comes along. This fine looking male made the cut :) It was my first male this winter.
