It took two lengthy trips in a week to achieve this result but it was well worth it.
Another stunner. Fabulous to see!!
I think you’ve outdone yourself. Congrats on a “smasher”
This looks like a juvenile Ring-necked Duck. Scaup have pale blue bills.
This bird is looking great and has clearly settled in with the help of local birders. There are multiple eBird reports daily.
Simply gorgeous. Glad the weather cooperated too! I may try and take my chances – have a work trip 🙂
An absolute stunner! Congrats!
Thanks. It is tricky with the busy street, the park hills, the kids and dogs. The weather has been uncooperative as well for weeks with fog and many cloudy days.
Nice light. Best capture yet.
It was a treat for sure. The weather forecast said low winds but they blew at 30 kph+ making photography, even on a monopod, very challenging.
Wow! What a treat, and congrats given the background you described!
What a nice photo and setting!
Your life list must be getting up there with all these new species.
Looks like a very rewarding trip!
Beautiful!
Another first!!
Congrats on the first upload of this species.
A great series. You obviously had a good time.
Didn’t know what we were looking at. Merlin to the rescue!
Nice to see the females too 😊
The Boreal Owl was high on my list for this winter. The shot window was very narrow because of branches, only about a metre, so a few of us were crowded together for a short time. Three were up and three were down in the snow. My knees took a beating. 🙂
