Nice one. I don’t tire of these birds.
A winter favourite. I’m hoping for one closer to home this year.
Great capture, one of the famous Vancouver airport Shorties.
You are right. I dreamed of getting a shot like this with an adult male for years and when the scene unfolded I clicked away. Everything worked. I’ve had some luck closer to home in the past with males, which are never very numerous here (more females and immature males) but with nowhere near the result.
Reminds me of our’s closer by 🙂
Great one!
Fabulous Sue.
A dream shot. Super result
Very nice subject and I like the wing stop.
One of my favourite birds.
The only way this could have been improved is if the bird had been closer to home. When I first arrived at the residence where the bird was coming to feed I saw it in a spruce tree right beside my car. Perfect timing. After that I had to wait an hour for it to return.
It was well worth the long trip.
Beautiful!
Great find!
Great find and capture,Brian!
Good capture
This has become one of my favourite shots of these great birds. I fell in love with them in 2021 and was happy to get back to see another irruption. There are hundreds in the region based on the tracks that I saw although finding more than a dozen in a full day is an undertaking.
This was a long haul in very cold conditions but the trip’s success made it all worthwhile.
Another new one. Excellent job Chris.
That is beautiful. Well done Chris.
One that I’m still waiting for. Great find and photo.
