My first time catching more than a fleeting glimpse of a Varied Thrush. It never came out of the shadows, but it was still neat to see.

A thrush so nice you posted him twice~

What a gorgeous bird.

I feel like the luckiest person in Alberta - I had an uneventful* 7-hour drive to Peace River, which is and remains quite lovely and unburnt.

I'm glad you're okay! I hope things remain calm for you.

Those are some awfully nice duckling photos for a guy named Fart Amplifier. :kimchi:

I've never seen shags photographed so nicely! What beautiful eyes.

Can someone explain a little bit about ExecuDork's photos, and why some of them have a reddish aura around the gulls? Seems most prevalent in the third photo. Is that just a lens thing?

That's really not an American Goldfinch. I don't have the ID but it's not a goldfinch. Hmm...

Wilson's Warbler! That's it.

I've never seen those woodpeckers before! :allears: The first photo is so lively.

And yeah, IDs are hard. I mostly know what isn't a goldfinch because my neighborhood is jam packed with them. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Ok, pretty sure this is a starling.



And a lovely one, too! And silly me, their beaks ARE orange. I thought they had darker beaks, for some reason... :downs:

Anyway, those colors sure are lovely.

LOOK AT THAT SIRIUS CHICKENFACE. :neckbeard: I love him, what breed is he/she?

Wow! The peregrine may not be in the best focus, but those yellow flowers sure make a striking background. What a shot!

I'm guessing it's a ruby-throated hummingbird. Anna's look pretty similar and are also in your region, but that guy has a very green head, so I think ruby-throated.

Edit: Oh, wait. Rubies are rare in your parts. Uhh. Broad-tailed?
