Sparrow - White Crowned
He is a common Sparrow around Courtenay / Comox but I liked the plain cloudy day water background. What looks like a paper shadow is an old pylon in the water.
Jumping [German?] Tiny
Tiny, here, with the German falcon emblem on his head was a tickle on my arm. Smaller than a green pea. I put him down on the black 1 1/2" handrail along the river at Lewis park. Could I get a macro with this klunky 70 - 300mm f4 glass? Well....just barely. Cute little rascal soaking up heat from the handrail.

Turkey..Mr. Wrinkles
Here is a young turkey in his prime. Not a thanksgiving turkey..[yuk!], but a janitor turkey who does a wonderful clean up job for us every day and does it for free! Hope Monsanto chemicals do not reach these birds like they hit our honey bees. If that happens we will be knee deep in serious Kaka.
PS: Steve, They finally discovered the fish cleanings. I hope you get some shots in. TG

Unusual yawn...
This extreme yawn or throat clearing shows the extra equipment these herons have for
swallowing large fish.

Green Heron Junior
The young ones like to play in old row boats half full of water just like kids.
Rare to find these secretive birds more used to people. These young, [all five ],
were born near our Airpark marina. So lucky for us with cameras.

Dragon Blue
Chalk blue and brown wings a not common at all around here. Wonder if these guys are less often seen? They look great in flight. Two dark bands supporting the light blue body when wings are buzzing.

Coon Feeling around for crayfish
A very patient coon who carefully groped the mud for a long time early this morning looking for fishing success.

Button pod lilly pad
This pond is only about 400 yards from the sea shore in a small park in Comox B.C.
Other inland ponds have lilly pad blooms in yellow yet there are no button like centers to them. A new variety to my eyes at least.

Butterfly lace
Have you seen this butterfly before? He is a new one to me. Only had a chance for one
image... facing away. Flew up high into the tree and out of sight. Oh well, better than no
image at all.

Butterfly..[ Tiny [
I was careful not to crop to tight on this tiny BF. ePhotozine.com rejects images below a
certain small size. Odd to see a touch of brown in the wing. Usually all blue. TG

Dragon..Not so special
I thought this was uncommon but was soon deflated to see one exactly like it uploaded to
ePhotozine.com. His was better than this too. Ouch! TG

Bush Tit.. [someone said]
These little guys were like Mexican jumping beans. Finally got one in the light. That he
was talking was a bonus. TG
