Photos From Today

The weather here in Vancouver has been a bit odd lately (when is it ever really normal?) so Keith and I headed outside for a quick loop around Lost Lagoon. On today’s menu (well for me at least) was to capture the resident Red-Winged Blackbirds. I don’t really have a decent photo of the male or female, but I kept trying. These were the results from the walk.

The female (above 3 photos) kept flying to the bench this man was sitting on. He was feeding them something, but the female would fly in, sit on the top, hop down to the seat, take some food, hop down onto the ground, munch on them and then take off back to the tree nearby. She did this over and over again so I tried to practice capturing her in flight.

The male red-winged blackbird was near by and attacking this seagull who tried to get in on the action of being fed by the man on the bench.

Other than that, there wasn’t too much happening at the Lagoon this time around. The local Mute Swan Cygnet did not make it this year. One nest has had eggs for over 6 weeks, and then another nest still has 3 or so eggs, though we’re not sure if they were moved from one nest (by the parks people) or if they were truely laid by the swans at that nest. Oh well, we’ll see if anything else happens.

I gotta get more photos of something OTHER than birds though. I hope that my photos (even if they are of birds) doesn’t bore you too much.

What do you like to photography?
