It's a cold, rainy Pacific Northwest Christmas. Perfect weather to blanket up and dig into Kate Beaton's book.

Amazing book. Important too, I think.

Downside of yesterday: Phone stolen. Upside of yesterday: First great pictures of 2023.

Most times I photograph Goldeneyes I feel like they're giving me a death glare. I seem to have escaped this one's notice.

For too long I have struggled with the force field around Hooded Mergansers that prevents me from getting in focus shots. But no longer!

This Ms. Hooded Merganser was doing some quite successful fishing so close st Stanley Park! I was thrilled to get some lovely pictures. #birdphotography

Ms. Hooded Merganser did actually swim into the sunlight at least a few times. #birdphotography

1/2 - I had a really great talk with BBC Outlook- In person it was a long conversation and it’s edited for time etc but again I hear the part where I talk about cancer in Indigenous communities around the oil sands cut out. So I will say again. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

My #HourlyComicDay contribution from 2017, the one year I participated. (1/2)

Went to Reifel last weekend, and while the weather wasn't great we still had a great time and saw some good birds, including this very polite Anna's Hummingbird.

It has come to my attention that we're in thesis defense season and not everyone has seen the snake fight thesis defense fanfiction archiveofourown.org/works/28299630

Good to see our purpose-built bat hibernaculum being put to good use! Vincent Wildlife

First warbler of the year was this Yellow-rumped Warbler last weekend. Taken at Hastings Park, Vancouver.

Quietly I wondered if this summer in my geriatric house would be any better. The first hot day of spring days: Absolutely not.

The weather last weekend at Colony Farms wasn't the best but the birds sure were. All the swallows showed up while I wasn't looking, including this pair of Northern Rough-Winged.

Sora! Always exciting to see.

Working from home and hear a bird noise outside, head whips up. "Was that Quick, Three Beers"?? It's not like, an impossible rarity but still very surprised to find an Olive-sided Flycatcher near my relatively urban home.
