AND AGAIN

Back out to Tagish on Monday.  Turned into a beautiful day.  Sunny and warm.  Still lots of swans but numbers might be starting to fall off.  A lot more geese and more, and a greater variety, of ducks.

More ducks

Just a nip

Starts a real dustup

Things get worse

And feathers start to fly

One walks off

And everyone high-fives

MORE SWANS

Went back to Tagish on Friday afternoon.  Sunny but windy and cold.

Its that time of year again and the Trumpeter Swans are arriving back at Tagish.  I went out yesterday and although there wasn't a lot of flying, they were quite co-operative.  I was out a week ago but all the birds were too far out for good photography.

On The Beach

Have just spent a couple of weeks in Victoria B.C.  Spring was arriving and I was at the beach photographing the birds for a few hours each day.  Sun was shinning, flowers coming up and most of the time the birds were active and co-operative.
