A Western sandpiper (Calidris mauri) forages on the shoreline of #VancouverIsland. To get this image, I anticipated which way the flock of sandpipers was going then I layed down on the ground.

Close-up of a shorebird on the shoreline. It has a long black bill, white chest and belly and a mix of redish, brown and black colours on its back and top of its head. It's foraging in pebbles and kelp.

"Twotone
Whilst not indigenous to the UK the Black Swan has a tendency to ingratiate itself with it's larger cousins, the Mute Swan. Side by side though they are much smaller in size and utter a musical and far reaching bugle-like sound which is very different to the Mute Swan." (photo and text N Hurst)

A photograph of the surface of a pond with choppy waves.
Against the background, in the center of the image spanning nearly from bottom to top is a bird.
It stands on two dark legs, half-submerged, gray-blue feathers on its back, fading to brown and white on its neck. It has one visible eye that is bright yellow. Its beak is long and sharp and has an orange color.
Some of the feathers on the bird’s back have been blown out of position by the wind.

Because Piwigo has started to annoy me, I’ve decided to write my own photography site. The URL is still the same (https://beakandlens.com) but it’s now running my own site made using Jekyll instead of Piwigo.

It’s still very much a work-in-progress, but the main functionality, viewing photos, is already there!

And since I always forget to mention it in my posts here, my photos are licensed under CC BY-NC. So go check them out and download them if you wish!

I haven't posted a bear photo in two days 😲​ Got distracted by the storm 😁​ Tomorrow is day 4 of my private photo workshop and we are hoping to photograph some bears. This photo was taken last week on #VancouverIsland

A single Tricolored #Heron standing in a pond of still water.
The water is so bright you can clearly see the #bird’s reflection, only slightly disturbed by ripples in the water caused by the #TricoloredHeron as it walks along.

A photograph looking over calm, blue water with a single bird nearly in the middle of the frame. It has long orange legs, white feathers under its belly and up its throat. The feathers on the back are blue and red. Its beak is long and yellow. It is reflected in the water, disturbed slightly by the bird’s walking.

World tiger population is at over 5500 with India hosting the largest number.
Tragically, there are more than 8000 tigers in captivity, which is not where they belong. Tiger farms use tigers for public display and entertainment, are engaged in illegal trade of tiger and tiger parts and do not contribute to wild tiger conservation.
This beautiful tigress is from Bandhavgarh, India. Photographed in 2018.

I’ve been hanging out in the marsh the last few weeks trying to see the sora who have come to eat the wild rice. They are easy to hear but hard for me to see through the thick vegetation. I think this photo will be the best I get this year. Happy Wednesday everyone!

Rescued this chap after he'd wandered indoors.

Have since realised it's probably a brown stink bug, an invasive pest. Oh well, hopefully I won't find lots more, and he can go about his merry way.

Living in a medium sized city it's not often I see interactions between large species. The eagle caught a fish & landed on an ephemeral log out of frame to the left. After eating the fish, the eagle hopped to the juvenile great blue heron's log. It's a favorite fishing spot for the eagles so it may have been trying to intimidate but the heron stood its ground.

Image of an American bald eagle standing on the end of an ephemeral log in a green, slow-moving river and facing a juvenile great blue heron standing at the other end of the log. The log is tilted up on the right, so the heron's knees are at the same level as the eagles head. Bald eagles have brown body feathers, white head and tail feathers, yellow beaks, green-yellow eyes, yellow legs and feet, and sharp, black talons. Juvenile great blue herons have grey-blue and white mottled body feathers, a white cheek, a blue cap, grey beak, and grey legs and feet. The mud, tree roots, and vegetation are visible on the river's shore in the background.

I caught sight of this fox hunting, lost him in the tall grass. He came from behind a hill, caught sight of me and took off. Then he watched me from atop the hill and all was good! https://belinda-greb.pixels.com/featured/fox-smiling-down-at-me-from-a-hill-at-iwetemlaykin-belinda-greb.html #wildlifephotography #redfox #AYearforArt

"‘Floral Bath Tub’ by Mousam Ray

A crimson sunbird is seen enjoying cooling water pooled in the petal of a banana flower in India. Ray’s images often pick birds as their subject, and in this instance he notes the sunbird is “showing a very rare behaviour”. It’s “as if nature creates a floral bath tub for her”, he says."

Map Turtles are a freshwater reptile with light markings that resemble the contour lines of a map. These two were enjoying each others company, with one giving us a little hello wave, while sunning on a log at the Moon River Ontario Canada and are a species of concern.
