Hi Kay: Enjoyed all your heron photos, especially the ones in the trees. Neat photos of the hawk. Everything sure looks better with a blue sky, doesn’t it? By the way, are you using your teleconverter? If so, how do you like it?

Hello thanks Ed. I have used my teleconverter and even though I didn't use my tripod, I got some fairly decent pics of the Sidney eagles.

This heron at Esquimalt Lagoon yesterday was hoping to catch himself a snack but all he caught was feathers. Click pics bigger.

This baby swan was 1/3 the size the last time I saw it. Mom & Dad were very protective and hissed several times when some young children got a little too close to baby. Click pics bigger.

A few other birds at Esquimalt Lagoon yesterday. A young seagull snatches a hunk of bread, an oprey flying towards the other end of the lagoon, and several Black Oyster Catchers on the sandbar. Click pics bigger.

A few people were sitting on the logs throwing bird seed on the beach for the geese, ducks, pigeons, and other smaller birds but the swans preferred to be hand fed. Click pics bigger.

Another swan family with 2 babies, a bit older than the first one. These ones were down at the other end of the lagoon. Click pics bigger.
