Thanks.
Your photos are great; thanks for sharing.

Wow, gorgeous pics! Resting Bald Eagles and Kingfishers are really tough to photograph, well done. In your first post, third pic - is that a Cedar Waxwing?

Thanks. The Kingfishers never let me get within 60'. You really have to sneak up on them.
Yes, that is a Cedar Waxwing. They are very beautiful.
 
This is a Trumpeter Swan. It's the largest swan species in the world and this one was huge. As you can see, it has a tag on its neck.

Not the best photos, but these Wood Ducks look amazing in person.

Where abouts in BC are you? I'm in the lower mainland and would love to find some of those species for photographing! Love the wood duck!
 
Most of these photos are around Maple Ridge; the Fraser River, Pitt River, Alouette River areas.
Thanks.
 
this is my shot of a Brahminy Kite using a Canon eos 60D with 70-200mm f2.8 IS II lens :)
it's a pity tht the villagers here kill these kinds of birds because they snatched away their chickens.. well, sooner or later they will eventually keep their chicken safe as possible lol
