This is honestly, my favourite thing that Bluebirds do. I just love how they "fall" off their perches. This is a method they do that is also know as "drop-hunting" to get to their insects.

Profile Picture

I have tried to change my profile picture since it seems I cannot access my previous profile (which I would prefer). Anyways, I cannot seem to upload a new profile pic...it has now changed to an avatar which I def do not want. --- Timestamp: 2026-04-15T15:51:32.222Z Page: https://photoclub.canadiangeographic.ca/feedback User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Behind the Grass

I decided to take a drive up the mountain in behind our home, we own land up there and the only way to access it is through some old cut blocks. Last time we drove up there, we saw so many Bluebirds, so I decided to try my luck and see if I could find them again. As I was starting to drive up the steeper part, I saw something to my left, on the top of a hill. I quickly stopped as soon as I saw the flash of red and instantly knew what it was. A Dusky (Blue) Grouse in his display! This is something I have never seen before and was so incredibly happy to have not only seen this, but photographed him. He was so amazing to see like this. I only wish he had stepped out a bit from the brush, but still so lucky to have seen him when I did, definitely in the right place at the right time.

Nothing To See Here

I was out looking for birds, when I saw something peek out from this bale of hay that was beside the dirt road at a nearby farm. It's a really quiet dead-end road, so not much traffic, other than me and the farmer. I couldn't resist stopping and taking photos of this Mule Deer Doe. She looked right over the top of the bale directly at me, as if telling me to mind my business LOL

I had stopped once I saw this tree and a bird sitting at the top. It was quite the distance away, but I knew I just had to try. I loved the way the clouds were starting to form, but the sun was shining in behind me. The more I looked at the tree, I saw not only one Northern Flicker, but two! One had decided to move trees, where another Flicker was sitting in. This has really been the year for Northern Flickers, they seem to be everywhere!

The View!

I was driving along a dirt road, when I saw some Bluebirds. I looked to my left, saw a tree with the mountains in the background, all it needed? Was a Bluebird to complete it. I couldn't believe that one had actually landed on the tree! I was playing around with the f-stop on my camera, trying to make the mountains more in focus, but also keeping the focus on the Bluebird. I found a sweet spot on my camera, adjusted the rest of the settings and was able to get a few photos with the mountains. This photo shows more of the mountains all around and gives a different perspective of the scene. A dream come true!

Enjoying the View

Peeking

I was out for a drive over the weekend at one of my favourite spots. There wasn't a whole lot out yet, it was a cooler morning and overcast. I saw a pile of large rocks on the hillside beside me and decided to take scan them over, that's when I saw a couple of Marmots peeking up from the rocks. I love the bit of bokeh in behind this marmot!
