Killdeer nest

Killdeer parent diligently incubating eggs in a gravel nest. These adaptable shorebirds often nest directly on the ground in open areas, relying on excellent camouflage to protect their eggs from predators. The speckled eggs look just like another stone on the ground.

Red Fox mother and kit

Bonaparte's Gulls.

Named after a nephew of Napoleon , Charles Lucien Bonaparte, a leading ornithologist in the 1800s in America and Europe. An occasional visitor to the lagoon. I've read that these birds tend to keep to themselves, but these Bonaparte's were mingling with Oyster catchers and much larger gulls. April 14/26 Colwood BC Canon R5 II, RF 200-800mm 1/2000 F9 1250 ISO

You can’t really see what the images are because they’re so zoomed in before you click on them to see what they are in full view you also cannot see the view count --- Timestamp: 2026-04-14T15:54:01.127Z Page: https://photoclub.canadiangeographic.ca/feedback User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 18_7 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/26.3 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1
