^ nah, I work out of my parents home office and their home overlooks Kelowna. There is a bluff there so sometimes birds will hang out in front. It's pretty cool!
Here's a webcam pic of the view: http://www.wolfhomes.com/webcam.html | |

Good one Colin! Was this through a window? What lens did you use? Cropped much?

^ yes, through a window. Shot with the cheap Sigma 70-300 f4-5.6 @ 300mm
It's cropped a bit. I'd say I cropped about 1/3 away?

Here are a few from Friday when i went out to take some birdy pictures with the 7D + 500L + 1.4x = holy reach!
Spotted Towhee - always thought the eyes were really cool on these   
Juvenile Night Heron - basically taking a nap, but not surrounded by branches! Finally! 
Grey Hawk i think - never seen one before and got a BIF shot! I was happy. 
Some old guy at boundary bay let us go to his barn to see the Barn Owls that hang around. Really dark, and another guy had a flash and some pocket wizards! 
Rooster @ 6400iso on the 7D - unedited just converted to JPG. No flash, just available light

Just saw this and thought it'd be cool to post. Very jealous of some of the setups out there (puts my 50D to shame + modest tele to shame ).
These were taken at the "soon-to-be-closed" Conservatory at QE. 
Not sure if this is Maria, or Carmen :P 
Forgot this guy's name, but he's a very playful macaw. 
One of the golden pheasants that walk around. Very funny.

Really beautiful bird! Nice photo's as well! Would have liked them cropped down a bit, too much open space.
Here are a few from in the Melbourne Botanical Gardens.    
Enjoy!  A little something different in the birding department for me at least!

Holy crap Senna.. You are the undisputed bird king. Amazing shots. Amazing gear too! Do you own the 500mm? That thing is probably worth more than my car...  | |

You guys have amazing photos! I'm so jealous! Great stuff!
I was walking around Burnaby Lake the other day and I snapped a few photos of this bald eagle that was just hanging out but I'm not 100% satisfied with the photos I took. I know I can do better!
Does anyone know if there are some eagles at Brackendale Park this time of year? I checked their website and it only says that their peak season is December to January due to all the salmon that goes through the river. Has anyone been up there lately? I just don't want to trek out there and find nothing but I'm assuming there should still be a bunch of them hanging around.
Please help!
Thanks
Mike

The eagles are almost always there by the entrance to Westham Island. If they're not there, then go to 72nd St by Boundary Bay Airport - guaranteed you'll see eagles. Also go to:
- the boat launch at Vanier Park. There is a tree right next to the Coast Guard Station with a huge nest there.
- the parking lot at Hastings & Renfrew has a tall tree with a nest. The eagles are always hanging around there.

So no Brackendale then? I also seen a bunch every now and then at Iona Beach.

Really nice photo's Senna! Looks like its been good weather in Vancouver for some birding lately! Would love to be around there at these times. The hummer's are starting to be out which is always fun! Would be nice to find another nest somewhere at Reifel. Look forward to seeing your birding photo's over the next few months! All you other birders here should get out there too! Senna is running the show around here! haha..
Here are a few of mine from around here.. a few different that in the Vancouver area.   
Setup was 7D + 500L + 1.4x II extender. All taken in Melbourne Australia.
