First went to the dyke and there was a lot of activity there. Must have been a good amount of food in the water as many birds were trying to feed. I couldn't get as close as I wanted due to my lens but they were everywhere. I counted about 30+ across the river and around 15-20 above and around the trees near the lookout.
I then went further down south heading towards downtown Squamish. Right beside a gun club. They were shooting all morning long. So loud! I thought the birds would fly away due to the noise but they didn't care one bit.
I then ended up just walking along the whole river pretty much and just snapping away at everything!

Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it. I know I would like a 400mm f2.8 VR that Senna mentioned above but I can't afford that right now. So the 300mm will have to do.
I'm going back very soon. Next sunny weekend I'll be there all morning long. So I'll have more photos to share!
By the way, I love that Pelican! Great shot!
