Another shot. Was shooting 1/500 because it's dark in the woods. Wasn't fast enough to freeze his head.

Alder Bay, Vancouver Island BC.

Got some pics of these little guys this past weekend.

And caught this Heron hunting eels

And this crow swooping an eagle! Not sure if defending nest or territory.

They're pretty cool characters. This one likes to get on the window feeder and kick all the seed out even if it's just hulled sunflower.

Got this little guy on a weekend trip to Quadra Island, BC, a couple weeks ago.

Love this cheeky butt pic, but wish I'd gotten the eyes in focus!
