Very interesting! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1520051039790-DSV7OC3FXITZC34RV60N/_K9A57538.jpg Blog - Feb 2018 The "discussion" continued for a while. They finally flew off, and one returned. It was a noisy scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1520051202004-QO7437VUGVU18GWZ4YOI/_K9A57603.jpg Blog - Feb 2018 Um, definitely some courtship going on. 'Nuff said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1520050938921-75VOZYCQNTX0JNRQL9OH/_K9A57537.jpg Blog - Feb 2018 These gulls were either in a courtship ritual or a big disagreement. It sure looked like the latter to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1520051124529-XEUASJ5P38WTFCNZW38G/_K9A57558.jpg Blog - Feb 2018 Another sign of spring https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1520051356115-16ZQQOP6QZ6TRK16TA4J/_K9A57429.jpg Blog - Feb 2018 I love trying to capture birds at the beginning of their dive - "kissing the water", so to speak. This merganser decided to head down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1520052271409-ES3KVQD0S6IQKB8IQXHY/_K9A57199.jpg Blog - Feb 2018 So much for spring. We had a family weekend in Leavenworth, WA with a lot of snow the second day. Yes, it was snowing as hard as it looked. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1520052916392-OPSW8BMUHPKYN6URBYQZ/_K9A57124.jpg Blog - Feb 2018 This goose was coming right at me, just overhead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1520052775211-G2Z3R2MVPID48BFMG27P/_K9A57180.jpg Blog - Feb 2018 Beautiful scenery https://www.stevelanierphotography.com/blog/2018/2/14/edmonds-waterfront-21318 monthly 0.5 2018-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1518668595272-RSMD15GX2DJKKPG5EJVF/_K9A57024.jpg Blog - Edmonds Waterfront 2/13/18 This shows a bit more detail on how many fish go through the pipe. Don't think the gulls didn't notice! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1518668439367-IVBPCI5T9F5Q3I3AWNVJ/_K9A56840.jpg Blog - Edmonds Waterfront 2/13/18 I had my shutter speed up pretty high in order to catch the detail of the water and fish. Taken with 100-400mm lens and 1.4 extender. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1518668069350-UOXGQNYC0V1S1TQH9GCT/_K9A57013.jpg Blog - Edmonds Waterfront 2/13/18 Pumping out the salmon into the pen. Has to be a rude shock to the fish, huh? The good news is there were only a couple of the fish that didn't survive. https://www.stevelanierphotography.com/blog/2018/2/11/skagit-county-21018 monthly 0.5 2018-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1518408373719-RNPROJP5DJQS7C7QVYI4/_K9A56320.jpg Blog - Skagit County 2/10/18 These geese obviously can't read. Honest, this sign was really there.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1518408716188-6OBQMS4YCS5S1KOISP6O/_K9A56361.jpg Blog - Skagit County 2/10/18 Here are a few of the approximately 2,000-3,000 Snow Geese in the field, that took flight when some Bald Eagles showed up. Now only 2,999 left. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1518408929260-4AROG1MEHFL8CMUNC4J2/_K9A56443.jpg Blog - Skagit County 2/10/18 What a beautiful sight in the sun and blue sky. I intentionally blurred this image a bit using a relatively slow shutter speed to give an idea of what it looks like in real time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46696f29f187acc41a6d5d/1518409115692-J4VX0O5CTD4LXIJ3CYK5/_K9A56462.jpg Blog - Skagit County 2/10/18 This gives you an idea of the depth of the geese as they took flight.
