It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted photos.  It’s not that I’m out of photos, but various circumstances have interrupted my photography.  Until yesterday (more about that in my next post) things had been rather slow around the yard.  I worked for several days on some small homemade feeders that would exclude non-clinging birds such as European starlings and House sparrows.  Then I went on a multi-day trip to Oregon in a futile search for migrating shorebird photographic opportunities.  So this post will be mostly catchup, but stay tuned for some exciting photographs from the neighborhood!

A couple of weeks ago we had a few days of nice weather and I managed to find a few terns (presumably Caspian) fishing in Fidalgo Bay.  Shooting flying fowl is always challenging and can be fun, and I had a great time photographing the migrating terns as they searched for food.

On the trip to Oregon my bird photography was disappointingly limited, and I managed only one fairly good photo of a male Wilson’s warbler and several photos of one or more juvenile White-crowned sparrows.  I did get a few other photos but most of them were disposable!
