Great Blue Heron Reserve

I was out on a cloudy morning with not much light for photography but did manage a few captures. My first sighting was a Green Heron that I flushed from beside the bridge on the west side lagoon, dawn it! I was not ready with my camera. How many times does that happen, too often in my case. I met Joanne and Bruce on the trail and they mentioned a Peregrine over on the dyke side so I kept  watch as I went along the Discovery trail. Here's a few shots I made:
 Orange-crowned Warbler
 Warbling Vireo
 Yellow Warbler
 Warbling Vireo
Ever tried to capture birds in flight. I was not prepared and had the wrong settings for this Steller's JayI was just leaving the Discovery Trail when I heard a Peregrine screeching so I turned back following the call and managed a distant shot through the trees. Not great but it certainly made my day.
