We live in a very green part of town – little parks with lakes are short walks or tram rides. Just a couple blocks away is a large park with a lake, bordering a big forest. I never thought we would be able to go bird watching with daily walks from here, but it was been wonderful. All of the birds and songs are new, but we’re learning. We’re still looking for a birding group to join, but no luck finding one yet. These are some shots from the nearby lakes. We’ve seen a few fancy fowls, but are still working on getting good shots of them.
Seagulls - all kinds everywhere
Magpie - almost as annoying as crows but prettier
Graffited hut in park
Coot - these guys have huge feet
Unknown duck - maybe Muscovey related
Great Blue Heron
The rest are posted on Flickr:

Gosh the shots are gorgeous!
I’m envious in earnest :)!
And those feet are indeed huge!
Beautiful shot of the Great Blue Heron!
Great pictures. That Coot does have huge feet. Why is that?

Great shots! And I’d never seen a magpie till I moved here. I love them, although everyone else thinks they’re annoying.

That photo of the hut in the park is quite special. You must have a super-zoom lens to get so many great birdie photos! *lol*
