Cover of my new book

Hummingbird

A male Anna's hummingbird in full plumage. A great deal of chasing and chittering going on between both males and females, and males and males. Since Anna's may nest as early as December or January, I assume these are mating activities.

Swans in Conflict

This picture is one of a series taken at Esquimalt Lagoon. The two swans fought and chased around for some minutes.
