It caught a vole but had a difficult time dissecting it. |

I always have a hard time with Flycatchers but I think Willow Flycatcher is a safe bet here. Taken Sept 15 at Harrison Hot Springs. |
Sooty Grouse at Manning Park displaying separation between primary and secondary feathers. |
Finally got a picture of a Ruffed Grouse in the Harrison Mills area. |
One of the highlights of a pelagic trip are the Albatrosses. Here a Black-footed chases a Northern Fulmar. |
A Black-footed Albatross soars by. |
Northern Fulmars were plentiful. Here is a dark phase. |
A Northern Fulmar light phase. I believe I personally chummed this one in with a little rolled oats and orange juice. |
This Fulmar was developing some new propulsion features. |
Pink-footed Shearwaters were plentiful but not so Sooty Shearwaters. We saw a few Sootys at the beginning but not many later on in the trip. |
A Pomarine Jaeger does a fly-by while my camera was set at 100mm instead of 600. |
Another record shot. This time a Sabines Gull. |

This old, scraggy Black Bear looks like it has a deformed rear foot. Perhaps the result of a battle or infection. |
Here is a wide shot of the bear. The sun was shining and the wind was nonexistent the day after the pelagic trip. |
