As beautiful as she is talented, Maria truly owned the space in front of my camera during our recent studio session.

I love walking and shooting in wetland areas.  The wildlife you can see in them plays a significant role in that love, and the birds there are a significant part of the wildlife.

(Full post on my site, where you can see the additional photos, and visit the Print Store: https://andrewflenniken.com/2026/02/27/february-27th-2026-i-like-big-birds-and-i-cannot-lie/)

The focus today is on the larger birds, and here we have representation from a Double-crested Cormorant, Great Blue Heron, and Canada Geese.

All shots taken at the Center for Urban Horticulture.

Duck (noun): Any of various swimming birds in which the neck and legs are short, the feet typically webbed, the bill often broad and flat, and the sexes usually different from each other in plumage

Duck (verb): To lower the head or body suddenly

Here we have some of the nouns verbing themselves.  ;)

I took a walk through the Union Bay Natural Area at the Center for Urban Horticulture recently, and brought my long lens along 'just in case'.  It's a good location for spotting birds of all sorts and, though we're not into migration season yet, I thought I might get lucky.

Friends, I think I did.  :)

This pair of Bald Eagles were in the wetlands portion of the natural area, perched in two different trees near each other.  Given the time of year and their difference in size, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a mated pair with a nest in the area somewhere.  I hope to see them next time I'm there, and I'll be bringing that long (and heavy, oof) lens with me for sure.

Drue shining brightly on the streets of Valencia. There are some spots here in the city center with some amazing light and placing someone like Drue in them is why I do what I do :)
