I keep trying to find these beautiful birds but I never seem to be able to capture them sitting still like this, not in Burnaby Lake or even at gardens. Whereabouts was this at if you don't mind my asking? 😊
So sorry for the late reply Andy! This was taken in Stanley Park. They do spend a lot of time sitting still on their favourite perches. But they are hard to spot for sure. I normally listen for the Male's territorial calls. site loud and distinct. Once you learn to recognize their calls, they'll be much easier to spot and photograph :)
Thanks for “capturing” our elusive gem 💎
Stunning close up footage, Michael! Wow.
feathered jewel
beautiful ☺
Thank you Shelley!

@@michaelaagaardphoto I didn't know they had a mating call. Will have to search for the sound now. Thank you for replying! 😀
