Mountain Monday Interrupted By Birds
### I went down to the shore this evening taking my big zoom lens, wanting to take some photos of the mountains, but I arrived way too early and the light still wasn't very good.

### A couple of hours later the light would really improve. I waited around as long as I could and took a few photos.

### The Oak Bay Hotel and some apartment buildings.  Do you see the haze in the air?

### Check this place out.  Click to zoom in... a lot of glass in that house.

### I started to amuse myself with bird photos. You don't normally find Bald Eagles on the ground...

### It's like Feathered Friday meets Mountain Monday...

### Finally... there is starting to be a little more clarity in the air.  Here you see Mt. Baker, 75 miles distant. I'd like to hang around for more shots but there's not a cloud in the sky.  No chance of a sunset.

### On the way back to the car a saw a Male Anna's Hummingbird.  What are you going to do? Some Mountain Mondays are just for the birds I guess. ;-)

### All photos taken today by me using a Nikon D750 camera and Tamron 150-600mm lens.
