Tanager Torpedo 2023 (Western Tanager)
The young males with the orange heads are somewhat easier to photograph than the older red-headed males but they can still zip along pretty good when they want to.

Similar to MacGillivray's Missile but somewhat larger with different colors 🙂

Pileated Projectile (Pileated Woodpecker)
Another addition to the "Bullet Bird" album. Caught this guy in mid flight at Oliver Woods Marsh today.
Black-Headed Bullet (Black-Headed Grosbeak)
Another shot of when the black-headed grosbeak tucks his wings and glides. Like many birds of this type they have an undulating flight similar to that of a woodpecker.

Another image for my "Bullet Birds" album.
Merlin Missile
You have to be fast to catch dragonflies in mid air.
MacGillivray's Missile
Fast little dudes!

Foothills Marsh.
The "Bullet Bird" of Nanaimo Estuary
Our local northern shrike rocks! Thought he was going to dive right into my camera lens. Cropped for added effect and coolness.
