Ohhh dear ... My apologies to all those Canon gear enthusiasts who are still locked into Winter, but I have been itching to get the 2017 Spring thread started ...

Birds are building nests and doing their Spring thing here on Vancouver Island. Despite the unusual flurries this past few weeks things are proceeding nicely around here ... The flowers are popping up and its time to post your seasonal pix ....... no matter where you are on the planet!

Happy Spring to everyone

Love boat is awesome!! I was thinking you'd start it today. Today is the first day or meteorological spring and I think for most parts of the world that is a better date than Astronomical March 21st. Of course for me spring is another month away when the swans arrive but that is besides the point.

Spring for me means flowers, leaves on the trees, and the return of critters. In Calgary that happens around mid-May. But with global warming, we have a chance for early May.

Nice pictures. I love the hummer. It's still winter here in Spokane, WA and I don't see the snow melting fast anytime soon sadly. This time last year, flowers were already blooming.

Alright! It's been spring in east Tennessee since December I think. Everything is at least a month ahead of normal due to warm temps all winter. Taken with Canon 5Ds & Canon 100 L macro.

Well because I carefully selected my background to avoid all signs of the 2 feet of snow on the ground, I will cleverly sneak this entry into the Spring thread because at least it is a very colourful Redpoll, one of the most red ones I've seen this year.

Thanks for posting Geoff .. What a beautiful image ... Keep em coming!

Ohh and that Meadowlark, ruhikant !!! WOW!!!

I saw my first ever Meadowlarks (here on Vancouver Island) during the last snowfall we had here a few weeks ago. Around 30 birds flying back and forth from a Hawthorne bush to a field. I heard one singing as well. Lovely music!

This is the closest I have to Spring atm. Everything is still in the "brown" transition from winter. Just your common nuthatch I believe. I do know I need to get out and learn to use the 100-400 but this was a good start imo.

Bet you never realized that Hummingbirds have a love of dog fur (well only the females)

Nice Terry. So do you have a location of that nest? That would be fun to shoot.
